I agree with your premise but not your conclusion. I don't think international flights impact domestic flights that much.

$1400-2000 to Miami (gulp)

$600 cheaper out of LAX.

What the hell is going on with domestic air travel prices.

Gas is cheap, and these prices sure do feel like algorithmic price fixing and not "demand."

Boquet break. Roses and scented geraniums both given to me as cuttings from friends.

Stink horn mushrooms are amazing.

They certainly don't look like something that would grow in California let alone earth.

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

I'm not saying there is an AI bubble butt...

Yes. There is a test source right on the geiger counters. Also old smoke detectors.

I picked up a civil defense geiger counter kit from the Alameda Antiques market for $100.

What's cool about it is that it is vintage @oshwassociation.bsky.social hardware. Every piece includes a BOM, schematic, and board design in the manual.

I came into this article with low opinions on surrogacy and venture capitalists and this article supports those opinions.

Anyway, this story is tragic and WILD.

Just pulled a PSA grade 9 10mm Craftsman socket wrench.

Anyway, get off your ass and press the flesh.

Can confirm.

Everyone is spamming job postings and despite what everyone claims AI review tools don't work.

We're back to square one: referrals and pressing the flesh.

Script that pulls all of the permissively licensed photos from inaturalist and makes an ecotype collage.

Square, the people who make the iPad cash registers, is now advertising "dynamic pricing" using AI.

This feels like enshittification at scale.

Overpriced coffee at 8am: $7

Capitalist innovation!
