The Drone flights vs car break-ins chart in this article is fascinating: It shows a sharply declining rate of car break-ins, and then, as drone flights are introduced later in 2024, the rate of decline slows.
And "The SFPD increased patrols in bipping hot spots like Fisherman’s Wharf starting in 2023. Cops also started using bait cars and building cases against major bipping gangs. " And that correlates with the fastest rate of decline - good, old fashioned policing.

Car break-ins, long a symbol of dysfunction in San Francisco, have fallen precipitously in recent years. Surveillance technology is partly to thank.

Gaza Verified verifies, through video calls, that people are from Gaza and facing genocide.

Because the rest of the world has failed in its moral duty to stop Israel’s ongoing genocide and help them.

How do billionaires accumulate so much wealth?
Much if not most of their wealth is held in stocks and is taxed differently than income.
Consider Mark Zuckerberg. Between 2013 and 2019, his fortune increased by 368 percent,

During that period, his declared income

Just got my Pebble Time 2 and it's great! I'm trying to figure out if I can switch to a timer app on it for my HIIT workout, but my needs are...somewhat strange.
In addition to the normal HIIT stuff ("on" and "rest" periods), I like to target a number of reps for each exercise. I pace myself by using essentially sub-intervals (5 reps in 10 secs, for example), so I'd like vibration cues for those sub-intervals (and those vary by exercise).

I’ve been using this rolling cart for years. It‘s a mobile work space for small projects. I load the middle shelf with tools and parts, and roll it to the job site.

When not used for projects, top shelf is extra laundry folding space.

Just finished "Salvage" by Renée Nault. I'm a sucker for romances in general and for characters like these, so I enjoyed it a lot, even though I wish works like this would actually address the structural issues they bring up more thoroughly. I tend to think about the messages of a work in terms of counterfactuals. For example, how would this story play out of Paolo hadn't been a good artist, or hadn't been so likeable, etc.
Also: how do the wealth differences play out in the end? Paolo & his family might escape poverty by association, but where I their community does these line get drawn and the rest get left behind? The natural true "good ending" for all these cross-class romances is an anarchist revolution, but so rarely do we get to see that... The alternative is to believe that only some of the lower class deserve being saved because of their virtues, which ends up being a toxic and regressive message.
To be fair, I think Nault pulls off an above-average landing for this trope, and her illustrations of the lower-class communities and their own richness are hopeful. I just always find myself wanting more.
All of that aside, Nault's art is truly wonderful, especially her use of color and the way she uses it consistently to emphasize thematic elements. It's a really beautiful graphic novel.
