Furniture should be heavy
“The idea here is with each service change, we pick a cohort of operators, and we show them the data, and we say, ‘Hey, you’re not operating to our standard, but you had no idea. Here’s how we can improve,’” Helta said.

The Chinese environment ministry has asked petrochemicals plants, copper smelters, airlines and other heavy polluters to report their emissions, a key step to expanding the nation’s carbon market.
There are currently platoons of front end loaders, like groups of 5, 6, 7 out removing snow all over Baltimore City. Pretty cool!

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.
Today I settled all family business (paid a couple of parking tickets).
2026 is 10% complete
I always wince when I read about crops rotting, bc growing up in a farming family it was engrained in me that this is proof of a failed system.
Camping culture is going to merge more with mainstream culture as the storms get worse and infrastructure gets less reliable. We’ll prioritize durable, useful stuff over stuff that is new, cheaply made, doesn’t hold up well. Portable/distributed sources of power and heat are going to be important.

“When I took my post as secretary general of the Council of Europe just over a year ago, I did not think that I would ever have to write about the possibility of the United States taking military action against a member state,” Alain Berset writes.
There’s going to be so many annoying or-AI Super Bowl commercials this year, like crypto in 2021.
Plato was one of the first posters to make up a guy, the philosopher king.
It took the Catholic Church 300 years to acknowledge that the earth revolves around the sun. Pope John Paul II apologized in 1992.

Think about it next time you watch. Once you realize you’re watching 90 minutes of story and another 6 hours of filler you won’t stop noticing.
Most prestige TV shows today would be more satisfying not as 3 seasons, 30 episodes, etc., but as one movie or a couple of movies. You simply don’t need all that time to accomplish what each show really accomplishes.
I’ve become an opponent of prestige TV. After the 2000s prestige TV has become perhaps more important than film in terms of cultural impact. The longer timespan allowed artists to explore a story in a lot more depth. But over the years the situation has reversed. Time has become the downfall.
You really have to marvel at the scale of the treat economy
There should be a mechanism to incentivize building where new homes, new jobs, and new infrastructure will have the most benefit.
If new development is added in those locations, we get more benefit per dollar of new infrastructure spending. If not, we get a hodge podge of disconnected infrastructure that has little benefit for the cost.
Seems to me we should be having more of a smart growth conversation about AFPO and transportation. There are places in every county that are connected to the existing transit infrastructure.

The bad news is the universe is projected to end in 20 billion years, but the good news is we’ve got time.
A good question for the "Deciding to Win" popularism advocates to answer would be, were the 8 moderate Senators right to break rank on the government shutdown from an electoral perspective? Will that help or hurt their own performance and that of the Democratic Party brand nationwide?

The impact on those enrolled in health insurance through ACA would be profound. Without the tax credits premiums would more than double (increase by 114%). 7 in 10 enrollees say they would not be able to afford coverage if this occurred, and 4 in 10 would expect to lose insurance entirely.
Polling data from KFF shows a vast majority of voters (74%) support extending the enhanced ACA tax credits set to expire next year, the issue central to the government shut down. This includes 59% of Republicans and 57% of "MAGA" supporters.
AAA estimates the average cost of owning a car is $12,297 a year, and recommends drivers spend no more than 10 percent of their income on car costs. This means you should make 120K to afford the average cost. Median *household* income in the US is $77K. The math just doesn't work.
