  • One of the differences between the right and the left, you just made me realize, is how we treat heroes.

    Kyle murders two protestors and he’s a hero. He can fuck it up, but that’s all it takes to get there.

    If a left leaning person became a hero for rescuing cats out of a house fire, you’d have a hundred reporters digging up dirt about how he cuts in line at Starbucks, or an ex coworker thought his obsession with cute animal butts was a little creepy.

    I’m minimizing. People who do good things sometimes have done real shit but I don’t want to sidetrack. Point is, the right elevates their heroes while the left humanizes them. It’s not just a different playing field, it’s a whole other sport.









  • I love in a suburb of a Midwestern state capital.

    Here are my walking distances: (I’ll do my best to convert distances)

    • To the nearest convenience store: 3.2km
    • To the nearest chain supermarket: 4km
    • To the bus stop: 2.75km
    • To the nearest park: 1.5km (it’s a pretty decent park with a swimming/fishing pond)
    • To the nearest big supermarket: 12km
    • To the nearest library: 2.4km
    • To the nearest train station: 10km (this isn’t a commuter line, but a long distance city to city line). This is also where intracity buses are boarded.
    • To State Capitol: 13 km

    Of all of these, only the walk to the Capitol is shorter than the drive (by about 1.5km) due to walking paths. I’ve never walked it all in one go, but I have walked both halves of the trail.


  • I don’t think I would agree that just because something is public that it’s a public forum. I feel like the public has to own it as well. I looked it up and maybe it’s because I predate social media by rather a lot, but I think of it in the classical sense:

    Public forums are typically categorized into three types:

    1. Traditional Public Forums: Long-established spaces like parks or sidewalks, where people have historically exercised their rights to free speech and assembly.
    2. Designated Public Forums: Areas that the government intentionally opens up for public expression, such as town halls or school meeting rooms.
    3. Limited Public Forums: Spaces opened for specific types of discussions or activities but with certain restrictions on the subject matter or participants.

    The important factor being public ownership of the forum. I will concede that it has colloquially come to include public social media, but I think it’s important to distinguish that it’s not really the same thing at all as has been discussed through most of our history.

    Food for thought. I just think calling them public forums attaches too much importance to a profit seeking endeavor.





  • I asked ChatGPT for a tldr because same. The result reads like ad copy. Idk, man.


    The memory packaging market is evolving with advancements like flip-chip, wire-bond, and through-silicon via (TSV) technologies. These innovations enable smaller, more powerful, and faster devices, particularly in smartphones, where efficient space use is crucial for sleek designs. DRAM, while still used in PCs, faces declining adoption due to its complexity and the rise of alternatives like 3D TSV, which offer better functionality. The APAC region, especially China, is leading the growth in memory packaging, driven by investments in assembly infrastructure and rising demand for mobile applications using system-in-package (SiP) technologies.
