TIL she's still alive! It's always a shock to realize how recent this history is.
The day I realized that Ruby Bridges' school integration was only 15 years before I was born, and that she was still around—and far younger than my parents—was an eye opener

If everyone just stayed home for 4 weeks, we'd all emerge and think, "wow! we overreacted." But that's the best case scenario/as it should be.
I wish that everyone else had the luxury to stay home

The wikipedia entry for Pine Bluff includes, "Pine Bluff is the tenth-largest city in the state of Arkansas ..." and I lost it.
Who counts the relative sizes of cities in Arkansas? If my memory serves me, Little Rock is around the size of a large college town.

$25 mil per annum/$500 mil rider revenue per annum is .5%. 1 person per 200 person train on any given route. For an enforcement officer to find that one person, they'll spend more in time than the $3.67 average fare evaded

week 2 was particularly rough for me, because I was doing precisely that, and also experiencing a sense of "don't they _get_ it?!" about friends/acquaintainces talking about how "in a couple of weeks when we se each other ..."
The circle of life…
A cheetah is enjoying a fresh kill but vultures are standing by.
Every time the cheetah turns around to start eating again, the vultures move-in closer.
Finally the cheetah gives up but before the vultures get to eat, a lion swoops in to steal the kill.

Even assuming that each curb takes 2 hours to prep and another 2 hours to paint, i.e. only 2 curbs could get done by a single crew in a workday, there's gotta be at least 50 available crews to do this. Assuming interruptions, etc.: it could all get done in under a month

@LibbySchaaf
You're totally right. The development at North Berkeley needs to be _far more dense_ since it's so much closer to SF, downtown Berkeley, and even downtown Oakland than Coliseum Station is.

My neighbor told me about the "21-story apartment tower" they were planning on building next to our neighboring

station. She went on for a while and I was thinking about how great it sounded.
"We have to stop it!"
That is the precise moment at which I was radicalized.

I'd written an article about something early-modern Spanish; the reviewer commented that I clearly had taken only a couple years of high school Spanish. It's my native language and at that point I'd spent 2 years in Spanish archives reading early-modern stuff.
This minute and thirty three seconds of pure gold has now compensated for those horrible two minutes and twenty seconds that were stolen from me the other day.

Wait I would imagine that even if the family switched, they wouldn't involve non-family in the switch. And this is ... complete plates of food? Not, like: a calamari appetizer or something?
I'd be forever traumatized by something like that

I have the crown bundt pan and I love how it gives you crispy edges plus slice sizing guidelines. If I had to flee the house but could inexplicably take one awkwardly-shaped, single-purpose item that's not a necessity: this would be it

This is the beginning of a reasonable path forward. Glad to see a major org acknowledge that requiring a $1500+ buy-in for candidates to just be able to get themselves physically to a conference keeps academia inaccessible to people without independent wealth.

When I moved to the Bay Area in 1998, two things that random housemates said that I initially thought were trolling:
a) that BART stopped running at midnight,
b) that there was no space for more people, because it was already "built out" here

I read an article somewhere recently that kept talking about "full-time" professors and it was about halfway through that I realized that the writer had misunderstood the term "full" professor and that no one in an editing function had understood it either

One way to solve this: prohibitively high taxes on non-primary residences, and a universal downpayment assistance program so everyone who wants to own their house/apartment can

@SFBART
Stations should have all of the following:
a) plenty of housing
b) a place to get snacks/coffee
c) a library kiosk or book machine
d) a place to get your bicycle fixed
e) secure, safe bike parking
f) bus/connected transit stops
These will all make

This is for an engineering role? That's illegally low in California. Legal minimum for a salaried software engineer in CA is $94,603.25 (I love how the .25 is in there ...)
East Bay: if you're looking for a small studio to rent super-close to BART and everything Temescal offers, lmk. Upstairs from us. $1250 plus PG&E. Free laundry and we promise to not raise the rent for at least 2 years (haven't raised it in 5+).

I wish we could get a month's worth. Our limiting factor is milk: two gallons gets us _maybe_ 12 days, and then after that we add another day or so with a can of evaporated. So we end up alternating a big run with a dairy run.

In grad school, there was a dinner with both professors and grad students (not any sort of official event, so everyone expected to pay their way.) One of the professors got drinks, appetizer, dessert, and was then the person to suggest that the bill should be split evenly.
