I promise this integration of Indian classical music into Radiohead's Creep, from Avie Sheck and his mom Uma Pant, will delight your ears and heart.
Merry Christmas.

That engineers are prone to see themselves as uniquely smarter than the rest of the world is a widely known pathology! It's even got a name:

NBC News: This is the latest twist in efforts to get aid into Gaza during a patchy ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. While President Donald Trumpβs peace plan appears to be holding, albeit with regular Israeli airstrikes, the crisis endures.
One good thing about me is that my brain works and I don't fall for Orwellian, propaganda nonsense like this.
The Israelis are breaking the ceasefire and NBC News is actively running interference to support the Israeli government (as are most other American corporate media outlets).

The point I wish got emphasized more is that the big winners from congestion pricing are *people who urgently need to drive*. Because they are ones that travel times really matter for. I always thought that instead of congestion pricing it should be called "free streets" - free from other cars.

It pisses me off that Canada got lumped into the NACS transition. Our charging networks are mostly CCS. Tesla superchargers are a bit player here. But we all have to change over because fuck us that's why.

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.
