  • Citation needed.

    If the largest ad network on the planet were regularly getting peoples devices pwned just by watching a video, that would be front page news everywhere. Like even the cover of Rachel Ray magazine.

  • I agree completely with your review of Magic Earth. I will say that I keep some maps on my phone in Organic Maps as well. They are easier for me to follow when hiking on forest trails. When we went trailblazing on snowshoes, it made finding our way back to the main route simple.

  • I have lived in one state that had open primaries. A voter still had to choose which primary to vote in that day. Some independent voters will choose to vote in the R primary and some in the D primary but you still have the problem of moderates largely joining the party primary with the most influence in their area.

  • I agree that even small streets can be pedestrian hostile. I live off of a road where most homes were originally .5-1 acre lots built in the early 1960s. Few of the original houses remain unchanged. Most have either been subdivided to build infill homes or torn down to build even more homes (think 3 or 4 SFH replacing 1).

    The street design remains unchanged. Two lanes with no sidewalks and drainage ditches on either side of the road. The road is signed 25 mph but most drivers go 35-40 since it is straight and unimpeded for almost half a mile. Pedestrians must either walk in the street and hope drivers go around them or cross the road multiple times to find a flat surface not at the bottom of a 3 foot deep ditch. Since the city considers the road to be an important connector, they refuse to install speed bumps or other traffic calming. There has been a plan to build sidewalks for almost 25 years but it keeps getting pushed back since the project will require burying utilities, tons of fill dirt, and a rebuild of a bridge over a small creek.

  • Not all that relevant. AZ has seen a steady growth in population for decades. Heat deaths are up 2.5x since 2016 (and even more if you look at 2015). The state population hasn’t changed nearly that fast. It’s about doubled since I lived there in the early 2000s. Meanwhile, heat deaths are up about 10x since then.

  • Mostly, the “laudable goals” language is to shut down the think of the children argument because everyone knows this isn’t really about that.

    If they started off denigrating the bill without acknowledging the stated intent, you end up with the nonsense of my favorite radio commercial of the moment. I don’t even remember what it’s for but the following exchange cracks me up.

    A: Think of the children.

    B: The children aren’t what’s important right now.

    A: Fine. Forget the children.

    B: No. That’s worse.

  • I popped into Lemmy for a few minutes while using the facilities this morning. An F1 spoiler was the second post in my feed. How about we not post spoilers in the title. It’s really not a big ask.

  • I live on the west coast of the US. The race started at 6am local time. Given I’m usually not home until midnight on a Saturday night, there’s no way I’m watching it live. There are millions of us in the same boat.

  • I tried Homebank for a bit about 18 months ago but found just enough pain points with it working well with my various bank’s files that I stopped using it and purchased Moneydance instead.

    I don’t use Moneydance+. I simply import the QFX files manually every Monday morning and make sure my Billpay gets setup for upcoming due dates. Moneydance also offers a mobile client which has come in handy a few times.

  • I honestly don’t think that, with this car, on this track, McLaren’s tire choice made much difference. They were simply quick no matter the rubber.

    I’m anxious to see what they can do on a less favorable track.
