@ebooksyearn had this on an old acoustic bike and eventually the crank arm fell off while riding. Put it back on with some loctite and cranked it down super hard and... happened again. I think I put it back on with EVEN more loctite and cranked it down EVEN harder, and that fixed it
@wvistheduck the fake social justice is eating itself gahhh. You'd think it would break at some point but for some reason it just keeps going
@danluvsbeer NYT and Atlantic seem to be sliding Right. I love local stuff but don't spend :( I also think there's cool super niche journalism efforts with super high dollar subscriptions like Palladium Magazine (also don't subscribe) that might be worth paying for. For those ones in particular you know your dollars are definitely crucial to the operations/people's jobs. NYT will keep on going even if people unsubscribe
@peter this direction definitely feels like the future, wonder if it will prompt Apple to do something similar
@LhasaCM I gotcha. Sounds like they can definitely do better and would probably be more effective if they were more broadly collaborative with the "existing neighborhood"
@Will lol. Love that concept
@Will never heard of Dark Forest theory, really cool! I am more biased towards the assumption that trade would lead to a very dark and grim Real Politik among civilizations. If a civilization can eradicate another to take what they need, they will. Except, it's probably better to subjugate for the labor! So at worst you'd have enslavement/subjugation for resource extraction. If a civ can't subjugate through might, then they'd trade at arm's length

@LhasaCM that makes total sense. I had no idea EYA was a set of communities in the area (EYA = developer?). I lived in an HOA like that in SW for awhile. Just a single building, but still, very similar attitude to things going on nearby.

it's a really shitty way to try to solve the problem. Are you implying maybe the EYA community should be partnering the existing neighorhood and city, MPD, etc, to solve for everyone? That's where my mind goes as the better option anyway

@LhasaCM what do you mean by "EYA's plan," "longstanding issues," and "existing neighborhood"? And is there an implication that the existing neighborhood doesn't share the same perspective on the recent rapid increase in crime?
@peter great thread, definitely one of the main issues of our time since this just amps up disinformation by orders of magnitude
