Penned by Karin Larsen, a sports reporter. I wonder if this is in her neighborhood and she likes to go fast.

But honestly, a good temporary strategy. These barriers are a stop-gap measure to slow down cars, but they aren’t good urban planning. What they do well is disrupt the norm and look ugly. It gets people on board for when a good plan comes along. I’ve seen it happen in my city over and over again. What I don’t know is if the city planners are fully aware of the strategy.

“On Monday, Queensland will become one of the first jurisdictions in the world to require a driver’s licence to ride an ebike in public.”

Stumblin!

You sly dog.

Here’s a link to the novel if you’re interested: https://a.co/d/01DIl9oB

“Companies are looking to slowly chip away at the burden of choice that comes with shopping, travel, and dining.”

Ugh.

When evolution says “no notes.”

I am in construction (not manufacturing) and own my own business. Truth is, they are both right.

Rodney is right because there are a huge number of variables that the prof’s equation is ignoring. Also, it is generally a good idea to know what you are manufacturing and work to produce that product as efficiently as possible. The professor is sort of putting the cart before the horse by building a factory with no product.

That said, we are in a learning environment and seemingly in a lower-level class. You have to strip away real-world variables to teach the lessons at hand. The professor is right not to include corrupt politicians and mafia folk, it’s too much when you are trying to start with the basics. But he should’ve had the class decide on a product - he said it himself, it could be anything - and then build up from there.

Mafia payoffs are a 300 level course.

I use Recipe Keeper for Android. It converts pics, text and URLs to recipes, has a shopping list function, and is a 1-time purchase after the 1st 20 recipes you store. It’s also very simple - does everything I need and nothing I don’t.

I call all of it “sugar water” so that my kids know the two main ingredients.

From SCOTUSblog,

“Based on two words separated by 16 others in … IEEPA—‘regulate’ and ‘importation’—the President asserts the independent power to impose tariffs on imports from any country, of any product, at any rate, for any amount of time,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote. “Those words,” he continued, “cannot bear such weight.” “IEEPA,” Roberts added, “contains no reference to tariffs or duties.” Moreover, “until now no President has read IEEPA to confer such power.”

“Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the main dissent, which was joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.”

Fortnite? My kids don’t play it anymore, I don’t know.

This is for the 30-55 year old demo, for sure. Young enough that you had to learn to keep pace with technology and old enough that devices your kids use are mostly plug and play. Bit at what cost? AT WHAT COST?

That can’t be true, it’s just for satire, right? Right?

Woo-oooo-oo-ould.

Those of us possibly even older may point to the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine in '87. From Wikipedia, the fairness doctrine “required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that fairly reflected differing viewpoints.” In short, it’s repeal paved the way for Fox News and led all the way to CBS under Weiss.

But to your point, there are 3 things on my platform that I tell anyone who wants to hear it. 3 actionable items:

1. Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.
2. Repeal the Patriot Act.
3. Overturn Citizens United.

I didn’t say it would be easy.

I agree, which is why I don’t see why people are saying the answer is 16. You add in the parentheses, you multiply, then you divide. The answer is 1.

This left-to-right business linked below is complete nonsense when it comes to equations. That’s how westerners read books, but not how math is communicated. Am I that old? Like Mr. Incredible said, did they change math!?!

Luckovich is a badass.
