¡Olé!

  • yes, Mexican Spanish uses it that way. there's pretty much no context in which you have to ask someone about where to take a shower, so the distinction is not very necessary. I'm pretty sure I've never once in my life asked where to take a bath or shower.

  • is corpses and the diseased. something that looks almost human but not quite is likely going to get you sick.

    there's a reason why waxy skin that doesn't quite sit on the body correctly sets it off so hard.

  • I'd crank that up to like 80% Linux users somehow always seem to overestimate how tech savvy most people are.

    I'd say 50% of users can't tell you what an operating system is. maybe more. and ya'll expect those people to be able to CHOOSE a Linux distro and actually install it. no way. that's way way too much to ask of the average end user.

  • yeah, many departments still get trained on "stockholm syndrome" despite it being thoroughly debunked and only ever part of pop-psych. in fact, the only "experts" that ever pushed it WERE police training "experts". the whole situation in stockholm was competely misrepresented. the women didn't love the bank robber, they just feared that the actions the police were taking would cost them their lives and thus begged them to do things differently. the police are the ones that locked them in a bank vault with the attacker. this, among a few other misreports by said police, resulted in a media circus about these women falling in love and not wanting to be saved. the idea that the police could be dangerous to these women was inconceivable to the public at the time.

    it was a classic case of the police bungling a rescue and nearly costing multiple innocent lives to try to protect capitol, then ending up causing more damage than the thief was going to steal anyway. the women involved were barely studied after, but it was quickly concluded that the police were wrong about the women and that this syndrome they named was bunk. it was never in the dsm. it was never accepted science. too bad copeganda doesn't care about facts. as i said, this shit is so sold to American police officers to this day.

    there's a great radiolab podcast from around December that talks to the survivors about it. you can go and listen to their side of the story if you want. they were terrified of the attacker the entire time and the police just kept making things worse for them.

  • did it drive like an actual humvee? everyone i know that's been in the military says they were a nightmare to drive on pavement. one of them said a small amount of rain would have them sliding all over the place.

  • the risks have been so incredibly thoroughly tested and found to not exist in a meaningful way. whether you trust science to be able to tell us that is irrelevant. i just wish we had a government that listened to science and data again.

  • Maybe, but apparently we're tariffing multiple uninhabited islands. It would seem that active trade is not a perquisite for tariffs these days. can't be having people move out there and not getting tariffed in the future.

    I hope he puts tariffs on Mars next. Maybe after he falls out with musk.

    Luka likes to bury her face into my hand sometimes. it's the best.

    American White pelicans on a colorado lake (05-17-24)

    stopped by my favorite birding spot after work and had these fellas fly in over my head. guest appearance by a great blue heron.

    shot on sony a7siii with a tamron 150-500. all handheld and after the sun was behind the mountains, so you'll have to excuse some shakiness and focus issues.

    music: creep - original song by Radiohead - performed by scott bradlee's post modern jukebox.

    sometimes night feels more like a dream...

    I'm sick as hell right now and this pulled up right outside my front door last night. stepped out to take a picture because nothing felt real for a moment. then i started coughing and kind of regretted it. worth it?

    like I'm at the exit to silent Hill...

    took this riding into Milwaukee the other day when it was foggy as hell over like a third of the county...
