- alamortsubiteThe Atari BASIC intro is a nice touch.
- You realize it was a Dutch ad, correct?
- Can Comic Sans do all caps?
- I assume you mean people who have immigrated from the Netherlands to the U.S. in the past year? It'd be interesting to hear their thoughts, for sure. I don't think the data is available yet, but I expect those numbers are sharply down, so it might not be easy to find anyone to talk to.
- Have you ever ridden a bike over a canal? The ad was pushed in front of a lot of people who have. I thought it was creepy throughout, but I can't believe they used that clip up front.
- On the other hand, once you're operating under the model of not knowing if anything knows anything, there's really no point in posting about it here, is there?
- So this Friday and next Friday are the same?
- I wonder if #3 is less because nobody cares, but really because the only options at this point are for it to be on or off; there's no way to "fix" it.
I've received so many bizarre suggestions now I treat that section of the search results as more of a curiosity.
- Yes, this essentially describes generation loss ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_loss ).
- The people screaming like children during an emergency fare even worse when told the truth. It's tricky, because as you illustrate, they're incapable of accepting that working toward the benefit of the group in such a situation is the best approach to solving the problem.
In case you didn't understand my point because you don't work in healthcare, PPE for people dealing with the crisis was real fucking slim.
- Early in the pandemic, my girlfriend paid hundreds of dollars for a respirator to use in an emergency at her job at the hospital. It was a basic Honeywell respirator, but one of the few the hospital could approve for her to use. The same respirator costs ~$40 on Amazon today.
I'm an airline brat and have flown millions of miles and been in two emergency landings involving fires. If you're ever in a similar situation, you and everybody around you better hope the crew sticks to protocol rather than worrying about bruising your precious long-term trust.
- Oh The Urbanity! just did a great episode on Victoria, B.C. The city is too small to make this list (pop. ~100K), but the video is worth checking out if you want to feel a little better about the progress of bike infrastructure in N.A. cities:
- My gf is a doctor and rides year-round. In the winter I swap wheels with studded tires onto her bike (it takes a couple minutes). Where there's proper infrastructure, it's far safer to go out on a bike in poor conditions than it is an automobile. Plus you accumulate tremendous health benefits from not being sedentary. I'd work that into your pitch (of course, my gf is lucky to observe this first-hand at work every day, which an attorney might not).
- My take is it's mostly irrelevant, but read the lobsters post mentioned elsewhere.
- Yes, and it doesn't matter if they do read the terms- to the average user they sound totally innocuous, especially placed next to a big shiny "GET 500 FREE COINS" button.
- They're not talking about it because they have the best intentions; the problem isn't this administration, it's market forces.
- I think a better way of looking at it might be that there are plenty of other museums that fit the bill, but the Louvre is no longer one of them.
- It makes so much sense on one level. At the same time, I worry in the long run this could have the effect of trimming the budget for less selfie-worthy exhibits. I love stuff like the Napoleon III apartments.
- Borrow, rent, pay someone else to do it, or throw your hands up in the air when you've tried nothing, are all out of ideas, and fuck the externalities.
