This is awesome textbook induced demand: Reddit /r/bayarea: 101 Commute - is it just me, or has traffic doubled
over the last 3 years??
I moved to Novato in 2023 after living in San Rafael for over a decade. My
work is in SF and I have to arrive by 8am. When I lived in San Rafael, I could leave my
house between 7:20am-7:30am and get to work on time.
My Novato home is just 10 miles north of my former San Rafael home. The first
year I lived here, my commute was about 45 mins to 1 hour each way. Fast forward three
years, and my commute time has doubled to an unsustainable 1.5-2hrs each way. That’s
a
whopping 3-4 hours spent sitting in traffic on the 101 to drive just approx. 26 miles
between my house and my job in SF. It often takes well over an hour just to drive the 10
miles between the DeLong exit in Novato and the Central San Rafael exit. My husband works
in Terra Linda, San Rafael, and his round-trip commute is also at least 2 hours long.
What is going on???

For an investor, crypto tokens are best understood not as currencies but
as gullibility futures.

TL;DR if you wanna tempest some signal off a board but it's too low frequency
to radiate, simply inject your own upconversion carrier by pointing an antenna at the
victim device, and the modulated result radiates.

Watching the AI first organizations relearn every lesson of effective software
engineering has exactly the same energy as the crypto bros learning why banking regulations
are important.

@witchgirls @zzt I mean we learned about this in anti-drug awareness week.
FOMO: "They don't want you to know this, but you can do stuff with PDFs with
this one weird trick."
Intimidation: "Buy ChatGPT tokens, or I will kidnap and starve your dog."
Dominance: "You will use the chatbot, if I see you doing stuff yourself,
you will face me."
Bargaining: "I can quit when I want to. Here, how about this... You write
a prompt to help me for class, and I'll stop after I turn it in."
Hazing: "If you don't write a prompt, you're not getting your pants back.
Use AI or walk home in tighty whiteys."
Bandwagon: "We're all using it, and we're perfectly fine."
Sex Appeal: "Hot guys are prompt engineers. Help me, prompt daddy!"
(I can't believe I just wrote that... prompt daddy. FML.)
Message from Eventbrite: "Good news! More great events await. Discover more new to do." and as I tell people "no" because I just want a day to organize my shop, already, I think about how I am not the target demo here....
