Two of my coworkers took #Amtrak's new (temporary) service for its inaugural run all the way from Chicago to Miami a few days ago.
All 48+ hours of it.
In coach, because public media isn't exactly flush with cash.
Here's what they saw and experienced along the way:

Daylight Saving Time has really helped me understand the global reaction to the climate catastrophe
Here's a thing that would cost us literally nothing to remove, would make our lives easier if we removed it, that makes us all feel terrible, costs billions of dollars in lost productivity, and literally kills our children now … and we just … can't do it.
In light of that, it's no wonder that we refuse to make a concerted, drastic change whose effects will be felt decades in the future
@jwz Oh their greedganda is loud,prevalent and nonstop if you block it you still see it.In hell the demonganda is everywhere.
German language question: In English, if you want to create a random name which could mean anyone, people often talk about “John Doe”, as in the sentence, “Any John Doe could have done it” — meaning anyone could have done it.
In Danish we sometimes say Mr. Hansen or Ms Jensen.
What do you say in German? And is it even common to use these made up names in a sentence?
For a trapdoor function to use I'd take the curve y^2 mod 2^255-19 = x^3 + 486662x^2 + x mod 2^255-19. Add 2 points along this curve by drawing a straightline between them, locating the other intersection, & mirroring to the other half of the curve. Doubling a point on the curve finds the other intersection along the tangential line, then mirrors it.
In which case we can multiply points on the curve by repeating that addition operation!
Mathematicians please summarize why this is suitable!

South #Lebanon, which refused to move or follow IDF evacuation orders. I've
also overlaid IDF evacuation areas in red, showing where Ireland's… (1/2)
