It has come full circle. Now I see a Tesla supercharger full of 95% identical vehicles and think they are too homogeneous.

Working at an office park in the Bay Area, literally, and I mean literally, 50% of the cars are Teslas in the parking lot (mostly model 3 and Y).

The carpenter can sell the design of the chair.

The fact that very bad things happened to the Disappeared of Argentina makes me more concerned about the Disappeared of US, not less.

Jam Handy films were amazing. You could show this to an audience who was morally opposed to learning about differentials and they’d still learn about differentials.

Yes! At least once a week. Mostly to try out new apps and immersive content. I’ve taken it on a couple trips to capture immersive video, but never in public spaces, because that would be weird and I don’t want to be mugged.

The small floppy disks were still floppy disks. Thick plastic does not make a hard disc!

The Zojirushi 3 cup induction is the highest scoring rice cooker tested by Consumers Union. It was expensive but it makes excellent rice and you don’t have to be precise with the water. I hope to have it for the rest of my life.

Costco always sells discounted gift cards (in the US).

The feedback loop in education is several years long. Before a charter school develops a bad reputation, they just change their name, put up a banner declaring "Under New Management" and continue right along with better PR.

What happens to a failing public school? It keeps the same name, but adds “now Title I with an even larger budget”.

It’s not clear that that’s in any way better and I think is worse.

Oddly enough, the phrase "serial monogamy" describes the same exact thing! https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/serial_monogamy

Wikipedia on this (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Polygamy&oldid=11...):

"serial monogamy, marriage with only one other person at a time, in contrast to bigamy or polygamy[.] Some definitions of serial monogamy consider it to be polygamy, as it can result in evidence of genetic polygamy. It can also be considered polygamy for anthropological reasons."

So, "serial monogamy" vs "serial polygamy" seem to be two different interpretations of the same phenomenon:

- Serial monogamy: multiple monogamous relationships

- Serial polygamy: a polygamous relationship where the individual partners/relationships are separated in the time domain (like time-division multiplexing (TDM) in engineering: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Time-division_mul...).
