I also greatly appreciate getting to see the past few days' history for my location - too many weather sites are only really forward-looking, and I sometimes want to compare to a prior day when the current day feels different somehow.

It has some fun animation options and settings to play with, and there's other dithering algorithms to play with.

This is connecting to another commenter's idea that AI can be sort of a stand-in for journaling.

I see that one for Burnout Paradise is in the works, but I would love one for Burnout Revenge.

Thank you for articulating this!

I'm not Julia, but I'd just like to put down here that this is pretty much my philosophy for public speaking/giving presentations, and I have been trying to instill it in some coworkers who struggle with presentations. It's a great privilege to be able to convey to one's peers and loved ones things that you're (likely) a bit more familiar with than they are and which may help them with some matter.

Supposedly traditional publishing has become more and more conservative (not necessarily politically) with the risks they take on things they publish, so they'd be less likely to push back against widely-held ideas that are outright wrong. They'll really only publish authors with an established following or works that have a large base of interested consumers.

Edit: I just wanted to add that since I've heard these things so much, going to a bookstore like Barnes & Noble feels super weird. The books look nice, but they're all expensive and I have no sense that the selection has been curated for genuine quality or informational content. It's just what happens to being published now.

I greatly prefer the experience of going to thrift stores like Goodwill where the selection is chaotic, there's no real expectation of curation aside from maybe broad categories, and the books are gloriously cheap. You can find great stuff there!

Sounds like they'd only really make sense for surviving in dry environments. But still quite neat!

I'd pretty much grown up believing that that's how the US worked post-slavery (aside from occasional deviances from the rule). Since the start of the pandemic, I've had quite the awakening.
