Please adopt this dog so my wife does not. No, I do not live anywhere near you, but that will not stop her.

(also post pictures, please)

On the bright side they just put in wonderful traffic calming updates at 18th and Wabash.

Ironic, because just this morning I had to jump the curb with my kids stroller because someone had fully blocked the crosswalk.

I guess it’s nice to know it’s worse other places!

Oh, I didn’t think it was a mistake! They’ve done stuff like that before. Like we used to be gerrymandered into different wards.

The possibility of an ~immediate pretty good answer breaks most people’s mental model for tradeoffs between speed and quality.

I’m only slowly starting to come around to how useful a mostly right answer right now can be even if it’s just a stepping stone.

365 in my personal vault and 163 in my work vault. Main differences I use a weekly note system for personal and a daily note System for work.

I’ve never forgiven Gov. Scott Walker for returning the Obama era federal grants they had to construct a rail line from Madison to Chicago
