it sounds like these are distributed at comiket. though if there's anything else like this distributed as a magazine/postal subscription lmk -- this would no joke be perfect for the local hackspace.

idk about mashed potatoes, but i do just add matcha to half the things i bake now. matcha banana bread? yes. matcha pancakes? hell yeah. does it taste better? actually yes, but more importantly my pancakes are caffeinated now, as i argue they should have been from the start.

people who wear glasses with text written on the lens are on another level. like "there's this bit of text floating in the corner of my vision everywhere i go but it's fine"

just heads up if you're getting captchas on YT you'll probably start getting those on other Google services over time too.

it snowballs like this: YouTube decides you're a bot => you use less YouTube => Google/Alphabet gets less information/fingerprints of you => Google Search decides you're a bot => you switch to a different search engine => Google Maps decides you're a robot ...

“Just in case I need it” is the principle of hoarding.

a large media library achieves a similar thing a subscription to on-demand streaming achieves: pick a film to watch, and you can immediately press play. there's also a curation aspect. whenever one friend speaks highly of a film, i grab it. then once i have a larger group of friends over for movie night, we just peruse the library until we find something everyone's in the right mood for. whatever we select from that library, i can be confident it'll be received well: it's already been vetted.

i mean it's not that different from the original value proposition for Netflix, only it survives even after they turn off the money faucet.

make this clear to ST and the legislature. make your vote for their next lightrail levy conditional on it being fareless.

I personally believe that the prospect of getting hassled and ticketed by fare enforcement staff is a legitimate reason we don’t see more people on the trains who are visibly suffering from addiction and homelessness.

i also stopped riding once they ramped up the fare enforcement. i'm not homeless or addicted, i just don't enjoy confrontation and fare enforcement (regardless if you paid or not) is an extremely confrontational interaction.
