By freeing apartment developers to build up to four stories across the city, the hometown of Harvard and MIT has set a new benchmark for the housing movement.

The Carrington Event (Entry 189.2P0312) โ Omnibus
In which a solar storm in 1859 leads to eye-popping auroras and a harboring of technological doom, and John compares gold pan and pizza sizes. Certificate #54094.
Fascinating, wild, and also super importantโthis is why I love Omnibus. If you havenโt checked it out yet, their latest episode on the Carrington Event and coronal mass ejections is an awesome place to start:

Been using the Cursor code editor for this and other projects the last couple weeks now tooโtotal game changer in productivity. Highly recommend checking it out, and think it can help people pick up coding, new frameworks, etc more quickly.
