Wow! And now it's so safe. I think the safest transport per distance traveled.

“enhanced interrogation” instead of torture walked so “detention centers” instead of concentration camps could run.

Thanks to the handle of the cup, it should be possible to set it so it falls off after an hour of evaporation moves the center of mass over the brink.

We await her future attempts to verify this theoretical finding in the lab.

Or worse yet: filled with antimatter.

Cooperation is more powerful than coercion Trump misunderstands power as being synonymous with violence, but we can learn a lesson about real power from a humble source — flowers.

A Paradise Built in Hell - Wikipedia

Wow!

This sounds like a chapter out of [A Paradise Built in Hell](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Parad...), which I have now _twice_ failed to read through. Next time's the charm!

This joint committee was appointed and organized about four weeks atter the tornado, and while personal inspection trips were made through the tornado zonc, critical observation was handicapped to some extent by the work of demolition and reconstruction which had made considerable progress by that time.

Relief work continued over a period of several werks. gradually developing into the more carefully studied problem of rehabilitation. A fund of over one million dollars, ninety per cent of which had been contributed by the citizens of St. Louis. was placed at the disposal of a special committee of thirty-two prominent St. Louisans appointed by the Red Cross. The work of this committee was performed in a most careful and systematie man-ner. each case coming before it being made a mat-

ter of individual study. Within less than four months help had been given to over fifty-five hundred families and the money distributed as equitably as possible.

When I see people ask what more STL can do, I go back to the 1927 tornado. In 4 weeks after the tornado, the reconstruction and demolition had progressed so far that engineers had to rely on photos to study the tornado's effects. In under 4 months, more than 5500 families had direct cash aid.

If at all possible, let's go top-down this time. The bottom-up process takes too long for our dumbass electorate to remember.

Hey, apropos of nothing, here's a fun fact about cars: they're equipped with pneumatic tires. There's usually air inside the tires, but on each tire there's a small valve with a cover. If you unscrew the cover and poke the valve, the air leaves the tire to be free. This takes just a minute.

Last weekend we were talking about "bad games I like anyway". This was my nomination!

Its lack of ergonomics and guard rails are bonkers. Oh and the cringe politics. But also: its neato and that's hard for me to deny.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: at a house party, a guy is standing next to his buddy, a human-size horseshoe crab. They’re both holding red solo cups. The guy is looking to the other side of the room and excitedly says to the crab, “hey, there’s another horseshoe crab here!” The crab replies, “ugh.” Panel 2: the guy says, “what’s wrong?” The crab says, “he’s one of those guys who flaunts it too much.” Panel 3: we see the other horseshoe crab in question, engaged in conversation with a group of smiling people standing around him. This second horseshoe crab is wearing a cap with a horseshoe on it, and a novelty t-shirt that reads: I SURVIVED 5 MASS EXTINCTIONS. IS IT FRIDAY YET?

Went to the supermarket.
Their supposed "fire" lane was boring, actually.

I like the framing 'carbrain'.

I always accidentally parse it as 'carb rain', as in: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

Such behavior straight up defeated rent-a-bike and rent-a-scooter in Saint Louis.

There is only one limit to the harm he can cause you,
and it is you.

In your heart, you know: you will have
to do it sooner or later.

It is better for you
to do it sooner than later.

You asked for this job.
Do your job.

He is a sick man.
You already know who I'm talking about, don't you?
He is confusing himself with Jesus Christ.
He is threatening to kill civilizations, "never to be brought back again".
He is a sick man, and
he is getting worse fast.

Little koan to my quisling Senators this morning

We can build concrete curbs either curved or with sharp angles.

The brand new Tower Grove Connector features a mix of smooth and sharp.

Which type would you rather hit with your head?

My partner was riding on the separated cycletrack on McCausland.

She hit a small bump. After some wobbling and weaving, she toppled over - smashing her chin into the concrete Jersey barrier on the way down. She was rushed to the ER by ambulance, leaving a puddle of blood on the bikeway.

The injured were all adults on the older side.

That's my highly unscientific calculation from observing No Kings 3 street medics treating the fallout from 10,000 people walking 2 miles each.

People fall and crack their heads on pavement about once per seven thousand urban miles walked.

Thanks for the review!

Have I got you right that the core tension of the game is still the best in its class in today's market? Have I got that right? (Assuming they reissue some campaigns lickety split)

Sorry for bring so dense, but is there any reason to think that contraception is working better now than last decade?

I briefly tried the concept of "rollerskating for transportation" in St Louis.

One commute on Tower Grove Ave over Vandeventer was enough. *chuckle*

Ah. I see now. That tracks.

Too bad.

Wait, what's going on? I know Molly and her husband irl.

Yeah I'm "meh" on the Dune theme. But every game to bear its name seems to be absolutely crackerjack! So: gotta play them.
