"...she thought she would have to work during the time the meeting was scheduled. She works at a school in the Palisades. Her school burned down. So had her sister’s house. I saw my neighbor right before we left. I told her I would be back on Friday. I had a flashback to my last day in the VICE office in March 2020, when they sent us home for COVID. I told everyone I would see them in a week or two. Some of those people I never saw again."

Another #Tesla recall.
"Tesla issued a recall for over 200,000 electric vehicles due to an issue with its latest computer hardware that can short circuit and disable some safety features including the rearview camera.
Tesla submitted the recall on January 6th, which acknowledges faulty computers are in some of the most recent builds of Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X vehicles."

// How many software bugs have caused recalls for Teslas so far? Seems like a lot.

(It's always a good time for indoor cats because they eat endangered wild birds.)

It might be a good time to start keeping cats indoors, since bird flu is killing big cats in zoos now.

The worst idea lately: Force the US gov to bail out bitcoin liquidity, at the top of the market and upward.
Not only is this theft, but it proves Bitcoin has no intrinsic value as a currency or as a decentralized anything free of governmental control.
Owners learned the hard way that it's not anonymous and it's clearly mainly used for money laundering.
Don't let them take down the world economy with this nonsense. Make some noise in Congress.

The amazing HandBrake is available for macOS, Windows, and linux.

It sounds complicated, but you just drag your video to the icon, choose the output resolution and press the button, then your video is saved to a file a fraction of the size of the original .mov or .mp4. I usually use "fast 1080p30" for example. There are also presets for maximum 25MB videos for web use and more.

Salmon returned a month after dam removal.
The "dams only produced...enough to power about 70,000 homes. They also didn’t provide irrigation, drinking water or flood control, according to Klamath River Renewal Corporation."
"The Klamath River’s headwaters lie on the tribe’s homelands in Oregon, and members once depended on salmon for 25% of their food. But for more than a century their waters have not held any salmon"
