This is a slick 3D map of Tokyo weather and trains where you can view a variety of webcams. https://minitokyo3d.com/

Tehachapi Loop is another cool train cam with a train ascending in a loop to gain elevation in a short distance. https://www.youtube.com/live/OqCFMmob8Q8

Don’t worry about it. I think I first had sex at 30, mostly due to a religious upbringing that I was in the middle of finding my way out of.

If you want to live a sexy life, go do it, but if you like your current life and just haven’t found the one, that’s something that takes patience and persistence.

One thing you can do is take steps to make sex-positive friends. You can start down that path by talking more openly and frankly about sex, and destigmatize it.

Pumpkin curry is sooooo good.

Tell that to the people driving the dirt road outside my neighborhood.

Moving towards the equator made me hate winter a lot less. Having more consistent daylight throughout the year made a big difference for me.

A few days ago I was messing with my ubiquiti dream router and its ssh config option said the key should start with ssh-rsa 🙄

Yeah, chapter 1 page 2 actually haha but the whole book is good.

This is so Carl Sagan.

And so we got to talking. But not, as it turned out, about science. He wanted to talk about frozen extraterrestrials languishing in an Air Force base near San Antonio, “channeling” (a way to hear what’s on the minds of dead people—not much, it turns out), crystals, the prophecies of Nostradamus, astrology, the shroud of Turin … He introduced each portentous subject with buoyant enthusiasm. Each time I had to disappoint him: “The evidence is crummy,” I kept saying. “There’s a much simpler explanation.”

…

And yet there’s so much in real science that’s equally exciting, more mysterious, a greater intellectual challenge—as well as being a lot closer to the truth. Did he know about the molecular building blocks of life sitting out there in the cold, tenuous gas between the stars? Had he heard of the footprints of our ancestors found in 4-million-year-old volcanic ash? What about the raising of the Himalayas when India went crashing into Asia? Or how viruses, built like hypodermic syringes, slip their DNA past the host organism’s defenses and subvert the reproductive machinery of cells; or the radio search for extraterrestrial intelligence; or the newly discovered ancient civilization of Ebla that advertised the virtues of Ebla beer? No, he hadn’t heard. Nor did he know, even vaguely, about quantum indeterminacy, and he recognized DNA only as three frequently linked capital letters.

Yes. All the time.

The site design could be better though. Human brains don’t understand how insanely large those numbers are without a visualization.

“No meetings before 2pm (when the eastern hemisphere people are going to sleep)” that’ll go over well.

Sure, but there’s no verification when calling a cab so you can use an alias if you want.

Speaking as a driver and cyclist, no driver is going to notice a small camera. Most wouldn’t even notice a sign what says “you are being recorded.”

IMHO the best way to not get hit by a car is to take up more room on the road so you have a safety buffer on your inside lane that you can move into any time you feel unsafe as a car passes. Where I live, most people drive huge trucks, and that’s what I do.

Any time I hug the inside edge of the lane too closely, they think they can squeeze by without going over the middle line, which is unsafe for me. Once they pass that middle line they seem to not care about going way over it, which puts more room between them and me.

Have these guys found Narnia yet? Because shit like this makes it seem like they’re deep in the closet.

You are stealing? Right to hell. You are playing music too loud? Right to hell, right away. Driving too fast? Hell. Slow? Hell. You undercook fish? Believe it or not, hell. You overcook chicken? Hell. We have the best citizens because of hell.

While it may show words and a QR code with the same message, that one is not something I’d pay for or wear due to the different style. Thanks for the link though.

Make sure the bag you bring this stuff in is a beach friendly bag that lets the sand fall out through loose knit threads, like a net. Also if you have clothes with pockets like that, bring them instead of clothes that have pockets made of tight knit cloth.

Also bring something to put seashells into for the trip back home. Maybe a plastic jar.

A bucket is always a good idea. You can find collapsible buckets that would be easy to fit inside a bag. Buckets are good for sandcastles and for bringing water to wash sand off of things.

I think they mean eink ebook reader, which would be fine in the bright sun.
