The Ford Mach-e would like to have a word - it was the first Ford EV. It was available for the first year as a 2021 model, while the Lightning was available as a ‘22. The Mach-e is still available and I think the ‘26 models are already out there.

According to Car and Driver the Mach-e was the 4th most popular EV so far this year (around 42k sold) and the Lightning was the 7th (23k units sold.)

Anecdotally I see a ton of Mach-e on the road where I live, and Lightning too. We got a Mach-e this summer and it has been excellent.

Could you please provide a link to your source? This is a very extreme claim to make without a single citation.

The article (IIRC) doesn’t mention any cases exactly like that, but the general phenomenon seems to be real:

> Workers in several states said they had seen coordinators persuading hospital clinicians to administer morphine, propofol and other drugs to hasten the death of potential donors.

I find it super helpful! I get the emails for both my personal mail box on my street (nice to know if I should check it today or if it’s just junk and I can check it tomorrow or the next day) and for a PO Box.

I am the treasurer for an organization related to my job. We don’t usually get mail and the PO Box is located a few towns over. I rely on the emails to know when I need to visit the PO Box. It saves me gas and time, so I love it. Even if the PO Box was nearby, the emails would still save me time and hassle.

Yea PO boxes absolutely make sense, didn't think of that.

I suspect that it would be quite difficult to control for that, since my understanding is that they specifically use different color combos on each bird in a specific area. This lets the scientists easily ID the bird by sight or in a photo, vs. all silver bands with a stamped code. The latter would require them to re-catch the bird to ID it, defeating the purpose of observing behavior and IDing individuals as it happens. I would also guess that it isn’t really a factor in the birds’ behavior, though.

Yeah, I think this is 100% it but I’m not aware of any standards. I have spent a bit of time watching wildlife ecologists do bird banding at one site and they had a log of all the rings, so they could identify them by sight. Because there are limited color combinations, they segmented by species, sex for some species to make it easier. Common CS algorithms show up everywhere in the real world :)

I wonder if different ecology/conservation groups coordinate their algorithms and databases.

I participated once, but oh my god was it terrifying. The care with which one needs to remove the bird from the net and handle it is unnerving, especially with tiny songbirds. Weighing them is really cute. Massive respect for people who do it day in and day out.

I have a friend who worked on a project here in NZ where he made bird boxes with built in scales. It had a solar panel and a LoRa to get results back to base. It had a series of calculation to work out how much feeding was going on etc. From memory the boxes are on Hauraki Gulf islands - Tiritiri Matangi is one location I think.

You can! I use my garmin a lot to switch songs on my iPhone, change volume, etc.

But like the other commenter said, you can’t reply to notifications or calls when the watch is paired to an iPhone, but you could when paired to an Android, which is a feature I definitely miss from when I had a Pixel.

Edit: it has been found! I’m on mobile and not able to find a better link right now, but here’s an NTSB spokesperson discussing it: https://www.facebook.com/story.php/?id=100064737668850&story...

Sounds like the thing in the woods mentioned below was not the real deal and just some other bit of garbage or something that was dumped in the brush.

Previous comment:

I live in this neighborhood and saw a post on Nextdoor a little bit ago that indicates the door/panel may have been found. The text of the post is as follows: “My husband and I were walking the trail behind the Renaissance Town-homes near Barnes and Valeira View and we saw a large white oval object with a teal stripe on it in the brambles between the creek and Barnes Road. Two others saw it too and they called non-emergency. WCSO and the NTSB showed up but they could not affirm that that is what is was. As my husband said, nobody will know until they walk over to it. Unfortunately the undergrowth prevented us from doing so. We'll see, or not.”

The description of it having a teal stripe could match up with the missing panel, although we obviously can’t be sure yet if it is actually the missing part. I also saw a post from one of the folks who found a phone, and they had included a photo of where they found it, which I recognized to be fairly close to the place where the door was potentially found.

Sometimes we hear stuff on our roof, but it’s always just pinecones falling or a squirrel running around… makes me grateful we haven’t had a Donnie Darko scene in our yard or on our roof!

that ain't it. here on a better source

Disappointed there is no photo of what it looked like when it was found. As in a photo of the door at the place it was found before anyone moved it anywhere.

It's a little strange NTSB would show up but not be able to get to the door(-like object). Seems like a drone could fly over it.

I have a similar thing running using a Zero WH and Inkycal. The screen I have is the same size (7.5 inches) but you can use bigger ones too. I didn’t want to shell out more money initially for a larger screen, but I may upgrade it later.

I am guessing that the slides would swing backwards into a more vertical position if someone were to try to use it, because the bottom wasn’t touching the ground and thus preventing the swinging movement. This would then cause the slide to then be an essentially vertical drop instead.

It means the formality level of text. I think that person was saying that within their family chats, they perceive that using capitals and punctuation makes the messages feel unnecessarily/inappropriately formal.

Yes exactly.

That's the original key mapping, yeah, but it's very easy to change in the software it comes with. I immediately re-mapped it so that the escape key works by itself.

You can change literally any key mapping you like, and do some wild stuff with it. I've got shortcuts for taking different types of screenshots mapped to key combos that are easy to reach, for example, because I take tons of screenshots for work.
