This book I’m reading came to its fake ending at page 482. I know it’s a fake ending because the book is 700 pages long, but the author is dragging out this fake conclusion over 90 pages. Just get to the twist already!

Too late to start?

Me trying to figure out mate with only two knights left.

There’s a Denmark, Sweden, and Finland in South Carolina as well!

At one point in the 90s, the western-most Waffle House was in Arizona. I’m curious where it spread to now.

No. We want housing to be more affordable.

It seems her journalism (and the corruption of elite political journalism surrounding her) helped enable some of the awful cruelty of this administration, so that’s why it matters to other people.

On my one trip back to the Bay Area since moving away, we drove by it and I waved for you.

That’s the supply side of the problem but there’s a demand side too. People want the false beliefs. They crave them and search them out.

Prices would go back to 2017-2019 levels

4th December: The Battle of Lund, the bloodiest battle in Nordic history, fought between Swedish and Danish forces on the plains outside Lund in Skåne, took place today in 1676. It was part of the War of Skåne, fought mainly in the province between Sweden and Denmark-Norway.

I bike past this sign pretty often!

I like how he has a hard time, imagining the simple solution, that people have moral values, rather than it is a secondhand way of social climbing and self dealing.

I feel ya

Yes! The solution to the problem is housing that is derelict and empty. Ship the homeless away from the towns they live in to an empty house in a rust belt outlier village!

A house that is empty bc it is between owners for three weeks between a sale is the solution!

It’s tempting. I have coworkers with them but they hey have longer commutes.

Look at the little sweeper!!!

I miss easy access to good sourdough and consistently good kimchi. Happy for you!!!

My two part solution is:

A) thicker tires with metal studs on a bin I only use in ice and snow

B) living in a city where they do snow sweeping maintenance on the many bike paths.

I would not have taken on the personal responsibility of part A without the systemic solution in part B.

Sounds good to me!!! ;)

I love when the metadata of a bug photo gets to represent the town because they are just so few photos of that town to source from.

I specifically remember complaining about the New Yorker’s umlaut all the way back in 2002.

When will they give up?
