Agamemnon spent the entire movie aura farming and I’m here for it.

As much as I feel like the “I hate paying taxes and have no other political opinions” set of conservatives hold open the door for actual right-wing extremists and should therefore be subject to some derision, I gotta admit the giant gong was really funny.

We’re inching closer to “Superlative Rail”

It's just missing one thing...

A screenshot of a queue on the AMC website which says "You are now in line -- more than an hour" but with the progress bar replaced with the "walking guy" progress bar from the MTG secret lair website.

Just like “cities are dangerous because XYZ”, “single-payer healthcare is more expensive BUT it has these advantages…”, etc.

This is one of those cases where oftentimes you can get caught up debating the details (“is oligopoly the reason X is more expensive in Canada”) that one can miss the more fundamental question (“is X actually more expensive in Canada”)

So while you might take 1-2 extra stops to charge, your charging breaks mostly overlap with your existing meal breaks. And if you’re going to sleep, you can charge overnight and probably be at parity with a gas car.

It’s 17.3hr drive from Toronto to Halifax (Google Maps). ABRP our Bolt EV can get there in <24 hours including charging breaks, or 24.5 hours if your battery is mostly dead when you depart.

I should just carry around business cards at this point

Just realized that yesterday’s Pedestrian Summit TO was probably my best chance to ask someone IRL to follow me on Bluesky after an event. Normally people ask for IG/Discord which I barely use, so I totally forgot to mention Bluesky when the time came…

Bay Area cities used COVID to _accelerate_ their street pedestrianization efforts: Start an outdoor dining pilot (because COVID) -> people like it -> extend the pilot to 5 years, overlap consultations with the pilot -> install more temporary fixtures and public art -> eventually make it permanent

If they fully pedestrianize and green the street they might risk creating an environment.

The flip side is the public consultation/open house for the MTSA/PMTSA zoning update which was so narrow that I struggled to say anything in-scope. How many methodologies can there be for determining a 500m radius around a building and what does it matter which one the city picks?

No Other Choice is fantastic

Your entire logistic storage is also full of thousands of seeds. I think you can burn them?

Interesting! It seems that this vacancy rate only includes houses on the market: “These statistics only include vacant dwellings that are available on the market.” Using the numbers from Ray’s video the comparable for the US would be ~2.5% ((#for rent + # for sale)/total housing stock).
