One of the few apps that still feels like magic.

Environmental reviews are cheap. Time to wait for the bureaucrats though…

How much cost inflation has occurred since this project was initially budgeted? A lot.

Same.

At first I loved the bucolic setting but very quickly the high pitched whine and fast pace got me annoyed and actively seeking change.

Very dissappointed with how the car handles underwater, topping out at a meager 20 mph.

I'd have been happy with a slow drive, as advertised.

Australia exported its 3rd largest wheat harvest in 2022.

When someone makes a claim like that and the facts are so glaring it makes me skeptical.

Same. Is there not a reductionism for memories, which is what I believe at least partially defines who I am and probably greatly impacts my choices?

Getting sued to fall under govt regulation - and therefore gaining imprimatur - seems like exactly what these exchanges should want.

We never regulated Beanie Babies.

Side effect.

From the shooter’s perspective it would be much easier to cause mass casualties with everyone standing up instead of hugging the contours of the ground. Zero warning is the goal.

That first part is fine. Killing risk is key.

But within 24 hours we had VCs from Founder’s Fund and the All In podcast personas who intentionally and knowingly fueled a panic on social media.

That panic was designed to benefit them and it worked, to the detriment of everyone reading this who has a deposit at a US bank, and who will now be assessed a fee to cover the cost.

Having grown up in Cupcake Land it’s still accurate.

A sizable proportion of the kids I went to HS with are living exactly this life, dressing exactly this way. I found it to be incredibly stifling and yet also, a comfort to be so boring.

I’ve never heard it described as Cupcake Land, but “JoCo” or Johnson County. Inside of which it’s residents referred jokingly to other adjacent counties as being “North of the Wall”.

It is one the starkest contrasts in county and school district wealth vs neighboring areas.

I don’t think a bust is coming to Cupcake Land this time. Sitting on multiple big rail lines, I-35, I-70, and the Missouri while reshoring is happening. Tied closely to healthcare, but not the tech industry.

Cupcake Land is sounding rather attractive.

You ignore the benefits of taxation.

Now would be a good time for the regulators to acknowledge that yes, Adobe is a monopoly, and to block this.
