It’s always a good year in Akron

And by “easier” I just mean the logistics of submitting them, not the admissions criteria

Applications have also gotten much easier and more frictionless for most selective schools. I applied to like 5 schools 30+ years ago; my daughter applied to 15, mostly on a common app—so I wonder how much the increase in selectivity is driven by pools getting bigger bc ppl apply to more schools

I put together one of those picture reels they play at bar mitzvahs and graduations and asked the photographer to use Forever Young, meaning Alphaville, and he used this song and I’ve never been more bummed

Also screw AI art

“My friends laughed at me but who’s laughing now, Carl?”

“Also I stocked up on these bumper stickers at the Portal Gift Shop because you never know”

It’s interesting that there’s been a specific backlash against this in the car community; things like FOTU and Radwood (OG) and the whole brown manual wagon trope. I think this is a new thing (within the past 20 years anyway) and it responds to the commodification and curation of “luxury” brands

Would only really be interesting if they did a nascar race at the same time

WWII Great Lakes Submarines Move forward to World War II and there were 28 U.S. Navy submarines built from 1941-1944 at Manitowoe Shipbuilding Company in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, and launched in Lake Michigan. Manitou had never built a submarine before, but finished the first one 228 days early. The USS Peto, the first of 28 submarines built by Wisconsin's Manitowo Shipbuilding Company, was transported in a floating drydock down the Mississippi River to New Orleans. It was launched on April 30, 1942. | WIKIMEDIA COMMONS The first sub was the USS Peto, launched April 30, 1942, and in December, loaded on a floating drydock barge and transported on the Mississippi River to New Orleans. This was the first submarine to travel the midwestern waterways to reach the sea. Of the 28 subs built by Manitowoc, 25 served in the Pacific Patrol, sinking a total of 143 ships. The last sub built by Manitowas was the LISS Mero, which

Oh they built them at Manitowoc

I don’t know if there are lake submarines but I think we should call those ships

Well unless it’s on a lake, in which case it’s also always a boat, even if it’s 1000 feet long

Future Champions for America Second is unintentionally accurate branding

She’s basically just writing adolescent Chosen One myths like Star Wars or Harry Potter except the protagonists are architects and industrialists

The thing with Rand is that there’s nothing wrong with reading and enjoying it as a teen as long as a) you also read something else, and b) you grow out of it

The Fountainhead is, *as a story,* not terrible and the writing isn’t the worst thing you’ll come across when you’re 12 or 13

And Rand has a lot of appeal to a young teen who is all about discovering their own identity and hasn’t yet internalized the benefits they derive from society

Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, who is about 18 months old and was born during the war, lives with his mother and brother in a tent on a Gaza beach. Mohammed's mother, Hedaya al-Mutawaq, 31, said the toddler's father was killed last October when he went out to seek food. "I walk the streets looking for food," she said by phone, her voice barely audible. The charity kitchens she relies on to help feed Mohammed and his brother, Joud, 3, cannot always help, and they go hungry. "As an adult, I can bear the hunger," she said. "But my kids can't." Mohammed, according to his doctor, had preexisting health problems affecting his brain and his muscle development. But his health deteriorated rapidly in recent months as it became increasingly difficult to find food and medical care, and the medical clinic that treated him said he suffers from severe malnutrition. "I look at him and I can't help but cry," she said. "We go to bed hungry and wake up thinking only about how to find food," she added. "I can't find milk or diapers."

I don’t know what the “major contention” is bc you didn’t bother to explain it but here is what NYT says about him, so I’m not sure how a “correction” makes any sense?

Also the logo has a definite 70s sci-fi vibe about it

Agree on that point, and some were criticizing it for being overly male-centric, which I guess is fair…but also I think we need to talk specifically to men about this, so targeting the audience doesn’t really bother me

I’ve enjoyed Ian’s work a lot over the years (even if I disagree with him vehemently on cars and driving), and was kind of mystified by the reaction this piece got yesterday. As you say, it’s very sensible advice!

Agreed, I just wish they had better more consistent model naming scheme

Yes. BMWs phone as a key implementation works pretty well actually; it’s far more stable and reliable than Tesla’s, at least in my experience.

I think a lot of four wheel disc brakes work this way; I remember adjusting the parking brake shoes on my 987 at one point. According to Wikipedia, this is common on multipiston calipers bc the calipers take more force to engage

The alternative is a smaller parking caliper, like Gary posted
