It's a hard thing to find space for in a small plex, but I agree. We need to normalize point access block stacked plexes just so we can have small first-floor bike garages!
I'm in the front unit of a quadplex. Nowhere to store my bike except inside. Neighbors have a great spot in their side yard!

The bike storage in these things is a real problem :( I don't know what the solution is! It's hard to imagine a useful middle ground between "apartment-style common bike room" and "garage" that doesn't eat a ton of space.

I believe I've seen someone on my college campus walking around with some sort of CD player (which I am too young to recognize - walkman?) rocking these headphones or something like them. the colors & shape seem familiar. they look like airplane headphones to me

Nordic system (or at least Danish with which I am most familiar) seems like a good balance, since it gives both employers and employees high flexibility while providing enough unemployment support to force employers to stay attractive to workers. entitlement fights are still unpleasant, I hear.

bro literally wrote the book on the center-liberal pro-immigration platform. wild how that went 180

Thank you!

Where is this one?

The other version of this: 'I marched for civil rights and to end the Vietnam war. I am a genuine American hero. I want nothing more in life than to ensure no homes are ever built near me again.'

If I remember right they published a recent article on this where they explicitly called out CA's ADU reform as something to be emulated. I got the impression most of this was aimed at states that haven't bothered to try that hard yet

wouldn't actually work! a three-service, multinational program of this scale just costs a lot. any megaproject costs a lot and takes longer than expected, and the F-35 dwarfs every other procurement project in history.
I'm not surprised to see this take, but I'm still disappointed. 2/2

The myth of the broken F-35 was really dubiously true even when the plane had problems. It's the classic open beta situation - it struggled in development, but delays and cost overruns are largely a fact of life and no one other than David Axe and some congresspeople ever thought the plane 1/2

Jesus christ. sometimes i forget how insane this setting is and then you come out with the seabase as wide as a Cleveland and heavier than the Golden Gate Bridge

Oh interesting. Do you have anything to recommend for reading on the Skyline fights? I'd never heard of this and the right of way on that thing really demands an explanation!

yes! i read ecotopia recently and i was weirded out to discover the pinnacle of their urban transportation was trams. a very 20th century utopia to deliberately slow people down for aesthetic reasons!

That in particular is such a baffling take because it shows interest in local issues like housing but not enough interest to understand how city government works at so much as the Ron Swanson level

this is an xkcd 2071 moment for me.

Privatization of services is privatization, whether it's to a non-profit or a for-profit!
