    There are also "public restrooms" in major city places. If need be, you can always enter a shopping mall with their free and mostly clean restrooms. Or you go to big stores and use their customer toilets for a small fee. Sometimes even a restaurant may allow you to use the bathroom if you ask politely. Anyway, it only emphasizes Walt's major point, that public restrooms are a necessity. And a sign of civility, as I would add.

    Oleksandr Mykhed, "Russia is taking my friends one by one – and now I struggle even to write about them" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/sep/23/russian-friends-write-ukraine-summer-invasion

    And those "Realists" say Ukraine has no chance of winning and needs to come to the negotiation table, thereby conniving at the barbarity of Russia's regime and armed forces. And thereby exculpating both. As it is not Russia's but Ukraine's fault... In fact, the Ukrainians force the poor Russians to act that atrociously. If Ukraine would only give up, then Russia wouldn't be forced to act that barbarically. In fact, it's Urkaine that is brutalizing Russia, not the other way round, it's Ukraine forcing Russian soldiers and the Russian regime to suppress all their humanity and act that cruelly. Look what the Ukrainians do to the great Russian soul. Yes, it's Ukraine that needs to face the International Court of Justice, not Russia... That is the argument by the unity front of fascist Russia supporters, a majority of Russia supporting Global South countries, and the International Cheap Left. Of those who demand "peace talks". Who won't confront their own barbarity lying at the bottom of their demands.

    This is a highly informative long thread on Patreon, its functionality, its insights into how to treat audiences different from customers, its problems, its origin in the "long tail" discussions of 2004, its apparent cracking the problem of micropayments (i.e., making the payments-to-fee-ratio work) until... well, that is all in the thread.

    To me already the winner of the "Thread of the Year"-Award.

      It is incredibly frustrating that the only thing more stupid than Patreon is all the alleged Patreon substitutes that clearly don't even understand what Patreon does. Pro tip: Patreon has no meaningful competitors, and also it sucks, so there's a huge opportunity for somebody to kick sand in its face and take its lunch money. But to do that you would have to understand what actually Patreon does that is worth it to creators to allow Patreon to take 5% of their proceeds (and then pass on to them a second 5% in payment processing fees).

    @clacke As old as I am, I have never actually seen a 78 rpm record. It was just an unused option on record players.

    Which is a long way to say that I barely even knew they weren't vinyl, so I never heard any special terminology for them.

    1. Deoxyribose
      Deoxyribose, or more precisely 2-deoxyribose, is a monosaccharide with idealized formula Hβˆ’(C=O)βˆ’(CH2)βˆ’(CHOH)3βˆ’H. Its name indicates that it is a deoxy sugar, meaning that it is derived from the sugar ribose by loss of an oxygen atom. Since the pentose sugars arabinose and ribose only differ by the stereochemistry at C2β€², 2-deoxyribose and 2-deoxyarabinose are equivalent, although the latter term is rarely used because ribose, not arabinose, is the precursor to deoxyribose. History Deoxyribose was discovered in 1929 by Phoebus Levene. Structure Several isomers exist with the formula Hβˆ’(C=O)βˆ’(CH2)βˆ’(CHOH)3βˆ’H, but in deoxyribose all the hydroxyl groups are on the same side in the Fischer projection. The term "2-deoxyribose" may refer to either of two enantiomers: the biologically important d-2-deoxyribose and to the rarely encountered mirror image l-2...

    With this ringing endorsement of course I had to listen to the talk.

    It is a great talk. Doctorow is channeling new levels of righteous and justified anger, coupled with real hope.
