We found a nice Yemeni coffee shop about a block away from the Port Authority with plenty of seating. When Amtrak lines go down on a Sunday morning, taking the bus is a good option

A screenshot of PayPal's terms of service. Big wall of legalese text, which I will be pasting in below. You don't need to read it, here's the important part: 

"The key update to the Privacy Statement explains how we will share information with merchants to personalize your shopping experience and recommend our services to you. Personal information we disclose includes, for example, products, preferences, sizes, and styles we think youโ€™ll like. Information gathered about you after the effective date of our updated Privacy Statement, November 27, 2024, will be shared with participating stores where you shop."


Here's the whole paragraph: 

We are updating our Privacy Statement to explain how, starting early Summer 2025, we will share information to help improve your shopping experience and make it more personalized for you. The key update to the Privacy Statement explains how we will share information with merchants to personalize your shopping experience and recommend our services to you. Personal information we disclose includes, for example, products, preferences, sizes, and styles we think youโ€™ll like. Information gathered about you after the effective date of our updated Privacy Statement, November 27, 2024, will be shared with participating stores where you shop, unless you live in California, North Dakota, or Vermont. For PayPal customers in California, North Dakota, or Vermont, weโ€™ll only share your information with those merchants if you tell us to do so. No matter where you live, youโ€™ll always be able to exercise your right to opt out of this data sharing by updating your preference settings in your account under โ€œData and Privacy.โ€

In 2025 (less than 30 days away), PayPal will start selling your transaction history for targeted advertising.

I very highly recommend logging into your account and going to Settings > Data & Privacy > Personalized Shopping.

If you're reading this, turn that off RIGHT NOW before you forget.

The Russian Disinformation Attack and the Disappearing Rabbit Trick - Teri Kanefield โ€œThe more I think about it,โ€ said Heather Cox Richardson, โ€œthe more it seems the main story of the past decade has been Russian disinformation to undermine U.S. democracy.โ€ This was a notable comment because Richardson follows all the major political stories from the perspective of a political historian, and she has been doing so [โ€ฆ]

At least for conformational analysis B3LYP performs similarly to your favorites (with dispersion correction included).

Thanks for heads up. Still kinda quiet here but #compchem activity on X still steady. Hoping once sites are federated weโ€™ll get out of the silos and can operate as a community

I feel like I should start an โ€œIn Defense of B3LYPโ€ club

@notquitehydepark.bsky.social some of us are moved and delighted by protein folding experiments and the like - they may not exactly transform our emotional lives but they can affect them deeply with joy and wonder

I like Mastodon. Will be interesting to see what happens when ActivityPub is active across platforms

Whatโ€™s the difference between โ€œStayed hereโ€,โ€œVisited hereโ€, and โ€œStopped hereโ€ I wonder. GitHub comments are in Chinese

Thanks for the suggestions! I dip into TwitterX now and then and thereโ€™s still a lot of science and compchem discussion going on there

Iโ€™m the first Neysa on BlueSky heh heh. Where are all the computational chemists?
