This is so genius. I know this communal ownership is not really allowed anymore and the GB model is just grandfathered in, but I wonder if a co-op model is allowed?

I lived in two different East Side neighborhoods (the first on Rose). In both, there were at least three languages spoken on our block at all times. For a while on our current block we counted seven! Anyway, ICE isn't welcome here. Even our MAGA neighbor is bffs with the Mexican roofer neighbors.

For my money the pass was because of 1) hills and 2) triangles. Also, they may have made this choice before the election and I suspect Carter would be a huge "hell no" on this and the council would agree.

I will be screaming for road usage fees for these. Every road a toll road for these vehicles. Always, but most especially when no passenger is present.

True story though--Arabic has different numbers (but still base ten). I was so confused rolling up to freshman Arabic class and learning that, given what I had previously understood "Arabic numeral" to mean.

Pissing off the hometown by firing everyone was also cool and fun.

Counting down the days till that thing returns to the earth.

They should be charging them license/use fees for every minute on a public road. Whether or not they are carrying a paying passenger.

Of course, you would also be yelled at for biking on the road. Good times. I am so excited to have the city finish the planned connections to downtown. Though also so nervous that Her will slow/stop that progress. Let's get this done, folks!

I mean, snow is bad if you hate stillness and joy and actual real magic in the world.

I read this to my garbanzo-loving middle schooler and included the tidbit about 21g person/day. She wanted to estimate her lifetime grams. She estimates she has eaten 1,192,100 grams of garbanzos (132,455/yr, counting her lower intake early years). So that's the number to beat, folks. Go!

Good news: Canada has this train! Winnipeg to Churchill. Glass top even!

Ok. So. I just googled and I think I've figured out that Ryan Gosling is the good one? Does that sound correct?

Also a neat place to arrive by city bus! That weird liminal space with the picnic tables to the east of the bus area is one of my favorite places in the city.
