The word “structures” dehumanizes the report. How many dwellings is more important.

They’re both smiling. Getting a free tow to dealership for a warranty repair?

Save sealed silica desiccants from electronics and medicine and then newer phones became water resistant +/- waterproof.

LaTeX has come a long way in 40 years since I started with the 5th edition in ‘86. Lucky for me math.utah.edu needed help. I did part time remote work ‘91-‘03.

@aral

Climate “tipping points” have already been passed. Ignoring that at political summits is insane.

@AnnaAnthro Knew a German-American, born in 1914, who attended the ‘36 games. He was bicycling around the Baltic Sea that Summer. He pretended not to speak German, Hermann Nunnemacher of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He stole Hitler’s flag from a Bismarck monument in Poland and brought it home as a souvenir.

@_L1vY_ Obtaining the next Covid vaccine has spurred many threads about medical tourism and burner phones.

@ai6yr @_L1vY_ If I had a choice of ex-heroin addicts to run the CDC, it would be Keith Richards or Anthony Bourdain.

Local SLC canyons w/ski areas have traction laws that require special winter tires based on conditions. Tread pattern & soft compound rubber. Three peaks, snowflake, M+S are required, studded or chains. On a clear day anything can drive up.

@dalias @vivtek @Remittancegirl Agree

@vivtek @dalias @Remittancegirl Read that ICE has list of those with gun permits. There are no permits needed in many states. Maybe they have purchase records as well? I am surprised that they haven’t kicked in the wrong door yet.

Bonus points for showing up at Home Depot with a bus & hiring everyone, lunch and paying work.

@selzero I’ve been asked, “are you a medical professional?” a couple times recently, 3 scans lump is benign. Replied, “No, Grey’s Anatomy was on bookshelf at home in 6th grade & Scientific American arrived monthly in 1961.”

@andrewstroehlein Margret Meade dated civilization’s beginning by a fossil of a healed broken leg.

@bmacDonald94 Apple’s AI has zero ability help with the contents of the new M4 computer it runs on. I was hoping for an improved version Unix ‘glimpse’.
