I'm kind of enjoying the smaller community size. Unlike reddit where I'd come across a post that I have something interesting to say about and see there are already 27,481 comments.

Thought of a couple more. Unexplainable podcast from Vox has a lot of really interesting tech stuff & futurism. Not as much news as conceptual explorations.

I've always liked Ezra Klien's podcast too. A lot of the episodes are just politics & societal stuff but he does a lot of episodes on tech & automation and it's impact on humanity. A lot of AI-related content lately.

Absolutely right. There are no good billionaires imo

At this point, only if it is required, and it almost never is. No bad feelings at all towards people who do wear them. I'm not personally concerned about it, and nobody in my family is high risk, so I decided early on that I'd just follow local rules and CDC guidelines. CDC website currently only recommends masks if you may have been exposed so that's what I've been doing.

This. The only reason I have a tesla is the supercharger network. There is simply no argument for any other car brand if you are only considering full electric. I hate Elon as much as the next guy but that won't change my mind about buying a car from him. I'd be a real fuckin idiot if I made financial decisions to spite a billionaire who doesn't even know I exist and never will.

That said, once the Ford transition to NACS is complete in 2025(?) I'll definitely ditch Tesla. As a union worker myself I'd prefer to drive a union-built car, and as a bonus it would be nice to not have people assume I'm an Elon fan just because I drive a car made by a company he works at part-time.
