I hope Sinners wins because it was good and One Battle After Another is dominated by John Wick at 2/3 speed

The most central area with the tall buildings is in the center of several more vibrant areas.

I'm not sure why that happened. It might be because of the failure of the harbor mall, but I didn't know if that's a cause or an effect... or a little of both.

I think no one would trust an AI agent with access to things like changing people's passwords. And then it wouldn't be able to do huge blocks of the 99% either

Super Bowl-night ads will push BGE’s agenda to build and run power plants in Maryland Baltimore Gas and Electric has called on Maryland leaders to pass legislation allowing the utility to build and own power plants — an ask it’s underscoring with ads during NBC’s Olympics and Super Bow...

BGE bought a Super Bowl Ad to convince people that letting them charge customers for constructing new power plants will bring energy prices down.

Nice try. If they wanted to bring energy prices down, they wouldn't be paying for Super Bowl Ads!

Sounds like the letters are becoming vestigial and we're adjusting towards something like

90-100 percentile => "9", 80-89 percentile => "8", ...

Baltimore Banner prepared to double in size?

If it were unprofitable for him to falsify the reports, he probably wouldn't have. It doesn't seem very complicated.

It sounds like running a lead certification mill is a very good business with very little downside.

Depending on how large it is, I can probably do it if the issue is just that you aren't allowed to maintain your own source and it's fine for random other people to.

I think that's not very surprising? Good that it can be demonstrated though.

Use a sharper, more consistent flag for banner and favicon · Issue #2190 · uswds/uswds Transferred from #2033 to handle in-house. I think there are good arguments to make about how we display our flag. How do we best preserve the legibility of the flag at small sizes? It's impossible...

The nice thing about the 16x16 flag is the way that it displays when presented at 16x16. The normal flag is just a blur at that size.

There is a nice discussion of that here: github.com/uswds/uswds/...

Were you the one that made the little 16px US flag image? When I first saw that, I was like "how is that not a blurry mess!?"

The adjustments to the metrics are well done.

Google search for "Grizzly Bear" returns that it's the name of the protagonist of the Cartoon Network series, We Bare Bears.

There are pictures of Grizzly Bears above the answer.

Instructor who gave U of Oklahoma student a zero on anti-trans paper removed from teaching Graduate assistant Mel Curth found Samantha Fulnecky's paper unscientific and offensive in referring to trans people as "demonic."

I think this article is good. It provides a lot more information: www.advocate.com/news/transge...

In this article, the student was placed "on leave" instead of just having their TA responsibilities revoked.

I'm watching 12 Dogs of Christmas. The town has an evil mayor who banned dogs even though everyone in the town loves dogs so much that many are willing to start a compound where they can live freely with their dogs.

Who voted for the mayor?

It offered to award me so many papers because Matthew Thomas is a common name.

I worry about the bigger issue that Google will drop Scholar. I don't think it makes money, but most fields have no alternative.

Econ has repec. Hopefully we could flood resources there.
