I mean, didnβt tariffs kill RadPower completely?
Wisconsin's 6-story single-stair bill dropped last month with 9 bill sponsors.
Oddly, the bill creates a council consisting of industry gatekeepers to author the single-stair code including an IRC expert even though 6-story projects would be under the IBC

This is why Iβm firm βshut the whole thing down and get it done as efficiently as possibleβ
Not only does partial work probably cause more delays overall, itβs infinitely more dangerous.
Yeah, I think the people who drag him now donβt realize thereβs not a single soul that could have changed that trajectory, and he was 25.
People donβt realize how quick it shifted from βhaha, edgelord, dark humor, but Iβm not really a Naziβ
to, βjokes on you, now I have a Nazi chest tattoo.β
I mean, obviously not, he eventually booted it all before it drove him to just give up and sell it for what he could get.
The site was ruining his life.
And no way Jeff convinced him of anything he didnβt already wanna do.
Nah, they HATE doing traffic policing. Maybe they want the funding, but theyβre not fiending to keep the work
Just trust me on this one, that guy wouldnβt be able to convince m00 t of anything he wasnβt already set on doing.
That convo went one of two ways, either cris asked him insightful questions & follow ups without once saying anything about himself, or he info dumped on some topic way over J Es head
He brought it back because he viewed it as a needle sharing program, methadone clinic kinda thing, better to give them their own dark corner than have them revolt and be way worse on 8chan.
After, heβd cooperate with turning over documents to the Feds on awful shit
You ever think his desire to drop off the face of the earth and what 4chan had become maybe were related somehow?
I mean, to give perspective he founded 4chan, went through all that shit, and sold it all before he even had to get off his parents health insurance.
Yup. The relative wealth it takes to fund a hockey prospect reeeeeallly narrows down who gets in, even if theyβre from the more liberal northern states
Oh and it doesnβt include 33% of professional franchises, most notably from CA, TX, and WI.
Remember baseball is 1/3 non us players mostly from Latin American countries and the NHL is 75% non American players, mostly from countries with universal health care
Man, I canβt even put my finger on why this game just wasnβt it. It likes tries and is meh at 2 things.
With as close as theyβve been, isnβt this all it takes, though?
So, remember that scene in Andor where the empire shoots one of its own security forces at a protest to justify a crackdown an takeover of Gorman?
The empire wanted a clean Casus Beli, it would lose the public opinion narrative by killing sympathetic protestors without cause.
Good show, Andor.
Dracolich no where to be found in that game!

The 4 alternatives for Reimagining WI-175 are in. WISDOT indicate that public feedback has essentially ruled out the replace in kind option (yay!), and strongly prefers the "End Middle" and/or "End South" options.
I agree, despite major quibbles with some design choices, esp the Cul-de-sacs. #MKE
Like, for example, how long do you think Turbotax has left, really? Their one ace in the hole was how complicated the tax code was.
Even if you had the money, no one wants to code your 3 am app idea, and no lawyer is gonna sign on to help you craft a 60 page legal brief for whatever noble cause of the day is.
But with good AI, those doors are open.
I think the writing is on the wall for a LOT of rent seeking industries.
You know, all the focus is on stealing and creepy aspects of AI, art, people impersonation, or whatever.
But for a lot of applications its a complete game changer: leveling the playing field for those with ideas, but without the capital to pay armies of professionals for thankless grunt work.
if you removed a lane each direction for median and sidewalk expansion, this becomes really good urbanism.
Heck, even turning a parking lane+driving lane to angled parking would do a heckuva lot.
Congressman Ben Cline Today, I testified before the House Transportation and Infrastuture Committee to advocate for Interstate-81 the construction of a third lane along the entire 300-mile length of Interstate 81 in Virginia. βMost notable for the region I represent is I-81, a road that stretches the entirety of my district from Frederick County in the North to Roanoke County in the South. With this vital roadway spanning six states, over 300 miles of which are in Virginia, I have continuously worked for improvements to I-81 β Watch my full testimony β¬οΈ
AADT Estimates by Region Tennessee border area (Bristol/Abingdon): 32,000 to 40,000 vehicles. Wytheville area: Traffic volumes drop to a low of approximately 23,000 just west of Wytheville, but rise at the I-81/I-77 overlap to about 46,000. Christiansburg to Salem: Volumes generally range from 38,000 to 43,000. Roanoke area: This section has some of the highest volumes, around 50,000 to 52,000 vehicles per day. East of Roanoke to Lexington (I-64 interchange): Volumes are around 30,000 to 33,000. I-64 overlap section: Volumes are relatively consistent at 32,000 to 34,000. Staunton to New Market: Volumes increase again, ranging from 38,000 to 44,000.
"Just one more lane, bro!" Shenandoah mountain style!
Virginia has about 325 miles of interstate 81, and the counties it goes through don't even get to a million people combined.
Congressman Ben Cline just proposed widening the entire stretch from 4 to 6 lanes. a ~20 Billion dollar project???
System sucks. 250 years and only one other country has ever copied it, and thatβs because they were essentially a colony of ours.
Andβ¦ letβs just say the results there could have given you a lot of clues about what a bad faith person could do
Also, isnβt it also the core of philosophy to prove Plato was a gigantic asshole ?
Still very disappointing that the nazis had such a good sense of style, just ruining it for everyone.
Of course itβs all a part of the propoganda.
Iβm an urban planner, not a transportation one. I think I know a few, but none on socials
I mean, translated from Minnesota nice, this sounds like lewis black in "Inside Out"
I mean, this is unquestionably a *good* thing, right?
At no time should we ever be like βteenager pregnancy, fuck yeah!β
Any position of power being a winner take all first past the post election held by one person is a potential failure point.
One person shouldnβt have the right to make ANY call alone.
