Wow but also no surprise. The brains of Orbans operations departed the planet a couple if not more years ago and well, this is how long it took them to ruin it lol

Happy to. I would highly recommend Steve Matchett's books. Particularly Life in the Fast Lane, The Mechanics Tale and The Charioteers. There is a chronological order to them but they work fine as standalone.

IDK but I am increasingly convinced that they somehow also are the group that was consulted instead of engineers on the new F1 PU regs....

Lol apropos of nothing but if you are asking is this Ferraris year then I regret to inform you you haven't been watching F1 long enough. OK, fair I saw a meme and this was my immediate thought. Humor etc

I mean for me, fundamentally incompatible with our system of government also works but I am a fan of long words so lol but yeah, couldn't agree more.

Everything about this is great but β€œcycling is beautiful and will teach you the pattern language of the hidden places in your city if you allow it to” is poetry and perfectly captures why I love riding so much

So the arguable proposition, that billionaires will leave a state faced with such a tax, is rarely met with the correct (IMO) counterargument that billionaires ultimately cost the state more than they return therefore either way the state wins. IMO their current actions in CA suggest they know this.

Can the answer be "would you please define that for me?" Genuine question bc we often use words that have very specific meanings in casual ways in daily usage. Or, would it be better to supply your own, like "if by X you mean something like Y then the answer is Y/N"? Not a lawyer but kinda curious.

Oh are we discussing the abysmal clearing of sidewalks after a storm? I'm in NYC, Bklyn and yeah, it is time to come up with better solutions particularly ramps to crosswalks.... Good luck w your mayor.

I wasn't going to make it till I saw the difference in numbers but to me it was evidence of a good thing! Even with all that margins in pct increased from 24! Seemed like a good point to continue making considering off year elex are next fall.

Oh wow and that is not at all how I meant it. Off year elex always have much lower turnout. I just ran out of room to add variables I didn't account for, such as changing district lines etc.

So for context elex was Minn State House 64A. Screenshot of 26 results from article & 24 results from Minn SoS office. Oh and dang, after doing the Alt text holy moly, 27924 voted in '24, and just 5811 in '26, so get yer ass out and vote off year peeps, locals matter! www.sos.mn.gov/elections-vo...

Yes on the one hand we did it but on the other, in high-school they failed to return a book to the library on time so clearly we were justified....
