@gruber 22 cities in MA have those generational smoking bans, including mine (Somerville). I agree it probably would never fly federally but it’s plausible some states might do it. (And, as a sides note, I’ve been in Paris and London this week and totally floored by the amount of smoking—actual cigarettes, not just vaping!—still happening in both.) https://www.newsweek.com/smoking-ban-u-s-towns-banned-smoking-full-list-11863814

Smoking Ban in US: Full List of 22 Towns That Have Outlawed Cigarettes

The U.K. just banned cigarettes for a generation. But 22 U.S. towns beat them to it—and barely anyone noticed.

I go on vacation to Paris, Tim announces retirement. COINCIDENCE?!

I mean, yes. Exact definition of the word.

It's episode 594: Technical Difficulties!

https://reboundcast.com/episode/594

@dmoren's got mail, thanks to Apple (and no thanks to Claude).

@lexfri is taking big deductions.

And @Moltz has a controversial opinion about dogs.

We also talk Apple legal, whether technology may trigger extinction, and overspending.

A Complicated Profession Apr 11

Your Star Wars pals @dmoren, @TSindelar, and Kat are back with a brand new show: Maul - Shadow Lord (not to be confused with other Mauls, accept no substitutes). We discuss the long strange charisma of this Sith Lord/crime boss/suspect mentor, mixing crime tropes with our sci-fi, and a frankly surprising amount about ska. https://www.theincomparable.com/acp/108/
