No, it's good, because they are much safer than human drivers.

Yes, but they're much safer than human drivers, so it'll improve safety overall.

Hah, we were just talking about how the adjacent tennis courts make the playgrounds at Hiawatha and Whale Tail Park much more usable on early winter sunset afternoons, thanks to their giant lights.

I've never heard of fair share laws.

I don't care about confounding or the pathway. I just like the cause and effect.

Oohhh! I thought that was some weird reflection of the sunset arcing across somehow. It was beautiful though!

Worked like a charm to lower my BP. My PCP was not surprised at all. She thought it was just a side effect of the BMI drop though.

Cathy Moore on city council in Seattle also comes to mind. She said a lot of the right things on the campaign trail then seemed totally shocked and outraged by what the comp plan amendment process to upzone Seattle actually meant; got incredibly offended at being called a NIMBY, and quit.

I get the strong sense a lot of old-fashioned urban Democrats don't take upzoning seriously, or don't think people like Lurie really mean it. They're just like "yeah sure we should let there be more homes. As long as it's done in a way that respects neighborhoods etc. etc. [a bunch of caveats]"

The unspoken but well understood assumption is that Trump will be easily swayed by the last guy to talk to him, like a gullible toddler, especially if the latest guy brings visual aids as props.

Wow. I wouldn't be surprised if tirzepatide holds its own against naltrexone.
My experience on sema is actually like a mild form of how I've heard naltrexone makes you feel... For me it's all the downsides of booze but very little of the upside/buzz.

And this is not remotely accounted for in any measures of real income growth I've seen. Mortgage interest and home prices are excluded. The closest proxy is owner's equivalent rent, which is only up 30% since the pandemic.

Lmao he's continuing his attempt to seem erudite by spouting off about this shit, all to try to prove Joyce Carol Oates wrong.

With international spillovers! Rightwing nutjobs like Bibi and Putin launch brutal wars of conquest / annihilation -> more votes for right-wing parties in the US and Europe.

Do I count 4 lights in a row that are all out?

Thanks. Yeah seems like the consensus is about 6000-6500 untouched ballots plus 1700-2000 signature-challenged.

Ah, Mike Baker says there might be 8,120 left to count, including a big chunk with signature challenges. This is insanely close.

Based on the ballot-processing data, there appears to be 8,120 votes ballots left to count for the city.
But of those, there are signature challenges on 1,703 of them. This race could be decided on which voters get their signature problems resolved.

Yeah, so this is just disingenuous selective re-telling. Dude sucks.

I wonder if that "10,000 remaining" estimate will shrink. They counted 3,277 more ballots today than they had estimated (35k) when they said 10,000 earlier, so it might stand to reason there's only like 6,723 ballots remaining to count...

Yeah. So it's extra disingenuous to selectively highlight certain assets like that. Dude sucks.
