Oh yeah, I definitely agree that it's an undesirable housing option, and that it shouldn't be a priority to grow it into the future. The problem is that in cities that have regulated apartments out of existence it's the only

I think it's not about the properties of land and water per se, so much as avoiding flying over populated areas where it can be observed directly.

As a YIMBY, ADUs are an introductory "first step" policy that should obviously be legal, but were never expected to have any real effect. True YIMBY policy would be zoning for six-story apartments by-right citywide, with density g

Absolutely, yes. Everyone who voted for Jill Stein is a de facto Trump supporter even if they won't admit it to themselves.

Then why did Trump choose to negotiate and sign the USMCA?

America is committing high-speed cultural suicide and destroying decades of goodwill around the world by alienating its friends and betraying its allies. I'm not cheering for an American Empire. America is choosing to align itself with

That sounds perfectly in line with the usual connotations of grandiose.

Google made a cute modern implementation of the classic snake game. It has a surprising amount of configurability that I almost missed at first glance. Pills as portals, infinite scroll, flying pills...

Not really. Mao's book has been known as the "Little Red Book" in English for decades, well before the app existed. And the characters for "小红书" directly and literally translate to "little", "red&quo

However, for any Chinese people who also know English, the association is obvious. I asked an actual Chinese person about 小红书 and they assumed I was talking about Mao's book until I clarified.
