There’s a divey bar 10m away where people have been watching results the last few years. Might head down there. Pretty sure it’ll be packed.
Alternative is to crawl into bed and wait till January.
Edit: we have a lot of local races (Mayor, City Council, propositions) on the line. Might hit the bar just to watch those and just ignore the national stuff.
There’s no real value to any of it.
Attach free beer to point levels and watch this thing explode.
Yet again, grateful to live in California, where school breakfast and lunches are free to all students. Hands down, best use of my taxes (public libraries are a close #2).
Who the hell is waiting till 10am?
It’s a tough call. Last bit of independence for someone feeling their world getting smaller. Anecdotally, both my father and father-in-law damaged their cars (one hit the highway median after dozing off) and their wives told them they couldn’t afford to replace the cars. Fortunately, nobody got hurt but it could have been a lot worse.
Years ago. Was visiting a client on-site. Meeting ran late and had to race home. Popped into a ‘natural’ food store to get something. Grabbed a package of pre-made ‘fresh’ shrimp spring rolls out of one of those open coolers. Ate in the car.
A 1.5 hour drive turned into a four hour nightmare with all the unplanned stops.
Never again.
Friend of mine used to volunteer for the local chapter of a well-known national non-profit. He tried to explain all the technical benefits of setting up a website, yada yada. The board didn’t care and were bored.
He finally set up a small demo on his own. Just a few screens. Ran a small test. Presented static screenshots, along with charts and stats on viewership and engagements. Had mockups of donation pages, volunteer signup screens, newsletters, etc. That was when people saw the value and got interested.
Nobody cares about decentralized social networks, the technology, or how terrible the other outlets are. For a municipality, you may want to focus on maintaining multiple channels of communications and ways to reach and engage the most users. You could then fold the fediverse into it as one more channel. Something they should keep an eye on. They’ll need a way to post the same content to all those channels with the least effort. Something easy that a trained intern or clerk can do.
Guarantee there will be questions of cost of setup, maintenance, and risks. May want to have some answers and slides ready.
Management would fold in 24 hours if they threatened to withhold Wordle.

There’s also a 50-year anniversary, 12-part, 99% Invisible series diving into it. Looking forward to listening to those alongside each section.

There should be a Shakespeare play with that plot.

So… Hyundai Automotive signed a deal with Hyundai Electric to supply them with electricity.

We did the same the first couple of years and barely any kids came, even though we’re a block away from an elementary school. OTOH, we’re halfway up a hilly area and most of the neighbors are long time residents or retirees. No kids on the block. We just stopped trying.
There’s this one street 5min away where they get a city permit and block both ends of the block so it’s safe for kids to walk in the street. Most of the houses decorate and put out candies. It gets SWARMED! We started taking our own kids there.
Maybe there’s a street like that near you and the kids and their parents just go there.

Saw these cool hi-viz LED harnesses on a runner once. That one had a rainbow changing pattern. Looked very cool in the dark.
Edit: The thin straps were LED and changed color too, as well as the big bulky piece on the chest and back.
1000 charge cycles. If you charge twice a week, that’s 500 weeks or a little less than 10 years. There’s no mention of degradation over time.
But back-of-the-napkin, it means for this to be cost-effective, they may want to come up with some sort of replaceable or battery swap system. Not sure anyone will want to buy a vehicle that needs a massive battery retrofit every 8-10 years.
