Like sheep. Survey shows that Oregonians are dissatisfied with the current election system (why?) and are intrigued by Ranked Choice Voting (RCV). Don't they know that RCV is just going to get them more Democrats and maybe a few extra crazies, too? That's how RCV works, if you do some thinking about it. It's insidious. Sounds like it might be more fair, but it's a trap.
First Japan's lunar lander lands upside-down. Now Intuitive Machine's Odysseus lands sideways and becomes inoperative. Now their stock is crashing, too.
Oregon's efforts to switch to permanent standard time may not be quite dead. Pfft. We'll still be switching our clocks for a long while more.
Oregon's first ever A.I. bill just requires labeling but does not ban A.I. in political advertising. So you can use misleading imagery that will indelibly be placed in people's minds. No, there should be a ban in generative A.I. in political ads. Period.

Read this opposition to a Right to Repair bill. "...an independent iPhone repair shop is less invested in ensuring that repairs meet Apple’s high standards than Apple itself is". "Hunter Biden’s water-damaged Apple laptop likely would not be in the headlines if he had taken it to the Apple Store for service, instead of an independent repair shop." "If companies are forced to redesign products to comply with mandates, prices will likely rise to cover the additional expenses. Complicated new design requirements could also make devices less intuitive and user-friendly over time."

What blather. I had to chuckle, esp. about the Hunter Biden part.

Why time seems to pass faster as we age. I agree with the notion that the familiar makes things pass faster. When you hike on an unfamiliar trail, the hike out always seems to go faster than the hike in. Unfamiliarity makes each moment pass longer.

Wise decision. Apple is scrapping plans to build an EV to rival Tesla. Focus on your core, Apple. EVs are a fool's pursuit. The general public just doesn't know it yet.

Shin Jedi. This video makes a nice start of a potential storyline. What if Star Wars tech was inserted into ancient Japanese swordsplay? Watch.
