So, thanks to the folks that fucked with my flights today/tomorrow, my obsidian-plugin calendar project now supports event categories applying stylings to events such as "opacity" and "strikethrough" 🫠

Sliver linings in everything, right?

Dear @Ruter, you should maybe... Not let your app purchase two identical tickets in a row within less than sixty seconds of each other. Just a thought.

@mormo_music @Grindr The real impacts are a lot simpler than the hypothetical ones. :)

[Curried Apotheosis @warpfork]

@mormo_music @Grindr But if you *are* part of the *smaller* community...

You can't find others in the group before you hit those distance limits.

For you, this feature is night and day difference.

[Curried Apotheosis @warpfork]

@mormo_music @Grindr Do you use grindr?

It doesn't work like that.

It's a different interaction story contrasted to, say, tinder. There isn't a matching system or swiping.

Meaning that you're not getting funneled into any interaction pipeline where this forces you to lose significant time.

[Curried Apotheosis @warpfork]

@mormo_music @Grindr I think the original explains this pretty well:

It's useful to help members of the smaller community find each other.

It's _not_ very useful to help members of the (vastly!) predominanting community "find" each other any beyond what the default already does.

[Curried Apotheosis @warpfork]

@mormo_music @Grindr I think okay/notokay is probably the wrong and overly boolean framing for this.

One of these is about focusing and cuts out a very large, predominating amount of noise.

The other is about excluding something that's already (relatively) rare.

The practical value is different.

Just saw my first cath/acc and I uh

@davidad Evaluate the hypothesis that the immune system is sapient (but not general-purpose).

@aronchick No David, the critical intervention is that you need a "WAH!" key

@IsaacKing314 Legibility and verifiability of the proposed mechanism for the likelihood makes a world of difference.

@e_considine @nickhedley Nuclear > e.g. coal for many reasons, but adaptative load is one of them, and it pairs well with renewables.

Drop the graphite sleeves: easy, fast shift.
Shovel back out partially burned solids: lol, no.

[Curried Apotheosis @warpfork]

@e_considine @nickhedley IIUC a notable feature of nuclear (vs coal or any other solid burners, especially) is that ramp up and ramp down is very fast and efficient. So it's actually good for handling large load shifts.

California's solar duck curve has gotten deeper every year. Now, there's pretty much zero demand for electricity from the grid during the middle of the day.
