For Rails devs working with test fixtures, do you have any rules for yourself for when (if ever) you create one-off records within a test, instead of creating new fixtures?

It just occurred to me.

Running for Gov seems like an uphill battle? Or maybe he's getting ready if Healy runs for something else.

It feels like a few people are playing above expectations and it'll be interesting to see if that holds.

This team has been fun to watch.

Ah! The trolley tracks don't go down Newbury but turn into the building.
