It was uber-miserable. For comparison, in my old SoCal town in the Mojave Desert, I would walk (generally 18,000 - 25,000 steps per day) up to 105F. There, the relative humidity was usually less than 25%. The temperature (105F) felt hotter, yes. Especially in the direct sunlight. But it wasn't as miserable.The dogs and I truncated the early walk at around 1,500 steps. On the late walk, I did just barely reach 10,000 steps for the day ... just before it was so dark that I couldn't progress any more without a flashlight.

lnxw37j1: @gnu2 The problem with this POV is that people need a way to know when a person is able to make important decisions for themself. Age works well, as long as we acknowledge specific (and detectable) exceptions (such a mental / emotional handicap) and ethical quandries (boss / subordinate, instructor / student, etc). I consider "age of consent" to be a subset of legal majority, the age when one is presumed to have an adult mind and therefore one can sign contracts. (Again, specific exceptions should exist, such as mental / emotional handicap and influential /negotiation / market power ... where one party is in a controlling position relative to the other.)

Not to mention that Turkiye did almost cause a NATO split when they invaded Cyprus (even today, the northern part of the island is held as a non-recognized Turkish-enforced nation).
lnxw37j1: @gnu2 I'm not sure it was ever true. One would have to do a deep dive on that study to determine how much one agrees with the result.

lnxw37j1: 2nd week in a row that the kids' sports games are cancelled due to rain. Except that in both cases, it rained overnight, but the field seemed to be okay by game time. This week, it was raining when they would have had practice, too. They're going to have to go back to basics when they get back on track: this is a ball; we use it when playing our sport.

lnxw37j1: @sun ... Except that Nostr's design happened after ActivityPub was already in use. They seriously could have learned from the existing attempts at decentralized networking, but chose to ignore it all.

lnxw37j1: @moon@shitposter.club I worked with a couple of guys who had been at Bell Labs / Lucent (at the end of and after their most productive years) and at Xerox PARC and Rochester research labs (during their most productive years). From what I understand from my friend, the AT&T breakup was the biggest factor. Before that, AT&T was a huge org with guaranteed profits and lots of places to obscure their spending. Afterwards, Lucent had to scramble to be profitable. And so they refocused most of their research on hardware for the telephone system AND because their competitors were on the "release flawed products and then release patches later" train and they were on design and test until all known flaws were removed, Lucent couldn't compete, so they had layoffs. Now, I wasn't there, so I can't say whether my friend's recollection was accurate, but that's what he told me. (The other former co-worker, the one who had worked for Xerox PARC and Xerox Rochester, said that PARC was much more creative because they were far away from the management in Upstate NY, but as we know, most of their inventions were left to rot on the vine unless someone outside of Xerox decided to implement them.)
