i started this train of thought as a joke but now i do think there's something to the idea that the way to sell the green revolution to the US public is that we're being denied Good Deals on cheap chinese cars and solar panels and there's nothing more unamerican than saying we can't have a good deal

Got a good job down at the Data Center. I work on the line, and it's hard work but it's honest and the wage is fair; my family and I are grateful for it. I rivet the word "absolutely" onto the little apologies that chatbots do when they misunderstand a prompt.

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."

This is not really surprising to me for a couple of reasons. First, as a bus operator, I see illegally parked UPS trucks all the time, e.g. in the bus zone front of the UPS store at Fillmore/Jackson. If the officers reviewing the tape from the buses are doing their jobs, those trucks are ...

I feel like this isn’t something you should have to advertise on a table topper. This tells me you get orders wrong at a sufficient rate for people to cynically expect it, and you’re trying to deter this impression.

Twice a year, Hawai'i experiences a strange moment where the sun appears to be exactly overhead & anything that is completely vertical casts no shadow. Let's learn about Lāhainā Noon, subsolar points & 'Kau ka lā i ka lolo', meaning "the sun rests on the brains."
