My kiddo will be rowing at the national championship later this week.

His team getting there is even more rare than you might think.

Want to help a David take on 15 Goliaths?

A quick share will help! Thanks.

@qikipedia Would love to see the geography associated with the various (mostly wrong) answers.

I don’t care how MAGA you are today. I don’t care how MAGA you will be. At some point, it won’t be enough, and you will either be the next group to lose your livelihood and rights, or you will have no remaining empathy.

That’s the definition of evil.

And it’s driving your bus.

@the_transit_guy We need to approach the concept of infill development differently. Pure housing projects are seen as diluting existing home values. If we started by bringing value to the community (and not just more people) and build housing attached to that value? Maybe a way forward?

@the_transit_guy I legit want to host a summit here for railtown mayors and planners to see what TOD and accessibility can be.

@the_transit_guy I’m with you, Hayden. Particularly on HSR. There’s a window of opportunity that is only open to a wildcard like him.

@alanthefisher @sturmovikdragon My understanding is that existing case law (SCOTUS denial of cert in Ohio case earlier this year) suggests there may not be a way to approach other than with carrots.

@the_transit_guy It looks like a mess, but they’re all part of a solid network of just 9 COGs. Makes it a bit easier to manage.

@SteveOnSpeed IMHO Because you can’t hot-swap the batteries as they do in India. If it only took a few minutes to get a full battery we’d be lining up to drive electric.

Imagine if the organizations that made the products that led the opioid epidemic or lung cancer did this voluntarily.

That’s okay, I can’t imagine it either.

If you bought this platypus, I am sorry.

From the bottom of my heart, I fucked up.

@jahorne @trainlovers4HW @saaaauuull Honest question: Other than the broad “Trump Train” movement, are there any rail-related groups advocating for 45? All the mentions of “Trump Train” make it hard to find anything about rail support pertaining to his campaign.

[Tate Linden @TateLinden]

@NASAaero Yes, but why are they modeling airflow with the engines *off*?

Y’all need to put ADHD trigger warnings when you collab like this @memecrashes & @TerribleMaps

[Tate Linden @TateLinden]

Well, there goes my day.

@memecrashes I spent 15 minutes of my life thinking about this problem, you SOB.

I think the only non-zero area shape for which your statement is true at all conceivable scales would have to be a fractal land mass, where no matter how much you zoomed in you would never have space.

@kyledcheney Fun Fact: The DNI was originally discussed as the “National Intelligence Director,” but they realized that “The NID” lacked a certain gravitas.

@LegalLumberjack And for criminal courts, anyone who has a spouse or parent in law enforcement of any kind. I’ve been through selection three times. Bounced by the defense every time, despite stating I’ve known LEOs who seem less ethical than the public they serve. 🤷
