Every time some free parking in this city is on deck to be removed, they always seem to find some whining schmuck who had already manufactured for themself the most financially and temporally inefficient commute known to man.

Screenshot of a section of a Gothamist article titled:

Parts of Manhattan to sacrifice 10% of street parking as NYC installs new trash bins

The pictured section reads as follows:

Upper West Sider Ella Darling was one of those frustrated drivers last week after driving 45 minutes from Hoboken, where she works as a pharmaceutical sales representative, to her home. She couldn't find a legal space, so ended up parking in a no-parking zone on West 85th Street.

"There's not really any accessible parking for drivers, and it's only getting worse as the city gets more popular," she said.

Hi I’m the new ceo of the cake company. I’ve looked at the finances and I’ve seen that we spend almost all of our money on making our cakes, yet we actually only earn money *selling* our cakes. Therefore, we should stop making our cakes and only sell our cakes going forward.

I'm playing Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals, a classic RPG for the SNES. While updating my party's equipment, I noticed some...odd...text mistakes. Hilariously, changing the name in an equipment slot doesn't fully replace the old name; it pastes over top of it. These look like verb conjugations!

Screenshot of the equipment menu from Lufia II for the SNES. The equipment list reads as follows:

Long knifed
Coath armor
Power brace
Headbandlmet
No equiping
Horse rock

WOW. Amazing progress tonight on practicing MM8. I'd been stuck for a couple weeks on merely *surviving* Wily 1 (you know, the SLEDDING stage). Then I decided to try *even harder* to show off. Which somehow made the stage...almost easy? I'm never playing it the normal way again. Onto Wily 2!

Was curious about my follow space. It’s interesting to see the cluster and outliers. Since it’s based on who follows you vs who you follow, I’m guessing my position is that I’m followed mostly by people who don’t follow many other people, even if a couple of them are in these denser clusters.

A screenshot of the quoted web app, with various people I follow highlighted. There is a clear main cluster in the bottom left, with my account distantly to the right.
