There's probably half a dozen reasons I prefer my problematic Swedish music streamer to the eponymous offering from Cupertino, and here's one.

If you like the music in a TV show like "Outer Range?" There's a pretty good chance someone has made a playlist of it. In this case, the playlist was made by the company that makes the show.

This is awesome, and everyone should do this.

@caseyliss

I think, owing to the fact that he can't pardon himself for a state crime, that potential reality-thread is even worse.

He is sentenced, he appeals, he wins the presidency, loses his appeal after he is inaugurated, and says something to the state of NY to the effect of either a) “You know where I live on Pennsylvania Avenue, if you want to arrest me come and get me." (bad) or b) makes the argument that putting the sitting president in prison is a national security issue.

My favorite thing about tethering is

nothing

nothing is my favorite thing about tethering

Please, cellular Macs already!

(Today's anti-favorite: if the phone loses reception for even a moment — common on trains! — it disconnects tethering and never reconnects. You're just offline until you notice. Then you need to reconnect from the Mac's Wi-Fi menu again, after waiting for the option to become available, a process that's almost as slow as dialing up your ISP with a modem in the 1900s.)

@marcoarment

Old info but I used to have more success tethering (and specifically with the disconnection issue) if I connected the iPhone and the mac via USB. I'm not sure if anything is happening over the cable, or if it was just placebo, but Apple seems to suggest there is something to it.

@andrew I'm not a mathematician, but I think a ratio of 1:83 would mean men have 83 TIMES the wealth of women.

The document you cite is entirely about TOP wealthholders (and says so over and over), so it's not exactly about "men and women" so much as "very rich men and very rich women" (assets over $11M). I also don't see the ratio you cite anywhere in it, but I admit that I only skimmed and text searched it.

I completely believe in a wealth disparity between men and women, but your details are a mess.

andrew,
@andrew@esq.social avatar

@mxyzptlk

You're right, I overstated it by not noting it was $11m+. I deleted it and will reframe more clearly.

    Nope, not "well actually" at all -- you're right. I fat fingered a “:" where there should have been a “.”

    1.83 meaning 183%

    I found myself stuck in traffic 🚌 🚗 🚑 🚙 🚗 recently with my betrothed piloting. At one point, we were behind a Hyundai Ioniq 6, which has received rave reviews.

    I applaud them for providing an affordable EV that looks interesting, much like the Ioniq 5, even if it does have a tiny trunk.

    This photo may not truly depict it, but I found it exceedingly, needlessly ugly from the rear.

    You can’t always judge a car from online review pix. 🤷‍♂️

    Yeah, the protrusions look like there is a cage over the bumper, or its an aftermarket bumper for some other car.

    Weird. Maybe it looks better stylized in concept.

    @andrew@esq.social avatar

    Looking for an outlet to place my more #tech-focused (and thus less #tax or strictly #law) policy writing -- anyone know of an outlet that might be amenable to a freelance contributor?

    DMs are open, I'm a weekly columnist at Bloomberg Tax, contributor to Forbes Money, among some others. Looking for a tech publication that wouldn't mine hearing a tax/tech attorney and prof opine on things like the currently being contemplated #FCC AI rules, etc.

    Great, now we'll get to hear from Tom Cotton again.

    Claiming Henry Kissinger is your favorite anything other than war criminal, much less your favorite AUTHOR, should preclude one from holding office.

    I am talking o a reporter about this in a couple hours: https://regina.ctvnews.ca/from-outer-space-sask-farmers-baffled-after-discovering-strange-wreckage-in-field-1.6880353

    This is about an hour away from my farm, so this'll be a fun conversation, and yet another great opportunity to tell a lot of people about what a huge problem we have with unregulated commercialization of orbit. (Also I just redid my slides for my public talk next week, this is going in!)

    Also highly recommend his book, specifically the audiobook which is read by him.

    or get it via Libby/Overdrive and your library.

    periodic reminder the Oregon Zoo has a beaver named Filbert that the let carry sticks and shit through the offices and they post videos calling him "the branch manager."

    I aspire to have the demeanor such that the joke would remain funny after the first time I had to clear up beaver crap on low pile carpet, but I fear I never will.

    When everyone at the low-rent dinner party is dead, one member of law enforcement will stand alone.

    Before tearing his sunglasses from his face, he will growl, “I guess that was one spicy spaghetti dish.”

    Your guy probably didn't have the social safety net of MAGA, though. If Eastman doesn't get greedy he can do fine for himself and stay just this side of the law.

    That said, I wouldn't bet against your outlined trajectory -- ego is the problem.
