Pleased to report the Christmas cake was phenomenal so I’m gifting you all the recipe. I cut the sugar in both the filling and frosting by 50%, made the cake as written but subbing about 3Tbs of black cocoa for the regular mymessykitchenn.com/wprm_print/h...

OP is making a fair point about Waymo’s not knowing how to handle traffic light outages, but JFC look at all the humans in the rightmost left turn lane (there are indeed two) WHO SHOULD BE TREATING THIS AS A STOP SIGN! WTF is wrong with SF drivers?
This failed Waymo robot is in the ONLY left turn lane on Market St eastbound in downtown, forcing everyone to go around it on the right to make the left:
Market at Franklin, San Francisco
Good thing there are human drivers who can handle a power outage.

OK now that I see, I just want to say if there's really a +10 to +15 swing this next election, the newly gerrymandered map may be more to our liking than the old gerrymandered map. Supreme Court still sucks ass, but I would love to see them accidentally fucking themselves like it seems they may do

The idea that a £2500 charge will push someone who owns a £2mm home into financial ruin is hilarious and delusional
Homeowners living in properties worth more than £2m will pay thousands of pounds more in tax each year after the chancellor unveiled plans for a new mansion tax
