Every year after 70, in that age bracket a decline happens way faster than 5 years.

This is the real answer.

Love CoMaps, it had shockingly good routing instructions for subway trips in many European cities that I visited, and saving the maps locally let me navigate with ease before I picked up a local sim card. I don’t find it very effective to search by address, but landmark or business name work well. At home I just have my usual destinations bookmarked and it has solid routing instructions, though it doesn’t have live traffic updates because it doesn’t connect to any remote servers.

Ah, you mean Tim Apple. 😉

Jeebus, that’s infuriating. I’m so mad I started supporting The Intercept just for covering this farce of a democracy.

Of course it was being pulled behind a bike. 😆 Oh Oregon, stay weird!

I use CoMaps on Linux (as well as mobile) and it works quite well. It uses data from OpenStreetMaps.

Harsh but accurate. Without Carrie Fisher to doctor his scripts (and his wife to find the film in the edit) Lucas was a director famously indifferent to dialogue or character.

Meet the new racist war on drugs, same as the old racist war on drugs.

WeWork was such a fun ride to watch, such a transparently silly company that made stupid money, it never made sense.

Gator, no!

OMG this, and the breathless media reporting about that fictional title are part of the problem. Just the dumbest way to run an economy.

Louisiana taking ACAB to the next level

Multifamily building in most US jurisdictions already requires fire sprinklers, plus modern firewalls and materials, making them much safer than the old single stair constructions from 100 years ago. Egress concerns are typically addressed via emergency window egress up to 5 stories or so. And as others have said, single stair is the norm in Europe, with good fire safety records.

Taxing vehicles by gross vehicle weight and miles traveled is probably a good strategy, as more vehicles are BEV and the meager gas taxes in North America fall farther behind compared to escalating road maintenance costs.

Booming Music for local storage, with some Bandcamp streaming and occasional YouTube playlists via NewPipe.

Duopoly, then.

This article doesn’t mention the limitations of remote access for Jellyfin, which requires some tricks like reverse proxy or Tailscale. I think Jellyfin is a great option if you only watch/listen on your home network, but if anyone wants to replicate the remote access capabilities of Plex, I typically warn them they are going to have to roll their sleeves up.

I never heard that about Scientologists, but I definitely heard that about Mormons. Those foreign languages come in handy in the foreign service, FBI, etc.
