Day 65 of Posting a Richard Scarry vehicle: baby buggy
  • Foreseeing Mario Kart by decades.

  • The Mayor of Calgary, Canada, just received this warning letter
  • As if increasing bicycle throughput isn’t increasing vehicle throughput. They’re vehicles, and can probably achieve a higher passenger density than individual cars can on a city street.

  • Battle of the Cap'ns
  • Season 3 of Picard refutes part of panel 2. Also, dozens? I can only remember David, though I’m not as well-versed in TOS.

  • Lynard Skynard talks about Sweet Home Alabama, but I don't know if that states has anything worth mentioning?
  • There’s a Saturn V on display at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, but the people who made that facility important were born in Germany, not Alabama.

  • Sanders Says Every Republican Who Backed Trump-GOP Budget 'Must Pay a Price at the Ballot Box'
  • Yeah, problem is it’s still 16 months until Election Day, and 18 until the next Congress is seated. That’s a lot of time for this current government to continue to do harm. I really wish we had recall elections at the national level.

  • Absolutely Legend
  • If there was no cursor, where was the code he was typing being entered?

  • Rule 🦅
  • Pen Pen the penguin, living a comfortable life, having someone else pay your bills, all while the world burns outside.

  • I found this keyboard for like $3 and it’s perfect
  • I’d say that’s a weird spot for the \ | key, but looking around, I think that’s one of the last keys on a 104 key keyboard to get standardized.

  • What are interesting and entertaining podcasts to listen to? [English, French, Italian]
  • Well, There’s Your Problem, a podcast about engineering disasters, with slides. Not as dry as it sounds, a lot of it is taking the piss out of the people in decision-making roles who made the disaster possible. The video version is recommended for afore mentioned slide decks; none of the hosts actually appear on screen.

  • How Every Senator Voted on the G.O.P. Megabill
  • I suppose the one meager upside is that this stone is now tied around Vance’s neck, too, for the next presidential election.

  • Project Hail Mary - Trailer
  • There’s also Artemis, a thriller set on a lunar colony. A little less science than The Martian or Hail Mary, but still fun.

  • US Senate strikes AI provision from GOP bill after uproar from the states
  • The reporter kind of dropped the ball when it’s a 99-1 vote and they don’t name the one holdout senator.

  • MTG accuses Trump of "bait and switch" over Iran strikes
  • She, along with all other Republicans, voted to table Rep. Al Green’s impeachment resolution over the attack on Iran, so she’s failed the “put up or shut up” test.

  • Not The Onion
  • And they made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm.

  • The Emmisary ponders his orb
  • Fair. I assumed “Sisko” was sufficient if the reader was aware they were in a Star Trek-related community.

  • The Emmisary ponders his orb
  • A photoshop of the painting “Pondering the Orb,” by fantasy artist Angus McBride. A wizard sits at a table staring at a crystal ball, his face illuminated by the orb’s glow. The wizard’s face has been replaced by Sisko’s, while the crystal ball has been replaced with a baseball.

  • Are there any Android controllers with split D-pads?
  • I think the Switch would be the better example, where up, down, left, and right are four distinct buttons, to be used like ABXY when playing in single Joycon multiplayer mode.

  • ‘We have all the cards’: Trump ending all trade talks with Canada ‘immediately’ over digital services tax - CTV News
  • Last time the administration said another country didn’t have any cards they destroyed a quarter of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet a few weeks later.

  • Very creative of Geordi!
  • “You left Spacedock without a tractor beam?”

    “Have you seen the size of an Excelsior-class shuttle bay? We don’t have any room for farm equipment.”

  • The 11foot8 bridge opens another big can
  • It’s better, but 12’ 4” is still lower than usual, so it still snags some trucks that blow through the warning lights.
