The continual wilful abdication of responsibility by government up and down the scale is what left the door open for companies like Jacobs and Veolia and Evoqua to walk right in

In my AI class today I'm going to try to convince my students that super intelligence has already arrived, far surpassed humanity, already rules the world with humans doing its will and it is not a computer, it is corn

Halloween is one of the deadliest days of the year for American children, as violent drivers mow them down, with impunity, across the country. It's pathetic that most cities won't follow what Mayor Mamdani is doing, but it says a lot about the values of the typical U.S. Mayor.

i think it’s like super ideal for welders to become civil engineers and for hairstylists to become social workers, by the way, social mobility is great and we need more white collar workers who have some fucking perspective on life. but our systems are NOT set up for that. at all.

My dog wouldn’t quit bothering me on the couch so I told him to go into his place so I could have some peace. The obstinate asshole did not do that so he’s now in the kitchen laying quietly instead.

I have been saying this for years. "Drinking the Kool-Aid" sounds a lot less funny/pithy when you realize over 300 people who died there were under eighteen and 150 of them were ten years old and younger.

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

I keep seeing this Semafor graph that seems to show the Trump administration’s effect on international visits is comparable to the pandemic. My first thought was “that can’t be true” and indeed it is not. This is monthly data. We only have to Jun/Aug 2026. The lines are over-fitted to the months.
Semafor graph with catastrophic drops.

Has there been a period of high inflation where average expenditures per household haven’t increased by a lot? I’d think a savings rate or expenditures beyond basic needs would be more telling about the state of the economy.

”You see an acceleration in the hydroclimate cycle overall. You see more extreme precipitation when it is raining and more extreme evaporation when it is not, simply by virtue of the temperature being higher than it used to be.” @weatherwest.bsky.social said
A sponge over plants in soil illustrates how the amount of water vapor the atmosphere can hold has increased by 7% with 1 degree Celsius of temperature rise

Aquifers derive their water from recharge. It’s still a water balance problem except we have less of an idea of the balance in large artesian sources and we know the level is regularly falling. There must be a way to manage the system.

Yeah. I’m in the Great Lakes region and we’re more concerned with maintaining the water balance.

Yeah. I almost forgot about almonds being an issue in the last decade. Have you found any good papers on solving the aquifer depletion problem? All I hear about are the quick fixes and I’m not close enough to the problem to speak intelligently about it.

So is alfalfa not a big depleter of pumped aquifer water like we’ve been led to believe?

yes, i am saying this. literally this. i am saying that you should not care about water for 16,000 people when "growing alfalfa for export in deserts with approximately zero precipitation" is literally orders of magnitude more water and vastly more pointless.

That’s cool. I probably met him. It’s a really small field. We discussed that stuff in the intro classes but it’s wasn’t formal. More of a “here’s what we used to do, now it’s time to discuss pumps and pipe.”

I was a non-traditional student, which may have influenced things but my AP credits weren’t worth the paper they were printed on and I went to a large state school.

I can’t speak for programmers but in civil engineering we had to take a couple survey classes of general history (which is whatever the prof wanted to discuss). After that history got squeezed into the ethics conversations when discussing public safety and past catastrophes.

My five year old has the soul of Orson Welles. We were outside school and he 'put a kiss in my pocket for later.' Extremely touched by this, I gave him two back. He dug out the second one, THEATRICALLY CRUSHED IT IN HIS FIST and said 'one is enough.'

Is the issue that there isn’t a vent anywhere or that NYC code specifically wants a wall vent for the toilet? I always thought vent stacks were needed somewhere to prevent airlock and vacuum.

If you think Trump is such a dumpster fire that the GOP is fucked beyond 2028, you don't understand the American electorate. They will forget and give the Republicans another chance unless we do something *structural* to prevent that from happening
