without getting into specifics of cookie policy (i dont know anything about it), i do appreciate the irony that me, a guy who wipes cookies daily+ on mobile, has to deal with these 100x as often as i would if i just accepted cookies, which the eu thinks is bad and i shouldn't

The punchline here, the "insiduous obstacle" of “having someone else to blame,” is applied vertically here (local v federal). And in the US it also applies horizontally: one of the big problems with the Senate is it kills so many things that other fed officials can claim to support things they don't

Possibly the first SB79 project in existence is a proposal to turn an old motel on .38 acres of land near the California Avenue Caltrain Station in Palo Alto into a 76 apartments. 200 units per acre, on a parcel where housing was not previously allowed. We absolutely love to see it!

My third watch and I'm stuck on "plastics." Jacob's plastic-wrap rear windshield, Hank sliding the leftover nye spaghetti into a plastic tub (plastic wrap seal), the plastic bag Hank shoves the decoy $500K into. Against the timber, brick and steel (rusting) of the town, the new stuff is all plastic.

ill go with the best candidate that i watched recently: "a simple plan" "this is the american dream!" "you work for the american dream. you don't steal it." "then this is even better."

How much of the effectiveness is that the results in published math cannot go stale, short of the rare(?) "the paper was incorrect" situation. Two correct math papers never disagree, and no future correct paper can come along and override them, so combining them is a simpler game.

I learned working at the cell phone service company: if the price spike sustains and many people upgrade to lower-memory phones, they will compensate with greater network usage. Save less stuff locally, stream it in on demand instead. This will make cell service provision (and so, bills?) costlier.
