Ah, women’s health privacy vs men’s health privacy - kind of weird but understandable.

As it happens, Washington put some reasonable-sounding rules in place after the 2020 protests ( https://crosscut.com/politics/2021/07/what-new-wa-police-acc... ), and our police reacted in the same way yours di

Ugh, I didn’t realize that. I got in just under the wire at 44—guess I’m glad my ex left when he did?

Cervical cancer kills. I don’t think you mean “it’s worse for a man to lose his penis than for a woman to die” but that’s how it’s coming across. And that’s unfortunate because your point is entirely valid: men are not nearly terrified enou

Agreed. I’d rather see “doesn’t actively recommend” or “is neutral” or something.

I can’t tell whether you’re unfamiliar with the single- vs. double-staircase architectural arguments, or disagreeing with them: https://slate.com/business/2021/12/staircases-floor-plan-twi...

The two-staircase requirement leads directly to apartment buildings being big, with long corridors. Given my choice of living in a small building with a few families, with one staircase, where people know each other (the one-stair architect

Not to be flip, but the fact that Google canceled a project doesn’t say a whole lot about whether that project was viable.

The author isn’t doing anything systematic with “they” replacing he/she everywhere; it’s just that the main character uses “they” pronouns. For people who don’t know anyone using “they” pronouns, a book like this can be a helpful way t

I love everything about this. Shopping for hardware now. If I get it up and running, I'll submit a PR for the US Episcopal calendar. This is a bigger and more involved project than I think a lot of people will realize. One of my recent

I agree with almost everything here, but this isn't what I'm referring to. What I hear ad nauseam is not that SEA/PDX/SFO are used Corollas but that they're Pintos with fire coming out the tail end. If what you'

This is where it gets subjective again and I bow out, because the Seattleites I know would disagree with you (except about the cops, which is the same problem nationwide).

It doesn't look to me (from 20 miles away) as if Seattle's government is notably efficient or effective, and I'd even say one-party rule is partly to blame: opposition parties serve a useful purpose. But I don't think th

Hm. We have plenty of Washington-to-Texas migration from the suburbs, and there's no serious contention that, say, Auburn and Kent are mismanaged by Democrats. I know multiple families who have left for Texas in the last few years, and

There's this idea that west coast cities are shitholes, and honestly it's BS. I live in the Seattle suburbs and I'm downtown regularly, and the only obvious problem is the public disorder visited on us all by Martin v. Boise.

Cruise control has been around for decades, and is a tool for maintaining a constant speed. When you're passing someone, you should not be maintaining a constant speed. Cruise control is therefore the wrong tool for that situation. Dri

No, in this case I think it’s fair to ask for clarification, since the whole point of the article is that things are suddenly breaking on Teslas.

It’s unbelievable that you’re not supposed to use cruise control when passing? It sounds like common sense to me: you’re supposed to be accelerating to get past the other car.

Now that it's known to be contaminated with CSAM, using it is likely against US federal law. So they've now done their competitors a favor, and exposed themselves to liability. Seems unlikely.

It is, in countries that negotiate price. The US is doing the equivalent of walking into a market where everyone else is negotiating, and taking the vendor’s first sky-high offer.

I’m not a huge Threads user (I’m more of a Hachyderm type myself) but it really would make a great addition to the fediverse. I didn’t expect it to ever really happen, of course, so this is very encouraging news.
