This is perfect. Remember how someone recently drove into the park on NE Holman, only to be stopped by one of those cute LEGO bollards? bikeportland.org/2025/09/17/d...

Someone repainted the heroic little guys and the one that got his has a worried face.

non residents are subject to the preschool tax which are keeping some businesses out. Rivos Inc was looking to move downtown but employees protested. Getting rid of the non-resident filing will help.

What about the non-residents who work in MultCo and have to pay it? They don’t need to move just not come to town to work. This doesn’t help downtown. We should examine non-resident exemptions. I think we want jobs and high paying jobs in Portland and MultCo.

People are always saying on social media that gen-AI is here to stay and that it’s retrograde and standing in the way of progress if we reject it. But there are plenty of things that were once the embodiment of progress that we collectively decided to reject, from cocaine in soft drinks to eugenics

Awesome. Thank you very much.

"allUserKinds : List UserKind" is there an Elm Review rule to create reminders to ensure the list is complete? That is something I have wanted - but not sure how to create.

Good evening

I saw and forgot the movie. It will not live in my head.

B - cheaper to improve security and doesn’t require self reflection.

If you illustrated him handing out needles then I’d think you understand the complexity what is going on.

This is my crypto quant.

I worked on a $20 million ad campaign in 1999 that got less attention than the damn banana. As a PR stunt it might be money well spent.

In 2076 I hope someone resurrects that tricentennial patch.

YouTube video by Developer Voices Elm & The Future of Open Source (with Evan Czaplicki)

What’s happening with Elm-lang? That had to be the first question I asked #Elm's creator, Evan Czaplicki, and you can't answer without asking, what’s happening with Open Source funding? Can OSS successfully exist when companies want everything they can get for free, forever? 😰

“Cut to the emergency batteries” said Dr Nolan.

“We have drained them all” a nurse said.

“Damnit.” The doctor watched another patient die.

As he walked down from the 36th floor Nolan hatched a plan. Dear leader Lop Top was going to die and he was going to do the unthinkable: build a nuke.

Split brain occurs when distributed systems loose contact and nodes operate independently. There is no longer a canonical source, data becomes inconsistent.
With the other place I am experiencing a social split brain. Same folks but different posts and replies.

Rupert over on the Elm Slack dropping some wisdom. Infuriating yet practical

I never played the game - it was just something I saw advertised. Then a friend’s son got into it - I was blown away at how expensive it is.

this is one of my favorite custom feeds, Quiet Posters

it shows you posts from people you follow who don't post that much! so it surfaces friends' posts that might otherwise get drowned out in the Following feed (which is reverse chronological) 🤗

I love this protest game for Toronto bike lanes by @omarieclaire.bsky.social so much, having a lot of fun dying repeatedly

Things To Come (1936, Alexander Korda)

...is a quite silly movie with gorgeous, beautiful, stunning production design.

Junji Ito is a master at getting under one's skin. And, good night.

The article is too vague to really even comment on - no specifics in what constitutes too big or too small. The author says "firehose" is that 4" 2.5" what? How many houses have that large of a water line?

She should live in a house with a small pipe, take a shower and have one of the kids say - brush their teeth, or flush a toilet. And forget taking two showers at once. I know – I lived it in our old place in the SE – a rental or we would have fixed it.
