You REALLY should remove the tracking codes from Youtube links now.

They started showing a popup about who sent the link and offering a (maybe new) DM feature, potentially revealing your personal account name to anyone who opens the link.

screenshot of the youtube app a popup says “sent by …” and lists account name and handle along with two buttons “allow messaging” and “not now”

The cafe menu is good. I had a falafel salad with green goddess dressing that was quite tasty and I tried some of Andrea's croissant which was also quite nice.

I am jealous that the NE Regional trains just got buttercakes on their cafe menu but it's not available on Acela. I've wanted to try one of those!

Providence ➡️ NYC on a new Alstom Avelia trainset.

The seats are not as bad as the foamers online would have you believe! Are they great? No. They are simply okay. Better than coach seating on an airplane that's for sure!

When I played the pokemans, I didn't give my pokemen any "medicine". they didn't need "medicine" when they were hurt. I just fed them a nonstop stream of canned lemonade until they got type-2 diabetes

I don't know why people are always so quick to dismiss animal intelligence as "they're just doing it for food." Like so WHAT so are YOU if you want to be that reductive about it. Why is it hard to acknowledge that an animal that we know can learn to associate speech sounds with meaning and can smell orders of magnitude better than we can would be able to tell different train lines apart and recognize stations from their smell? Plenty of people just get on the train without a destination because there are other people on there who might give them things. Who cares why they go around on the train, its enough that they do.

Everyone is just cheering on this dog who is on its own and taking the train like everyone else. It got off one train, went up the stairs, and got on another. It knows what its doing. You could not interfere with this process, it would be villainous

okay, well i don't really want to go download or build a prerelease compiler to do my first zig code, so i'll go back to familiar territory - height optimized tries.

trust me when i say this is a trial by fire of a language.
