my favorite form of design inspiration is a shower.

it works, and i have no idea why. probably something to do with being relaxing and distracting.

ok, i guess i do have an idea why.

i actually think of a bell. sometimes i think of drool.

Obviously, she was Hamas

Oh great, I guess I’m getting Covid this year

Fortunately, there was no thinking until a very long time after that.

Well, not by life indigenous to Earth, anyway.

the surprise isn't that Vance's aide is a Nazi, it's that they managed to keep it quiet so long and that more haven't been outed as Nazis.

Because Tuvok, and the rest of the crew, esp Janeway, lacked anything resembling ethics or scruples.

photoshop. i've used it pretty much daily for 30+ years.

it's my magic wand, and there's just nothing quite like it.

How dare you. That man is a Jedi!

ah, i feel better already

More lanes create more traffic

That’s too bad. Both of those apps could be amazing with a little more thought and effort, esp the Books app. The News app is pretty great with its daily Apple News podcast tie-in (I’ve been listening for years, even through Shanita Bazu’s maternity leave) and their semi-weekly supplement podcast tie-ins, but its potential seems lost in its rather disorganized and haphazard approach. They try to be an alternative to NPR but don’t commit. It’s rather “Apple-y” it how it seems afraid to get more complex and defer to major publishers when it comes to content management. It’s extremely frustrating in how much better they could be if they would just do it goddamnit.

Wrt Books, well, Apple seems to have given up on that long ago. It could have been a Kindle killer, but Apple just seemed to lose interest in perusing that dream as soon as it launched it. wtf?

I’m glad Tim Cook took over after Jobs died, but it’s time for him to step aside. The man has no vision other than dollar signs, and Apple needs someone who can see past the bottom line to lead the company— and there are a lot of people under him who do.

Go to bed

Depends on the specs and the games. Possibly/probably.

It’s good to build nice stations, but hyperstylized stations like this will look weird and dated in 30-40 years.

As for the cost? Don’t be so sure that a station built this way necessarily cost too much more than some dull drum station design. 99% of the cost of underground metro stations is in digging out the thing.

In major metro areas like NYC, many companies pay for employees’ commute or at least subsidize it to some extent.

ALAKAZAM! Suddenly, your MetroNorth/ConnRail/NJT ride is tax deductible.

Oh, that makes sense

the article doesn't explain what laws he's accused of breaking. i'm not defending the person-- i find the lack of detail to be a bit odd.

The overture for Star Trek the motion picture. That’s right. It had an overture.
