Her refusal to answer isn’t necessarily confirmation he kept it. She might have wanted to avoid saying No because that invites additional questions like why was it returned it if he wasn’t doing anything wrong? Bad look no matter her answer.

Sure but don’t these guys try to back up their arguments using numbers? No one says MJ was the GOAT bc he had the prettiest shooting motion. They point to shooting percentage and championships and MVP awards.

3/ Though I should acknowledge that a point in Charlottesville’s favor is that their population numbers don’t include UVA to my knowledge. If UVA’s -3 sq miles were added to C-Ville that would further increase their density I believe.

2/ Obviously there’s still room for improvement but it’s not as bad as it appears on paper bc of that undeveloped land. LA has worse looking density numbers than reality too bc of large incorporated desert area.

Chapel Hill is hard to compare to C-ville density. C-ville is only 10 sq miles and incorporates no undeveloped land. Chapel Hill-Carrboro is 86,000 / 28 sq miles but includes ~5 sq miles of undeveloped forest tracts. If that forest isn’t annexed, density is more comparable to Cville at 3740 ppsm

Chapel Hill is anti-growth for sure but it’s also unique to a lot of these cities in that most of those are growing through annexation and Chapel Hill is boxed in on all sides and has few annexation options left, not that I think that’s a good solution either

Kannapolis is at 60,500 will pass Chapel Hill in next few years too.

Makes sense. I’ve got lots of issues with Bluesky but it’s mostly that it sucks at product development in a timely manner. This seems like a minor issue compared to its others

Why do voters at Appalachian State keep getting picked on? A new lawsuit is trying to overturn state laws that made it harder for students in Boone to have a voice in county politics. Who created those laws? A proud and powerful App State grad, that's who.

The lawmaker accused of diluting the votes of Appalachian State students was honored in 2024 as a Distinguished Alumni of … Appalachian State www.ncrabbithole.com/p/why-voters...

That this is not only considered implausible, but that nobody in the top echelons of Congress (in either party!) will even consider being gauche enough to say the i-word, is the surest sign that the entire federal legislative branch has declared bankruptcy as a going concern.

I’ve decided the guys not wearing masks, while brave, are the true psychos. They are out and proud. They want to be known for their dark deeds.

Yep. Plot of land is crucial but still gotta put something of value there β€” unless you’re just selling parking spaces aka PPC farming

It’s a great domain name and a fair price but the ad campaign was too on the nose and destined to fail β€” especially in NYC. Now the name is notorious and when and if they fail, it has much lower resale value.

You may have heard my arguments against the Electoral College before. Here’s a new one the Founders never anticipated:

If the President is elected by popular vote, he probably wouldn’t selectively punish entire states for voting against him.
