And the problem is, zoning is almost never the answer to healthy growth. Is it useful for segregation? Yes. Is it useful for temporarily sustaining property value. Yes. I know there are some counter examples, but I always think about the be

Because we've inverted the pyramid. School enables people to work and make money. Education is a side effect of the daycare, and unless you go home to motivated and curious parents, likely the best you can hope for is they get socializ

Careful how you swing that axe of relaxed zoning. Got me nearly kicked off my local town council. "Why can't that town two towns over build more apartments for our day laborers?" they all ask in unison.

Right?! Cataclysm DDA is the first thing I think of when I think roguelike. And then someone says Slay the Spire is roguelike because, I dunno, you progress in ability. I suppose I'm just too old.

Linux definitely does this. What different DEs do with it is sometimes suspect. But BT keyboard definitely wakes my GNOME environment, while it does not stay connected to my headphones.

Which, if we're being honest, is not inherently a bad thing. I know people who worry about how much they lean on the grandparents for help, but then walking it back two generations, that's kinda, sorta how it always was. It's

Nobody is arguing with you about skateboarding destroying some property. 100% seems like hyperbole given that many (nay, most these days) skateboarding takes place at municipal or private parks. Statistics on lawsuits brought by riders agai

On a more positive note, I love to see municipalities embracing community rather than shunning. I personally wouldn't session those things just cause it seems crazy public. But I'm glad skateboarding isn't quite so marginaliz

Wow, that's a hilarious hot take to hear in 2024. I get that some people associate skateboarding with all that, but then again, there are some folks who just trespass and cause property damage on their feet. Almost as though there&#x27

This. I find myself tremendously bored watching most videos online these days, scrubbing through to find things that are of interest. There's just so much filler and even when it's not, the information density is very low. In the

But that's a silly example, because proving net-harm from industrial uses across from residential is easy. Proving net-harm from denser residential is generally an exercise in NIMBY-ism that slides very smoothly into classism and racis

There's got to be some cosmic irony to using Buddhism principals of impermanence to help explain the next phase of post-WW2 consumer culture.

This space is too small for a philosophical debate about the merits of UBI. Suffice it to say, when the top 5% has 1,000x more than they need for subsistence and the bottom 25% has never had access to more than 1x more than they need for su

I mean, we're basically heading towards a basic minimum income at that point, where you truncate the top 5% of the tax ladder and redistribute it to the bottom 25%. At that point, people could pay for services. Dig a little into the id

Geez. Simply the trajectory changing twice in flight rules out rockets and makes is pretty clear it was a directed Interceptor. But the fog of war is thick so we'll probably never really know. So sad.

Gah, it's not even the politicization! I dare you to sit through a 3rd grade class at your neighborhood school. Nothing gets done. They do projects with little to no mooring to curriculum. That is, unless you live in a top percentile d

As someone for whom the pandemic inverted the hierarchy of needs around school, we are still homeschooling because public school around here is a glorified day care full of busy work. The one thing we are missing is the socialization part a

yeah, noted. But it does seem like the heading change was so dramatic and the smoke pouring out after power recovery that something happened with the prop. And while it may have been currents, the lack of heading change before the smoke see

Does that mean this was effectively captain error? Like in response to a power outage the decision was made to try to reverse and rather than arrest forward momentum it just pushed their forward vector into the piling?

Damn. I'm convinced. The asdf CLI was always a bit of a pain ... mostly I don't interact with it that often. But mise seems light years better designed. Thanks!

Curious what you like about mise! I've been a strong advocate for asdf for a few years now. Aside from smooshing together tools that are often used together, but not always (direnv, make), I can't see what mise adds to the pictur

Probably not much reason to panic anyhow. If you live within 20 minutes of a hospital (probably, in 2024), know what measles looks like, and ensure Vitamin A in your family diet, there's a very low likely-hood that even if your family

I am no expert in WWII era politics, but a big part of what led to WWII had been fierce nationalism within Europe that made it start drawing lines. That still exists, but there's both more outlets for competition and more opportunities
