I did recently discover you can turn off "Web and App Activity" for your Google account, which seems to disable Google saving most of your data (searches, viewed places, etc), for what that's worth. It definitely cripples Google maps even more than I think it should, since now I can't even search for labels I've added to Google maps myself.

I've been meaning to try Organic Maps as well, but haven't even gotten around to installing it yet.

  1. Android has motion photos, which i think is on by default and is more or less the same as live photos.
  2. This is just a coincidence, I know Apple maps is good these days, but just the other day my friend was using Apple maps to guide us and it hallucinated a restaurant wholesale. Like, this location for this restaurant has never existed as far as we can tell.

I also prefer the cold myself, but you know it gets much colder than 0°F in lots of places right?

I know what you mean, but yeah, in the Midwest I've been seeing more and more semis camping the left lane all the time. It's gotten really bad for my road trips.

It's interesting you say that, cause in the last few years I've noticed more and more trucks that never exit the left lane. They can be the only vehicle on the road for a few hundred feet in either direction but they'll still sit in the left, even when a car caravan catches up and is forced to pass them on the right.

It's honestly the most egregious in a few sections of highway I drive where there are "Left lane js for passing only" signs every few hundred feet (literally every 10-20 seconds driving).

From the article it sounds like in an interview they accused the governor of embezzlement, which is an actual crime. I'm not a lawyer or anything close to it, but my understanding is that the (now former) governor could have good grounds to sue for defamation, since he was not convicted of defamation at that time. It's like why newsrooms can't call someone a murderer or rapist until they're convicted.

Congratulations, you've killed all political participation.

The Forest is a good multiplayer survival crafting game, with a pretty cool story. The sequel is also already out I think.

Like how Marvel writers lately keep saying they're getting hate for writing strong female leads, when really they're getting hate for writing idiotic Mary Sue's.

I live in DFW right now. I'll admit i don't commute through downtown proper daily, but even when i do go through downtown after work it's bad, but not nearly as bad as plenty of other places in thr US.

15-45 minutes... I'm not exactly knowledgeable about pizza delivery logistics, so forgive me if I'm wrong about specifics. There was a decade or so where every chain promised delivery in 30 minutes or the pizza was free, but that's no longer a guarantee these days.

Pizza delivery has electronically heated insulated containers for the drivers to keep the pizza in during the drive. Generally I think they group up orders so one delivery driver will hit up maybe 10-20 deliveries in that one run. It's normally not driving 20 miles just to deliver one pizza.
