    I'm surprised that cassettes beat vinyl. Well, there are two ways to read the graph, and in one of them cassettes beat vinyl.

    Happy Easter! It’s a real message, too. [image: 1775398555803-7f747681-8af1-4639-8d0b-d22157bb81a3-image.jpeg]

    @jon-nyc said: From a new Finnish study. https://x.com/suzylebo/status/2040485163252031698?s=46 This is nothing new. Peterson laid it out quite well over a decade ago. Gender Dysphoria is not the root cause , it’s a symptom. The fact that in over 90% of the cases it actually resolves itself through puberty tells you everything you need to know…

    The Bangkok international airport (BKK) officially sucks. Very spread out, very hot, thousands of shops but few restaurants where you can sit down and be served. Also they block off the gates until right before boarding so you sit in these hot public areas with no chargers. And it looks pretty new, so it seems to be intentional.

    Kidding, I have no idea. I do know the moon apparently has a shitload of Helium 3 which would be awesome to have for clean fuel, energy, quantum this, Crysis at 120 fps, etc.

    @89th said: You wonder what Vance's wife says in private. She has a remarkable poker face, but you know she is DYING inside for the sake of her husband's potential career. I would not be so sure. It's not uncommon for a wife to be supportive of her husband's career aspirations.

    I use Gemini (aka TARS) on a 2nd vertical monitor at work. I mostly type in questions such as figuring out the best technical query or advice on how to integrate 2 systems. So it's mostly a powerful search engine with pretty good answers by default. I also use it to generate an image here and there, such as for a corporate blog I manage each week.
