FYI, the new official Office default is Aptos. I’ve been making work docs with it for a few weeks and I have to admit, it looks really clean and technical.

The differences between victim survey statistics and crime reporting statistics are not easy to explain. In the US, trends in victim reporting tend to lead law enforcement statistics by a year or two, which makes one wonder whether law enforcement is padding the numbers – either to make themselves look good (when crime is increasing according to victim reports and it would reflect badly on them if LE statistics followed suit), or to make themselves look necessary (when victim-reported crime is going down and LE statistics might make LE look redundant).

RC cars. I was into local club racing in the 90s, dropped out of it when my kids were born, now I’m getting back into it.

The technology improvements in power, battery capacity, and radios have been frankly astonishing. Setups that would have cost $1000+ back in the 90s come as ready-to-run kits for $200 now, and perform better.

Maybe 8 to 10 days. My kid got it at school, a little more than a week later I was coughing. I tested positive on home tests for another 10 days or so, I remember because I had to cancel some Dr. appointments.

But I was very vaccinated and it really was no worse than a short cold.

IMO, I think the world is going to transition to using they/them for gender unspecified folks. I’ve been practicing using they/them in written and spoken communications, and it comes off a lot less strange than you’d think.

Unfortunately it has weird issues with my bog standard Intel HP Omen laptop and a 2060 GPU.

Basically any kind of sleep mode kills the GPU. I have go into Display settings and force a re-detect to wake it. Kind of a pain when you use the laptop connected to an external monitor with the lid closed.

Like all humans, I consume organic matter and I am covered in skin.

My own skin, that I grow, from my body.

Same. I support dessamines on Patreon and I’ve dropped donations in several other places.

I’ll pay for Sync again, eventually. But I’ll stick to the ad supported version until it stabilizes.

Hosting & recoding video is very expensive. Hosting social media postings is relatively inexpensive.

I think it’s as simple as that. Not many people can afford to host peertube instances.

It’s an Alien Factor of savings at Menards!

I think some way to make a “Curated” feed of posts only from certain approved communities

We could call it a “front page”.
