A worse user experience with higher resource usage. Yay. Can't wait. I guess they need a reason to sell more powerful phones?

A BART train can hold 2000 people and you can run 30 of them per hour in each direction.
A bus-only lane can run 120 buses per hour, 50 passengers per bus, 6000 passengers per hour...

The source for the quote is this 2020 interview, which doesn't mention that the girl is the band's bassist: thisent.com/john-popper-...

This 2012 interview with the band's guitarist identifies Felicia, and says that she and Popper are "still very close": www.songfacts.com/blog/intervi...

When I first heard of Flip 7, I realized that it's an expanded version of the game Pairs by James Ernest.

Coincidentally, Pairs decks are 75% off over at Greater Than Games. 😀
Pairs: Deluxe Edition
Pairs: Deluxe Edition includes a brand-new fruit deck illustrated in a fun retro style and a Pairs Companion booklet with over 30 games and variants, including The Judge, Deadfall, Hawthorn, and more!...

As others have already pointed out, Warren and the people of Massachusetts know that billionaires will *not* flee. Two years after a tax on incomes over $1m, "the number of ultra-wealthy residents in Massachusetts … has actually grown since 2022, from 1,954 to 2,642 in 2024", a 35% increase.
Not fleeing: New report shows more wealthy residents in Mass., 2 years into 'millionaire's tax'
Despite previous concerns, Massachusetts' "millionaire's tax" hasn't seemed to deter high-earners from continuing to live here, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.

Nice lifesaver plant! Does it smell? I have a stapelia paniculata that makes little purple starfish flowers, but thankfully no carrion scent like most stapelias.
