What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?
A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.
Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.
How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?
@LovesTha@ajsadauskas@fuck_cars
Out here in rural Downtown Brooklyn we're gonna need a little extra time to get to a university, sports arena, or mall.
Or maybe Google just thinks I walk slow.
15 minutes isn't much time. I mean it probably takes a minute or two just to put on my coat and make sure I have my keys.
@dbrand666@ajsadauskas@fuck_cars Checking with google I was mentally including things that are 20m away. (actually the second primary school is 30m walk)
But I'm happy to be a bit flexible with the 15m time. The longer distances are probably where jumping on a bike makes sense.

It's from the early days of Greatest Gen, and references Captain DeSoto of the USS Hood (NCC-1703). DeSoto and the Hood made several appearances in TNG, and Ben and Adam leaned into his chill vibes, theorizing that the Hood would be a great place to work.
It's also an allusion to the phrase Friend of Dorothy, an older euphemism for LGBT people.
I think it was originally jokingly conceived as a sort of passphrase or shibboleth for fans of the pod to identify each other without revealing their embarrassing enthusiasm to outsiders, e.g.
People's right to their own personal joys ends at everyone else's right to safety and not being killed on the road (especially as a pedestrian, like you wouldn't be able to see shit in this thing).
Drive it only on private property and transport it in suitable truck? Fine
You literally just ignored what I said. Also, CP can literally be found on the regular internet for free, it’s one of the reasons 8chan originally got shut down.
value of my currency changing significantly like crypto does
XMR is a stable coin, also that’s a lie because inflation.
HODL on brother
No thanks. XMR is a currency, not a stock. I do not support shit like DOGE for instance because it has no utility, XMR has a utility.
If you think that the total invasion of your privacy through digital means is a conspiracy, we cannot further continue this conversation. Your phone is literally a tracking device that is listening and pinging your location 24/7, your smart home devices are all listening to try and figure out what you are willing to buy to conglomerate data together and sell it to literally anyone who will buy it.
Again, sorry you have a hate fetish against XMR but like I said, that’s your choice. I’ll continue to use XMR for anything I can because it is a mission I believe in. If I genuinely thought it was a sham, I wouldn’t use it.
"We are going to put Satanic chaplains in Florida schools, nothing in the bill places limits on who can become a chaplain, and Ron DeSantis can not simply amend the Constitution limiting the religious liberty of some by proclamation from the podium. "
IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE SUPERNATURAL, HOW IS TST A RELIGION?
The idea that religion belongs to supernaturalists is ignorant, backward, and offensive. The metaphorical Satanic construct is no more arbitrary to us than are the deeply held beliefs that we actively advocate. Are we supposed to believe that those who pledge submission to an ethereal supernatural deity hold to their values more deeply than we? Are we supposed to concede that only the superstitious are rightful recipients of religious exemption and privilege? Satanism provides all that a religion should be without a compulsory attachment to untenable items of faith-based belief. It provides a narrative structure by which we contextualize our lives and works. It also provides a body of symbolism and religious practice — a sense of identity, culture, community, and shared values.
If you want to compare and contrast TST and the Church of Satan, there's an excellent in-depth article here.
Neither one worships Satan. They are both religions. However, their values are very different.
I did not mean to imply that. While their main goal seems to be religious freedom, they seem to have a moral code consistent with other major religions. It’s not just that they’re not evil, but seem to believe in the same good
I read them recently - mostly it's the same stuff as in the canon gospels tbh. Some have more of a Buhdist slant (Jesus isn't God but we're all god style) but nothing out there.
It's hard to use any kind of auto exposure for something like that. Only spot highlight metering has much chance, but most photographers would use manual.
There are manual options for phones, but most phones don't have a long enough telephoto lens option to get good eclipse photos.
Yeah, I suspected I could fiddle with some settings to get a better result but didn't want to spend the few minutes I had fucking around on my phone instead of experiencing the moment.
At least I can mope around at home with Covid in my newly finished sweater. It has a little lid for my watch because I might need a watch again sometime in the future 🙃

During a presentation by an executive with Google’s Israel branch on Monday, a Google Cloud engineer stood up and shouted, “I refuse to build technology that powers genocide or surveillance.” They were later fired.
I absolutely understand the sentiment of that engineer, but I also understand why they were fired. Maybe they wanted to get fired to make their point, but if they didn't, yelling at an executive during a meeting is always a good way to get yourself fired no matter what that executive is saying.
So while I don't want anyone building such technology either, I hope that person knew the consequences they were facing.
Fair enough. That hasn't been my experience for the last almost 2 years. Teams in our org have been told that if they lose people they can't hire replacements. Shit's sucked
I've also been hearing about massive layoffs at tons of the biggest companies. I'd be surprised if they were still hiring, obviously.
