The measurable benefits seem good and I wouldn't suggest ending the program, but I do wonder with schemes like this how many fewer Mercedes, BMWs, and Land Rovers are in the city vs. Hondas, Toyotas, and Kias.

Maybe I am just a cynic but the statement about "...supporters were those who drove into the central business district the most frequently" carries a subtext that "now that the f'in poors are out of the way I can get where I'm going quickly!"

They have a name for it: Dead Sea Effect.

They did call her the "Queen of Mean." She was an unrepentant asshole in her own time.

I wrote a program to figure out what day of the week this landed on (assuming it is in fact October 2nd, 151441).

It's a Saturday.

Real downer on the start of the weekend.

That kid in the middle looks harrowed; like every day is an endurance test.

"Hey, listen, motherfucker!"

I have several Tampermonkey scripts to keep Youtube useable:

Additionally uBlock, and a plugin to alter the number of results per row (so I don't wind up with gigantic tiles/icons on a large monitor).

It's a complete disaster without these. :/

The worst is when they phrase the response as if there was just some slight, funny misunderstanding on the part of the machine; "Sorry, I didn't quite catch that! Did you want to..."

For some reason that one really drives my ire.

Man I miss land yachts. Modern luxury brands / models are all built as "luxury performance;" no one builds a rolling sofa anymore and that is a disappointment.

According to this, Texas has ~7% of their prison population in private facilities. The national rate is ~8%.

I had one recently that (when changing / creating the password) would allow you paste into the "new password" field but not the "confirm password" field. Super annoying.

I just opened dev tools, pasted it into the "value" property for the control, and kept on truckin'. Just nuts that had to be done though.

This is why I gave up trying to run my own email server. It became clear it was turning into a racket quite a while ago. I would hear from someone that they didn't receive an email, so I'd check with their provider and sure enough I'd been blackholed.

I'd go through all the steps to clear everything, re-send the message and it would go. Send a second message and my server was instantly blackholed again for "spamming" or "suspected open relay" or some other reason. All the "Big Guys" as you call them of course carved out exceptions for each other, but no matter how many security signatures or other measures I implemented it was basically an instant lockout.

It got to the point where I was forced to sign on with a "Big" provider for routing.
