Good summary. Happy to see the majority of the council represent their constituents over capital.

Pretty sure it’s iOS 3 or earlier

No, they are unfixable. Suburban infrastructure costs far more to maintain than the tax and fee revenues it generates.

Wasn’t too bad! Tons of turbulence actually, hah.

“Got to learn how to do this sober” is exactly what I settled on too. And really, it seemed like the flight went quicker not being hyper aware of hunting down the flight attendants for another round.

The hardest part was my solo dinner ponied up to a bar, but NA Guinness has been working well. Thanks for the story!

139 days in and now I have to fly for a work trip. As we all know, flying and work trips are potent triggers. I feel resolute though. My world is just now starting to feel bigger and full of possibilities. If I drink, my world will shrink right back down. Screw that. IWNDWYT!

Minimal. Much quieter than a Model 3.

Crabs in a bucket.

In the past, happiness across the adult lifespan took on a “U-shaped” curve. Young adults were among the most content with their lives, happiness dipped in middle age and then rose again among older adults. In recent years, this decades-old curve has shifted into a straight, upward line. Older adults remain happy, and middle age remains middling, but young adults are now less happy than either group.

Yeah, we know why. Decades of reduced social investment at the behest of a incredibly large and selfish cohort that is remaining in power far longer than any generation before them.

Thanks for posting. I’m now at 108 days. I can confirm that drinking “responsibly” was far more work than not drinking at all. I started journaling my random thoughts about drinking (which still happen) and still refer back to entries I made in the first few weeks. They remind me where I was and why I don’t want to go back to square one. IWNDWYTT!

Appreciate you evangelizing for dry herb vaping. It’s mind blowing to me that more people haven’t made the switch. I haven’t convinced a single of my local friends after doing it myself for 10 years and sharing it with them. Probably should just give them my old vapes.

Haha holy shit, this made me realize I do that all day everyday. It really is a reflex from the 90s and serves zero purpose.

 

Last year, lawmakers recriminalized drug possession, a swift reversal just as Measure 110-funded programs were starting to demonstrate their impact.

Some of the funding for the new treatment and recovery services has, for now, remained intact, with innovative programs chipping away at the crisis, though with reduced resources. The Guardian visited organizations across the state that are successfully turning people’s lives around, meeting with people who have, against steep odds, found recovery.

 

In experiments at Stanford University, chemists discovered that microdroplets in fine sprays of water generate streaks of “microlightning”. When surrounded by the right mix of gases, these sparks power chemical reactions that synthesise many molecules for life.

Prof Richard Zare, a chemist who led the team, said: “This is a real contribution to understanding how you can go from non-life to life. You have water sprays all over the place, particularly around rocks, and there are crevices in rocks where these chemicals can accumulate.”
