if you want a smile from an elder millennial, ask them about Homestar Runner

Request: can we use genetic modifications to eradicate dandelions and thistle weeds? How much time and money is spent getting rid of these?! Not to mention they push people to use harmful chemical weed killers.

Gonna start making a “heart of hearts” adjustment whenever using stated preference or survey sentiment data.

Mayor Humdinger in Paw Patrol sounds like Paul Giamatti doing a bit.

Ten years of smart growth: Five observations from the field - Smart Growth America

As I leave SGA, here are my observations from the field over ten years in working in research and planning across scores of communities.

Pitch this movie to a studio!

Big news: today's my first day as Head of Data Science & Geospatial Analytics at Cushman & Wakefield! 🎉 Super excited for this next chapter. Here's to new adventures!

Well if you’re thirsty for benefits try and get in space force. All the benefits zero the risk

Like, a Wookie could sit with like a 0.5% discount rate and just wait things out compared to a human with a 1/10th the lifespan.

Thinking about discount rates and like how does banking work in the Star Wars universe if different beings have vastly different lifespans.

it would require an SEC that is not regime-compromised

I know right? Like, Lord Cornwallis was also a great general during the Revolutionary War (yes, he lost, too), but it's not like he wasn't good at warfare.

I mean... you're not gonna suddenly get more votes than you got initially, so unless the bill passed with two-thirds...

keep constant backups. but even then ,can you trust the backup?

It is 3am and had trouble sleeping and my thought is that elder millennials are like the High Elves, the last beings to ever see the true light of the Trees of Valinor

What’s stupid about this was “boots on the ground” was intended to be a practical metaphor / phrase to avoid debates over “invasion” or “occupation”. It’s meant to be self evident. Boots are or are not on the ground.

Cargo Bike People:

the thing is that any AI lit review research is not capable of doing it fully properly merely by access to papers. If the AI doesn't have access to the full pdf, and only the abstract, then there's no way it can even so much as summarize empirical findings precisely.

the thing is that the economy bubble, especially in stocks, was highly vulnerable to an exogenous negative shock. Any little thing could come and be the needle that pops it. So then they go "lets start a war that inflates deficits and also creates massive oil price spikes and supply chain issues"

FYI, on its own the top is better when you account for taxation and the cost of health care premium inflation.
The only possible argument for the bottom is: people who are otherwise covered by parents / spouse, or a bet to index your wage rate higher for higher raises.

Gen Z employees don't seem to yet understand the full cost / value of employer health insurance, esp. if its an employer that pays 100% of premiums.
They be like...

The thing is, their theory is that every undocumented immigrant was crowding out an otherwise unemployed native. If that were the case, then their mass deportation policy should not need a "30k baseline" fudge factor because every immigrant job would immediately be filled by an aggrieved native.

A lot of people (like me!) who bought EVs recently may well face far-faster-than-average depreciation because new models will be so far improved in software / UI tech, and more importantly, battery tech for range and charge speed. My "270 mi" range EV might look like a dinosaur in 5 yrs

its also just that EVs are at a pace of innovation we haven't seen in decades. It's closer to like where computers were in the 90s, or phones in the 2010s... but for $40-70k assets. And sadly, because of the fast innovation it will make 3-5 year old cars look ancient and depreciate them fast.

that lifecycle thing is huge too. A big x-factor I've thought about is the battery vs rest of car lifespan. I currently have a Volvo EX30 and keep thinking of that. Unfortunately I do think current EVs are gonna see very large depreciation due to tech advancements

but didnt jared solve world peace in the region by doing the abraham accords?

BYD just killed your EV argument with a battery that competes with gas engines The Chinese carmaker's new batteries feature a 5-minute charge and 621-mile range, plus a 620,000-mile lifespan and lower prices.

It’s insane how the Chinese are lapping us at EV tech. To be fair, they’re also lapping Europe.

Well my theory is she got fired today because I guess the embarrassment is schtupping Lewandowki and potentially causing a perjury impeachment was too much. Not the fact of the matter. But the distraction it caused. lol.
