  • I can’t help but doubt that it was actually protesters who did this. LAPD and ICE would have been tripping over themselves at the opportunity to use deadly force against someone committing a felony, and the FBI put someone on the most wanted list over dinging a police vehicle.

    Protesters know that there are surveillance cameras everywhere. Why would they burn a couple of Waymos and do literally nothing about the readily visible cameras literally everywhere around them?

    On the other hand, both ICE and LAPD need the imagery of a city on fire to sell their necessity.





  • The size you describe isn’t small enough to merit being called small. It’s barely below the statistical mean.

    What’s more is that waxers are well aware that growers exist, and (at least in my area) that’s mostly what they see. It wouldn’t even be cause for comment. The kinds of things they even bother telling each other about are like people who want fancy patterns waxed, or who have awful smelling active infections and have to be told to go get treated and come back. Occasionally they might talk about big tough guys who end up weeping like a baby (not just tears in the eyes, but bawling), or when they personally make mistakes.

    At most your aesthetician told her that you got waxed and how she found out there was a connection. If your coworker bothered asking about your size she’d have gotten the usual response of, “who knows? You can never really tell during waxing because pain and fear of pain shrink things.”

    Source: was married to an aesthetician for 10 years.



  • I’m exactly like you’re describing and a little older than you (44). Songs, TV shows, movies, animated series. It’s a trivial feat to make me tear up at pretty much anything someone might consider touching.

    I suppose it’s outside of the statistical norm for our demographic, but I wouldn’t say there’s anything wrong with it. We feel things and we express those feelings when we have them. I’d argue it’s a lot healthier than what the statistical mean of our cohort does.




  • Honestly no idea. It’s funny though. The API allows us to either read it directly from our lakehouse with the 28Kb limit, or allows us to encode it in a json object. It actually recommends using the json method if we want to send larger files… but then complains it’s too large if it’s over 28Kb 🤷‍♂️

    I think it was probably originally only intended to allow attaching icons.


  • Literally just today solved a problem of delivering analytics plots over our internal chat system. The file size limit is 28Kb and I was just getting ready to say screw it, can’t be done.

    Lo and behold our chat system that doesn’t support svg does support webp. Even visually complicated charts come in just below the size limit with webp.








  • A thought for why it may have been easier for you to regularly use your paper journal while not maintaining the digital journal: it may be a matter of visual cuing.

    With the paper journal it sits somewhere that you’ll see it regularly, probably along your route to bed. Seeing the journal may have been your mental cue to write in it, as opposed to simple routine or habit. You don’t get the same kind of cue from a digital journal because even a set reminder is no different from the bevy of notifications your phone gives you throughout the day.

    Something that could help you keep up with your digital journal is to start keeping a physical journal in the same place you kept your old one. Maybe put an NFC tag in it that just launches your digital journal when scanned/tapped. Then you’ll still have that visual cue and habit reaction force to keep you journaling.
