despite my effort to stay off social media and not doom-scroll the news, incredible that I keep finding out about more things that Trump is doing that is yet again the worst thing a president has ever done.

but yes, this is how i did it on laptop. and i'm not sure if it's dumber or not that this works. (vanguard used to just silently truncate it on the backend regardless of what you sent)

yeah, but i was trying to do it on my phone

The internet is held together by duct tape

holy hell. Costco added a character limit on the password input box, and now I literally can't login normally because our password is/was longer than the input box character limit.

it is incredible that dumb changes like this get pushed to prod.

I think this understates how much people were freaking out about autism. My first intro to anti-vaxxers were from coworkers who seemed just absolutely worried about their kid getting autism. Anti-vaxxing is a step change phenomenon from that stuff

yeah, while the anti-vax stuff precedes RFK it definitely has the same roots. guarded caution about medical mandates amidst uncertainty of pharmaceutical practices morphed into "They[tm] are covering up that this causes autism"

I don’t go on Bluesky much these days, so consider me surprised that half my feed is dumping on Armand for what I can ascertain are not-fact-based reasons. Like wtf happened to everyone. Maybe everyone else should get off bluesky, too.

Another earthquake?

First one since moving to CA that made me feel alarmed instead of amused

ah but have you considered imaginary rolling strikes and boycotts of ???? instead of actually literally changing political representation in the federal government

present zoning absolutely exists to keep uses and people out. because if that weren't the case, zoning would literally be unnecessary and there would never be arguments about zoning. there are arguments bc someone wants to live or do something with some land and zoning prevents it, by design.

present zoning is not a manifestation of revealed preferences. prices and homebuilding activity are.

You must be using in/out-migration preference in a different way because none of that is related to that for me. In/out-migration preference to me simply means “do people want to live here/there or not”

After boy hit in crosswalk, school red curbs top of mind The crash happened Monday at about 3 p.m., at Hopkins Street and Colusa Avenue, as King middle school was letting out.

in other cities, i have seen bollards or sometimes actual gigantic rocks or leftover pieces of concrete sitting in these red zones to physically disallow drivers from being in the red zone at all.

how much would it cost to just start putting concrete planters in these zones?

What does that have to do with in/out migration preference

i feel like i know maximum yimbys and they are not as you say. ignoring in/out-migration preferences would be like seriously demanding to build The Cube in middle of rural kansas.

Who doesn’t?

i grew up in a TX suburb that went from 70k to 200k in 20 years, one of many such explosive growth stories in the DFW metroplex, still at a fraction of the housing cost in CA. human nature do what it do, but we do not have to give human nature veto power over homes the way places like California do.

If I picked up motorcycling again, the most immediate consequence would be a voiding of all my term life insurance. In terms of the health assessment risks it was literally in the same bucket as skydiving & abusing hard drugs.

I dispute that education & training sufficiently mitigate risks. It's an inherently dangerous activity. Intelligent adults can accept whatever risks they want for a hobby. As a generalized suggestion it's reckless.

All the gear all the time, but even with helmet laws and relatively good compliance, you still get a lot of motorcycle fatalities. (583 fatalities in CA ‘23 of which only 33 attributed to no helmet). Motorcycles are a physics problem, bikes going slower are a feature not a bug

Non-interstate doesn’t mean non-high or non-highway. And you misunderstand what I’m saying, since what I was saying is riding a motorcycle is like riding a car except without the protections of a car. That means getting hit by a car goes from minor whiplash to severe or critical injury.

IIRC fatality rates are way higher across the board. It’s not about middle aged drunks on OP engines, it’s about driving at high/highway speeds without any of the protection of a vehicle that encases you with force absorbers and restraints

is she better than porter for CAHSR?

i don't go to mcdonald's for croissants and donuts though, i want horribly unhealthy breakfast sandwiches made with glorified pancakes as buns

> they have McDonald’s but no breakfast

That’s the worst thing I’ve ever read

was just this AM observing that this year's summer has been very cool, and a few hours later got a surprise bill from PG&E (we have rooftop solar & normally don't get a bill now).

had to look up our sunrun stats and it confirms that '25 is a very foggy year for nw berkeley

blessed existence honestly
