@half_bill damn! that's pretty good; I hover around 900--1050 depending on how well I'm eating

@AtlantaBeltline @ThreadATL Specialty tour for whom? Who's allowed to break the rules, with a police escort? Shame on all y'all

The most recent update from @ATLWatershed on what is now a citywide water crisis that began nearly 24 hours was 10 hours ago.

@mwgarbett Landlords get their rent anyway, small businesses get eaten up.

[collision @scottmcollison]

@mwgarbett My gut-take is that food halls are bad for the businesses that rent stalls. They rarely draw enough traffic to keep every stall busy. The Southern Feed Store in EAV has burned through three tenants in a short time. Seems like only chains (Woody's, here) can survive.

@falsehemlock I went to see them recently, mostly for hurray for the riff raff opening, and it was so sad watching the band just holding on and praying that Conor wouldn’t fall over on stage

@dinosaur_info maybe they spent a lot on dope worm shots that didn't quite work and had to be cut--would've been better to delay the release and get those right.

[collision @scottmcollison]

@dinosaur_info I cannot fathom why that shot got used like 4 times!

[collision @scottmcollison]

@dinosaur_info it felt like a very expensive product that could have been great and was cut up into a failure in the edit.

[collision @scottmcollison]

@dinosaur_info omg this was my reaction exactly; much of the storytelling was attempted via montage and voiceover, Chalamet is unconvincing as a teenager, nobleman, messiah, and knifefighter, and the psychedelic revelations that should be the hinges for the plot fall flat

@bentarnoff holy shit, is that Martin Luther quotation real?

@karlbykarlsmith @Neuro_Skeptic You miss my point. Global weather is a helpful analogy. To accurately simulate weather, one would have to measure every square meter of the atmosphere. We have good weather models that are still frequently inaccurate. As Borges put it, ‘the map is not the territory’

[collision @scottmcollison]

@Neuro_Skeptic agree—but a completely accurate simulation of a living brain is not possible. The relevant spatial and temporal scales are so small that one would just have to build another brain. The structure of the brain is orders of magnitude more complex than global weather

@michael_nielsen Hume, Kant, Nietzsche... any philosopher that people still write about, that literature has adopted a convention for referring to a standard edition of the text. A lot of Nietzsche's work can be referred to by chapter and verse, as it were.

@lastpositivist literally everyone agrees

@ProfSchuman @JohnFPfaff Here to recommend the Mutter Museum; very close to Rittenhouse and wholly underrated.

@ibogost I'm in it too but my folks were late adopters on technology. I don't think I ever had to use a rotary phone, though.

Welp. I finally figured out why billionaires and millionaires care so much about charter schools they’ll never send their kids to…

@lastpositivist @nescio13 had an open-plan grad student office and it was impossible to get anything done there. be thankful for your real offfices!
