Accurate, if even a bit softer than how it really is.
I never felt unsafe in my west side Chicago community until the Black Hawks started doing daily intimidation runs. Until they abducted community members who were out working one day, gone the next.
I used to push a wagon with side pockets full of bubbles, snacks, and toys. Now there’s fewer toys to make room for gas masks for kids and adults.
Chicago is a tough town. People here are doing an amazing job restraining themselves and others. I’ve heard on more than one occasion people in crowds reminding one another to not give them reason to pull in the Guard.
This will likely not be the case forever.
More people need to see what’s happening here. This is not sustainable; generational harm is being inflicted on those directly targeted and those who seethe with anger and have to explain to kids why their friends aren’t around anymore.
Nearly half of the bill of rights is focused on the rights of criminal defendants. The idea that if somebody commits a crime that the state has unlimited power to use force and violence against that person is anti-american.
Electric car. Horn keeps failing. $15 part, $900 to do the work. Why? Because to get to the horn, the entire front end of the car has to be disassembled, including the hood, bumper, fenders, you name it.
My fuel car’s horn assembly is easily accessed through the engine bay with a single bolt to remove it.
Efficiencies in one area seem to have led to extraordinarily difficult repair abilities elsewhere.
I won’t even go into how the air filters are replaced — but it starts with removing the dashboard…

That's just bad design having nothing to do with EVs. It takes me about 30 seconds to replace cabin filter in a Hyundai Ioniq 5. The horns aren't quite as easy, but certainly do not require removal of the car's front end.
I did as well, but went back to NextDNS after a bunch of stuff broke for me on ControlD. Plus, I really like being able to control log retention and they have a server closer to me.
All the takes on this release miss one crucial point: if you want people to adopt E2E encryption, you must reduce friction. For users of Gmail, that means familiar elements and flow to their usual use of Gmail. If this lets even a handful of people use more secure messaging, it’s a win. For Google workspace-centric orgs it’s a good step in the right direction.
If you disagree, go set up GPG on a non-tech’s computer, tell them they need to use Thunderbird or some other helper app(s), and see if you can even go home before being asked to remove it all.
There's a message encouraging Russian visitors to not support the war in Ukraine. If your antivirus is flagging any Cyrillic text, that's a bit overzealous IMO.
Not sure if sarcastic but it’s a bit premature to assume that’s how it’ll play out. The first part — indiscriminate firings - is underway. Whether anyone left will be capable to do the work that will still be there is yet to be seen.
Just today, there’s this whoopsiedoodle where it seems firings were a bit too indiscriminate and later rescinded. Just like twitter, only at the DoE. Most cool.
This seems less like professional speaking and more like preemptive feelings management.
As a gen-x’er, I find myself having to navigate these waters often as directness is likened to being unnecessarily aggressive, rude, inappropriate, etc.
I would never speak like this and would quickly disabuse others using this style of speech. You’ll do more harm trying to be saccharine than just saying what you mean in an appropriate tone.
