    JFC NY Times, you're just noticing his decline now?. It's been self-evident for years.

    Stuff like this has a real 'whistling past the graveyard' quality to it.

    I'm sure it's catnip to his base, but man, does it ever have the possibility of coming back to haunt him if she keeps building momentum at this rate.

    News like this makes me wonder if David Bowie finally reincarnated somewhere on Earth. Everything went to shit in 2016 after he left for his home planet.

    While I wouldn't say that's right, I also wouldn't come right out and call it wrong either. This very much engages with the "Selfish Gene", an heuristic model of thinking about evolution from the perspective of the gene itself instead of populations.

    As an added amusement, the book "The Selfish Gene" came out in 1976, and is the source of the word "meme," used somewhat differently than it is now, naturally.

    Haha, I've been using old.lemmy.world for so long I'd forgotten I even had the Space Needle profile on my account. Was truly puzzled for a minute.

    "How do they know I'm in Seattle? Oh, yeah."

    Supreme Court allows cities to ban homeless people sleeping outside, even when shelter space is lacking
  • PNW_Doug PNW_Doug 4mo ago 88%

    You can predict the outcome of this court's decisions with two questions:
    A: Will it cause chaos?

    B: Is it cruel?

    They seem to feel it's bonus points if the answer to both is yes.

    Thanks! You can’t hear it, but I squee like a little kid in my head every time someone says they like it.

    Because that’s what this bike is designed for as a low-trail bike. It’s biased to handle weight on the front. Even fully loaded with two panniers it handles completely neutral. It’s almost unnerving how normal it feels. More stability climbing passes too is also nice bonus.

    I’ve toured with both this and a more standard four pannier setup and this one is far better, IMO.

    Bike’s a bit dirty, but that’s inevitable when you commute in our rainy winters.

    US and UK back Canada in dispute with India over diplomats

    This really rises to one of 2023's oddest stories. I mean, I don't even have a square for "Indian-Canadian Cold War" on my 2023 bingo card.

  • First Day in the UK, tested the most casual thing I could think about. Your English Breakfast is awesome!
  • PNW_Doug PNW_Doug 1y ago 83%

    The differences between the classic American and English breakfasts are one of those things that make travel between the two countries so pleasing, at least for me.

    Different enough from one another to feel mildly exotic, yet similar enough to make you feel (mostly) at home.

    Did wonder while I was over there ages ago why no one had shown them you can fry green tomatoes too for a bit of variety. Searing a ripe one just kinda makes a mess, lol.

  • Salish Sea human foot discoveries - Since 2007, at least 20 detached human feet have been found on the coasts of the Salish Sea in Canada and US
  • PNW_Doug PNW_Doug 1y ago 100%

    This is sadly most likely stowaways that either fell off ships, or more horrifyingly, have been possibly tossed overboard after being discovered by crew.

    The feet, being encased in a floatable material — shoes — eventually detach and float to shore.
