Sometimes it would be nice to unfold a body double of myself out of the 4th dimension. But it would be awkward deciding who has to die afterward.

Looking at transport specifically, it would probably be more feasible as a broadening of NZTA’s skill set / remit in some way rather than a separate Ministry of Works. I’ve got no idea what the gap is, and what still makes sense to contract out, though.

I find it’s usually the flea’s eyebrows, although tend to double-check provided links if it’s something important.

Perhaps it can be reassuring to see someone obscenely racist, and think “that racism. I’m not that. I’m just a realist.”

I just watched A House of Dynamite on Netflix and I think they accidentally deleted the last 10 minutes of the tape.

More seriously, I think that’s why people generally disgusted at web3 can still like atproto/bluesky — it hasn’t been built as a pyramid scheme around an invented asset class, which IMO most web3 projects seemed to be.

I hear you, but I still *feel* like it’s only web3 if we’re being milked for some invented token, otherwise it’s just sparkling decentralisation.

Sad to say but Grok is probably the tool for this, with its Twitter integration

“Insurance caps seems like an insane idea, but unfortunately people en-masse are insane”

Hopefully lawmakers rein in the idea, though…?

Great little write-up of a handful of data storage techniques, combined to make a key store, mirroring the algorithms used in production ones.

I think some bisexuals feel that their sexuality is rendered invisible by the specifics of their relationship, and so it could just be a push against that?

Yes, but it’s also not something easily spent on teachers and nurses. So the GDP figures are more useful for working out “what can we afford?”
