Subway Particle Levels Aren't That High

Mostly for fun, though I do think having that kind of distance allowed me to be more critical of myself.

you are breathing back in exhaled CO2

Enough to matter?

I would have guessed so, but this one is actually super comfortable.

I haven't noticed any reactions.

Yes, it doesn't fit super well with glasses. I just put them on over and while its not ideal it doesn't bother me too much for the subway ride.

Four years on, with kids now 11y, 9y, and 4y, we've continued to be pretty happy with a Honda Fit (small, five seats) for moving our family around.

If I did that, people in photos would often be recognizable. It retains completely accurate posture, body shape, skin color, clothing, and height. I've often recognized people in this kind of image.

(I haven't voted on your comment, but I suspect this is why it's disagree voted)

It is possible that jefftk put in a lot of effort to make sure the generated vibe is as accurate as could reasonably be

I didn't. I picked out a photo that I was going to use to illustrate the piece, one host asked me not to use it because of privacy, another suggested Ghiblifying it and made one quickly on their phone. We looked at it and thought it gave the right impression despite the many errors.

As far as I know, this could be a literal photo of the party in question, and it's free: https://unsplash.com/photos/a-man-and-woman-dancing-in-a-room-with-tables-and-chairs-KpzGmDvzhS4

The vibe of the generated image is far closer to the real party than the image you linked.
