What if you could load Laravel relations based on distance? (Come to #Laracon to find out 😉)
public function cell_towers()
{
  return new HasNear(
    $this,
    new CellTower(),
    new Distance(meters: 500)
  );
}

i think the big middle event between george floyd protests and covid that accelerated this hard right turn in elite circles was tech employees using slack to stage walk-outs and force concessions from management. tech bosses got a first whiff of organized labor's power and started reading mein kampf

all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard

Anyone have any idea why this would be happening? If I uncheck the * line height rule (that's crossed out in dev tools), the 1.5 rule magically works… (Happens in both Chrome and Safari.)
CSS:

* {
  line-height: 1.15;
}

.leading-normal {
  /* 😡 this is not applying */
  line-height: 1.5 !important;
}

HTML:

<div class="leading-normal">
    <p>
        This paragraph tag has a line-height of 1.15 :/
    </p>
    <p class="leading-normal">
        This paragraph tag ALSO has a line-height of 1.15 :/
    </p>
</div>Screen shot showing 1.15 line height rule is not applied per Chrome dev tools

Behave accordingly
The old ibm slide that originally said A COMPUTER

CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER

MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION

Except edited to say

A computer can never unionize therefore a computer is management

Earlier this year a local independent weekly got bought and the staff let go. I spent several hours yesterday exploring web crawling in an attempt to archive every article before the site inevitably disappears from the Internet forever.

Trump lost 3 million votes since 2020, Dems lost somewhere around 12 million votes. Every cycle they continue to trot out candidates who blatantly say to voters "we hear your concerns, we will not do anything about them, you must vote or fascism." Democrats want to win, but do not want to govern.

After finally getting the Bluesky socialite plugin working, @benholmen.com @skylerkatz.com + I discovered github.com/kawax — they have solved this & built a ton of other socialite integrations. Does anyone know who this person is? They have tons of packages, but I've never seen the name before.
