I used to listen to to The Daily pretty frequently but in the past few years, I have become increasingly frustrated with the quality of journalism. I don't know if they have changed or if I've just become more aware. They're definitely not going to any great lengths to afflict the comfortable.

I don't get it. Is Arch the most popular Linux distro at 0.15% of 1.95%? What's missing here? Steam OS?

Curious to know how US residents could possibly go about shutting down the military-industrial complex.

Why do that when you can pull in a hydrological dataset and perform stream network analysis to find the flow path between your points of interest?

My brain will spin out all day if I don't get this off my chest:

  1. It's Esri, not Eris
  2. Wtf is 'interplantaring'?

If you're not going to share the sources of these "studies and sources" or provide a meaningful definition of "excess deaths" then you're asking complete strangers to rely on anecdotal evidence and your own personal judgement. Seems far more irresponsible than sharing an article with multiple public health organizations and medical professionals among it sources.

I thought Stadia was great too! It definitely helped me get through pandemic isolation. And I definitely felt like the controller fit my hands well.

It's evident their taste in design matches their taste in ideology

I can't even comprehend the magnitude of this rate

I came here to say the same thing. How are you supposed to tell the difference between 10.0 and 7.0 or 7.5 or whatever it's supposed to line up with?

Some number of years ago, I was an intern within a department of state government. I was tasked with helping to enrich their databases. So they sent over an Excel file. I did my thing and added new columns, then I had to send it back over to someone within each division so they could do the data entry. To my horror, when I went to visit one of the division heads, I saw their admin sitting at a computer with a printout of my changes sitting on a document holder next to the screen...manually typing geographic coordinates into a data entry form.
