"Grocery store tourism is the practice of visiting local grocery stores while traveling as a way to experience a destination's everyday culture rather than just its tourist attractions."

I got it from this RAND survey. https://glp1newsnow.substack.com/p/how-many-americans-are-ac...

12% of the adult population. I think it's a good theory.

That review is hilarious.

"To summarise, then: George Orwell in 1984 was, in my opinion, engaging in a private feud with Stalinism, rather that attempting to forecast the future."

He really got it!

And shows how fundamentally Asimov misunderstands how totalitarian societies work. "Furthermore, he has a system of volunteer spies in which children report on their parents, and neighbours on each other. This cannot possibly work well since eventually everyone reports everyone else and it all has to be abandoned"

Haha you can tell I listen to a lot history podcasts. I won't fix it.

Well at least we can filter out the Jeffrey of Monmouth's though.

California is not a great place to build data centers. If you need to service CA, there are better options

History doesn't stop. Majority Muslim states in Europe might have different priorities.

How does this change affect food waste by consumers?

I remember the good ole days when the White House would coordinate with former employees that got jobs with SV companies in their "online safety" orgs and would just ban or shadowban people. Less legally suspect because it was action by private companies.

She claims that the post with his name is the one that triggered the visit.

You have to compare Europe to California.

It was released a few days ago.

Well there is a movie coming out.

"An entire generation is growing up now, who hate, dislike or at least distrust the USA."

Same as it always was.

Anyway I put in a request to get a copy at my local library so I will update here in a few months when I have a copy of the book.

Building a facility that uses megawatts of energy in an old farm field in the country, and having long lead times to get it installed, isn't really indicative of "deindustrialization" is it? Also, I don't think building datacenters outside of Columbus are being driven by closeness to an IX. I don't recall seeing Columbus as being significant on any US backbone map. More likely they just want to be close to each other. Someone must have started that ball rolling.

Amazing "By 1825, the majority of Cherokees could read and write in their newly developed orthography.[5]". It even has a reference so it must be true.

Drugs. It's usually drugs.

It's a different type of game on wikipedia.

I'm sure there are plenty of reddit moderators ready to take it up if needed.

But the ribbing or texture serves an actual purpose, so it's not quite skeuomorphic. It's not pure ornamental.

People tried to monetize it too early.

The stated problem is so context dependant that this is borderline useless and quite hostile.

It gets endlessly recycled whenever it's needed for political reasons.

On the surface level there were some political initiatives by various parties to regulate vapes more strictly at the time.

On a deeper level you have several interested parties (vaping companies, tobacco companies, public health interests that get funding for whatever reasons) that stand to lose or gain alot of money depending on how it's regulated.

Or you you might even have politicians looking for donations from the people that are selling vapes or more likely, politicians that are seeing a potential new tax revenue source and our feeling out the level of opposition or support for it.

I don't think the NYTs goes for scare stories for the most part.

Glad they wrote this, but then some people have been reading the "news" like this for decades.

But then you are asking hard questions. Which leaves? Which branch? How do I create a protective legal theory to prevent numerous lawsuits?

Best just to do it randomly to avoid hard decisions and lawsuits.

When brilliance in one area doesn't translate to another.

I don't even think the examples provided are even what most people would call "trust" scenarios. In most of these examples we should have never ever assumed any trust on the other party in the first place.
