@LeeKuanYimby @JeremiahDJohns The grad students pushed for more aggressive leadership in uaw that broke the peace between the automakers and the workers. Workers got a better deal in 2023 but as a result the big four focused on expensive high margin SUVs and are caught flat footed by BYD and cheap EVs abroad

@ClwnPrncCharlie Have you seen drop dead city? Great doc on the subject.

[Frank Vampire @NoDi_Guy]

@MattZeitlin I do wonder why rooftop solar isn’t pursued further. Wouldn’t it make sense on these hot sunny days?

I looked it up and the city had already installed 8 GW capacity. Sheesh

@atlanticesque PNW is heaven on earth mid-march through mid-October but then there is the Long Dark and Big Grey

@Eric_Erins @atlanticesque Seattle and Portland both have nice urban neighborhoods. Seattle is better at connecting those disparate neighborhoods with high quality transit

@ShahedVictim @cszabla What is it?

[Frank Vampire @NoDi_Guy]

@readingthetl @cszabla Well sure, reviews can influence whether someone will go and watch a movie. But so does word of mouth. The same thing doesn’t exist for books as much anymore. Sure there are best of lists and book clubs, but when is the last time a coworker recommended a book to you?

@MourningScholar Counterpoint: F-22 pilots getting “raptor cough” as a result of hypoxia from faulty oxygen systems on the aircraft. Sort of a Faustian bargain: you get to fly the the pinnacle of military aviation, but that it takes and it takes from you

@bigseb31213 Problem with these literary magazines is that 1,000 people would lick the floor to do this job for free and that there are only so many New York aristocrats willing to bankroll a prestige project that certainly looses money

@LionelBarrow Glad he is overseeing someone with the experience of managing a $15 million dollar budget to oversee a $1.5 billion dollar budget

@ThinkFinance999 @martian_lore They don’t have seating because that is the entrance before you proceed to your gate. There is also seating in the entrance not visible in the picture
