New AAA study showing more people in fatal WA crashes had marijuana in their systems: http://www.edmunds.com/car-news/fatal-crashes-involving-marijuana-in-washington-double-after-legalization-study-says.html
AAA itself is being pretty reasonable with not jumping to conclusions, but on its face, doesn't sound good for legalization.

I wonder if marijuana consumption broadly went up after legalization, and whether that had a significant effect?

Damming the Colorado river required a little bit more than what could be considered basic technology, imo.

Imagine if instead of Peak Oil, it was Peak Water. The US Southwest would be fuuuuucked.
The book Water Knife goes into some cool what ifs about that scenario, where the concept of water passing through different territories leads to a ton of weird law and loopholes, including one state bombing another's dam because its water needs outweighed the political consequences. Pretty good near future dystopia, decent action.

In my tech company community, we're not worried about long term retention, as turnover is probably 2-4 years. The product changes all the time, the market changes all the time. It's fine for someone to be mercenary and just work a short stretch as long as they're effective throughout. When I've interviewed older engineers (like 50 and above), the two things that are the biggest negatives is if they've not kept up with new technologies and if they seem extremely different from overall company culture. Of those two things, the latter is definitely a true form of ageism. Even now, there's a rift at above 30 vs below 30.

Im about to turn 33 and starting over makes me feel like a colossal loser. I'm competing with (and losing to) candidates 10 years younger than me who are fresh out of school and internships with a lot of inertia. It's completely unnerving. When I apply and do info interviews I get a lot of "why are you here?" vibe.

The image behind his link is even scarier. Someone put a lot of weird thought into that.

I like how all the anatomy is analogous to humans, except the clitoris, which has been reengineered to be bigger and easier to hit. :gonk:

A lot of cheap jeans don't stretch, which I need for riding bikes. If I get non stretch jeans that fit my thighs, then the leg openings are too loose and catch on the chainring.

Any recommendations? I'm buying new jeans every 6 months to fit my thighs, getting annoying.

Not at the moment. There was a Kickstarter brand that I went with and was really happy with despite the price, but they've since gone to button flys, which is ridiculous.

I can't really recommend Calvin Klein Rockers, cuz they're very thin fabric and very skinny despite being stretch.

Have I lost what remains of my mind or is "I never have to change my engine oil because it leaks/burns so much lol" now being advertised as a design feature?

Yeah, the writing on that page is weird. You'd think someone who's conscientious enough to think about changing the oil would also care about oil consumption rates.
Maybe it's like Check 50 Times And Just Add Once.

The Autodromo watches are pretty cool I guess and they intersect with AI nicely.

The one the founder was wearing on Petrolicious looks good, but the stuff they actually sell seems tacky and cheap.

I've spent literally millions of hours sifting through watch designs and the only one I liked was a cheap rear end Seiko 5. All the Swiss stuff now is too gaudy and huge in my opinion. I want a watch on my wrist, not a dinner plate.

The price is still very tempting. Curious how bidding'll be in the last couple hours of the auction:

Did you point out that your being white probably helps more? Just assuming you're white.
