  • I’m tired of arguing with people who don’t understand what the California law is trying to do so I’m going to try making this copy-pastable.

    1. That’s not how it would work. It’s a local setting in the OS.
    2. It’s actually a pretty good idea in theory to have a standardized way of communicating age category signals to websites and programs from the OS level. Device admin can set a user for their child and they won’t then be able to lie to say they’re older, eg to access 18+ content or buy mature games on steam.
    3. A California law is NOT the way to implement this, but the industry didn’t self regulate so this is what you get. The solution is not to yell about California but to work to find a privacy respecting method to meet this so that worse laws aren’t passed. The California law is really not bad in what it requires, but future laws could be.

  • Low tire pressure is not a safety issue, more of a efficiency issue, until it is so low that you’d need to be paying ZERO attention to the car’s handling to not notice. Lower pressure actually increases performance (to a point, and depending on the tire) because it can allow more rubber to contact the road. It is pretty typical to air down to around 20 psi for performance driving even if it’s closer to 35 for daily driving.

    It’s very easy to notice if one tire loses pressure because you’ll have a very strong pull to one side, almost like a bad alignment. I got my tires rotated at a shop and they deflated the tires for some reason and forgot to refill one of them. On my way home I was freaking out that they fucked my alignment because it was handling so weird on the suburban roads home (not even twisty performance driving). My TPMS didn’t even go off until I was basically home already. When I checked the tire it was maybe 15 or 20. Certainly not dangerous but also certainly noticeable.


  • The article makes no argument for why the US is more of a threat than other states or non-state actors. Just that it’s bad. For sure, it’s bad. Really bad.

    But the biggest threat to world peace? Get real.

    The article itself clearly acknowledges that the west is generally still simpatico. So is it the US that’s the threat, or is it Europe and Australia too?

    This conflict is challenging because it’s a couple of bad guys shooting missiles at third bad guy, who then shoots back at the first bad guy and the other bad guy’s bases located in yet more bad guy countries.

    Ukraine is maybe less challenging. Dude was just standing there when Putin decided he wanted to steal a chunk of a sovereign nation. It’s not a CIA Op.

    The yellow line in the meme is selecting quite a bit of area that isn’t SeaWorld parking, and it’s quite old too. On right it’s selecting some park area and the lot for a boat launch. On the left there is admin buildings and a Marina + parking for that. Check the satellite view.
