Prohibit ALL public burnings of books? Ok I think it’s stupid, but whatever.

I’m OK with prohibited public burnings for the purpose of fire safety, I guess. Beyond that, I don’t think I’d want to limit free speech in this manner.

More than that now, actually. There are two just in Colorado Springs and a bunch up in Denver Metro.

They never really acknowledged it was here. I live near one of the Colorado locations and it has been (in)famous for COVID outbreaks the entire pandemic. And, for whatever obvious reasons, In-N-Out hasn’t had the same closures enforced on them that every other restaurant did. During an outbreak they’re supposed to close for a few days in our state, but they’re basically the only restaurant that has refused to close and has never faced repercussions out here. It’s maddening.

More research is emerging that gas stoves kick off carcinogens and are, in the US at least, often poorly ventilated.

I just put an 85" in my basement. That thing is annoying enough that it can stay with the house if/when I move. A 98" TV seems like it would be impossible to get down the same flight of stairs. If I upgrade again in this house it will 100% be a projector.

This is so frustratingly common. I worked for a company I loved and it got bought out by a company I hated. When people (including me) started quitting, the CTO said “but why? We have video games in the break room.”

Large companies are often run by crazy people, I guess.

A whole lot of Americans who don’t work from home look like that today :/

That would be the “dystopia” part.

Haven’t really used spinning disks for anything but my home NAS since 2010 or so. Which means all my old drives come out of the NAS… And either get cycled into my backup NAS or put into a multi-disk jbod enclosure that I use as “scratch” space for random data projects I’m doing on the side.

Ones that cycle out of scratch space are wiped and, if I’m being honest, sitting in a stack in my storage room. I really should stop procrastinating a trip to the recyclers…
