I'm willing to bet that if we banned the use of leaf blowers for clearing snow, the ability to travel through urban environments without a car would not be worse than it currently is.

@Vo I think using one in the proper way, on a rink and such, while drunk should get someone punished by their employer but they're not on the road and thus not under the laws of the road.

If they're going down the highway, that's a different story.

The biggest flaw in our modern-day economy is that people are willing to agree to an unjust option because it's the only option instead of just dying and helping the system to correct itself

@jezza Ah yes, very nice

I'm at the point where I just want whatever is simplest and while I have the skills to build/design my own, I don't care enough aside from sharing my writing at this point

@jezza I store/compose the content itself in Obsidian (markdown) and use a plugin there to spit out html files. It's not perfect and I would like to figure out a better process to do the actual publishing stage but it's working well enough for now

The economics of unpayed internships/practicums is wild

@jezza Haha you're right, it really is all about the bottle (and uncorking it, I suppose)

I get why sparkling apple juice is treated as a non-booze fancy drink to feel like champagne. But with all the fancy non-alcoholic drinks that are now more accessible and popular than ever, can that stop?

@mike I don't mind Apple's ethos when they pick what they think is best for everyone and you have no other option.

But this is an example of them changing what they pick and that's rather annoying.

@jezza Aha yes!

@jezza And that is one of the best websites ever built right there!

I always find it interesting in a good way when I look at the websites for small marketing agencies—the kind I which I did subcontracted work for when I was freelancing full time—and see how their websites are old, out of date, or just generally unexciting.

it's like business is good enough that they don't care about their appearance, potentially to a detrimental-to-bringing-in-revenue level. Goals, I guess? But it's weird.
