I built https://maphoto.app/ . Is a simple tool that allows you to add a mini-map on your picture. I used python and expressjs.
Love this, but is it just me or can it not read the location data embedded in images?

I've done this twice and I'm still jealous! And yeah, not many people you tell can see the appeal. On the other hand, train!

This wasn't true many years ago. Is this a recent change? Maybe Covid related to keep the amount of contacts down?
Also if you're in coach, you can still reserve a spot in the dining car and pay for your meal (or at least you could). I did that a few times over the course of a trip. Lots of weird characters in coach, for better and for worse. But at least you know why the train is stopped in a crossing to let Amtrak police board, or who the FBI agents are looking for.
I'd describe taking the train as like a condensed driving trip. If you've got a few days to spare getting to your destination, but not the month required for a full cross country road trip, it's definitely worth doing!
It still isn't true when I took Amtrak back in August. Maybe it's just that one route, or that the train was sold out?

If you are a Street View fan, check out GeoGuessr, a game where you try to guess the location of a Street View. Some pros on YouTube can guess with scary accuracy.

Poorer households are actually the majority of users in Los Angeles [1].
I suspect this isn't the case in many other American cities, because
a. Transit is a luxury good, raising prices and gentrifying an area
b. Transit is the easiest to build to close places (from the CBD), which are often rich
c. Poorer communities just aren't a priority for most cities, at least not until recently.
Anecdotally, in Europe the modal split is probably more even.

Rocket League runs great with proton, and in my testing, it ran better than the native version when it was still available.
I am aware of that. But I didn't buy a proton version, I bought a Linux version.

I can't speak generally, but I bought rocket-league on steam, and I still play it online, multiplayer, on steam, with steam friends or epic friends.
No longer if you were playing on Linux

The thing is – nobody cares!
People can scream bloody murder till the cows come home, but Tesla for all its faults is king of the hill - literally more valuable the rest of the car industry combined. Musk is the invincible and irrespective of any shortcomings he's literally the richest person on Earth.
Tesla's approach is demonstrably the best approach in the court of the customer, irrespective of what we (others on the road) think or are put at risk.

What kind of neighbourhood isn’t safe for an 8 year old to walk 800m? This makes me sad.
The neighborhood was safe, but the cop made the strawman argument that the kid could've been kidnapped for a sex trafficking Ring Downtown
