I think it was inside based on this excerpt: “Opening Ghost’s package, purchasers would discover a handy information sheet that today gives us a sense of how some underground purveyors understood and promoted their wares.”

I use the 40 watt “appliance bulb” incandescents that you can still get when feasible - like in my small office. But they only work for certain situations- hard to fully light a room on 40 watt bulbs, but for accent lighting they are great.

I dont think display is transparent, the eyes are an outward facing video of wearers eyes.

Also a core part of Keith Code’s teaching since I think the 70s. Highly recommend his school for any motorcycle rider. https://superbikeschool.com/the-curriculum/

Just attended what I guess was the last conference a couple of weeks ago in SF. Attendance was about 250. It was a solid group of speakers, and yes, front end/ux centric, but not limited to that. Unfortunately I got covid on the trip, and then gave it to my wife and 7 year old, which essentially took us all out for the holiday.

Not sure I follow you, are you suggesting bicyclists should wear motorcycle helmets?

Right - good point. And obviously my larger point is where do you draw the line with mandates? The arguments here are largely about preventing head injuries - so how far is too far?

Maybe so, but auto accidents still result in lots of head injuries even with the existing safety systems.

I'm talking about a bicycle helmet.

According to the CDC, 30% of injury related deaths are TBI-related, and 14% of those TBIs are from car accidents. Why not have mandatory helmets for auto drivers too?

Ticketmaster could have done everyone a huge favor by simply staggering the sales for separate dates a bit and not trying to sell tix for every show all at once.

I once had a business owner put forth a similar contract after they had purchased the company where I was employed for a few years. I refused to sign (I was only one out of 60 or so employees that did so). The "accountant" told me I would never work in California again as all companies were moving in this direction. I'm still employed in CA, however, that company no longer exists. :).

Embody + Aeron and alternate between them. Always amazes me people will spend incredible amounts on a car, but will skimp on something they spend 8+ hours a day sitting in.

Totally anecdotal but I had a friend in the 90s who fell, landed on his bar end, and had to have an emergency appendectomy.
