I understand the sentiment of folks seeing the bike infrastructure and feeling like it’s the culprit of their neighborhood changing. But gentrification has often deeper causes, such as a lack of affordable housing in a region, leading to middle class folks to look for housing in low-income areas

I can’t wait for the trail extension up to Deer Creek Reservoir!

- planets around fast rotating stars

- planets around pulsating variable stars
-- planets that affect the pulsation of their parent star

- by density
-- planets denser than iron
-- planets denser than water
-- super-puffs
-- rocky worlds too dense for chemical rockets to reach escape velocity

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.

The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

I cannot overstate how it enrages me that I, a driver of a car, seem to be among a dwindling number of drivers who devote their full attention to driving the car.

I understand what my responsibilities are when operating a 2-ton machine which can kill people and I take them life-and-death seriously.
