LA to Vegas is the busiest flight corridor in the US.

It's not clear to me what happened with RoR today. So they released this, which is a remaster of the original with some new content, and they announced a DLC for 2, and they also announced a gacha game or something?

The Guardian is a UK publication.

The coldest temperature ever recorded in the UK is -27. That's right around the inflection point for where heat pumps become less efficient than electric heaters. Until the gulf stream fails, the UK is pretty safe to use heat pumps everywhere.

I'm a Berkeley alum and the counterpoint is that, while People's Park is some (relatively) rare green space near downtown Berkeley, it has been, for the past 20 years, solely the domain of the homeless, drug-addicted, and mentally unwell. It's not usable public space for most residents. You cannot have a peaceful picnic in People's Park. The housing proposal included a facility to house and offer services for homeless people, to its credit.

I have mixed feelings about it being turned into housing, but it was unusable as a park and Berkeley has a severe housing shortage. Only freshmen* are guaranteed on-campus housing, a large fraction of the housing in town is owned and operated by a convicted human trafficker, and there was a highly-publicized story about a student who recently completed his degree by living in SoCal and flying to Berkeley a few times a week. The situation is quite dire and Berkeley is really doing quite well when it comes to not having surface parking. There are a couple of lots near the football stadium that are surface lots, but most everything else is a parking structure, usually with an activated roof of some sort.

yeah but now he's just a guy in a spare bedroom with 4.5k patrons and under 40k youtube subscribers (of which I am one)

it's not that hard to blame game studios for not really thinking he's worth it anymore

I've ridden the Rennes Metro. It's basically the only kind of metro that should be built today: driverless with platform screen doors and high frequency.

It's nice. Most metros in France are nice.

Played a few hours. Really enjoying it so far. The music is killer, but the best thing is the responsive controls. I tried to go back and play JSR a few years ago and boy was it aggravating to control.

Also you don't have to collect paint cans anymore.

Anyway it oozes JSRF from every pore. The vibes are immaculate.

It's a very good game.

His net worth has only gone up since he bought it, iirc. Tesla will continue to print money at least for a little while until other automakers catch up on EVs. SpaceX doesn't seem to have any viable competitors, and both sides of the aisle agree on privatizing space, so that's a big growth industry. This is the unfortunate fact of capitalism in general and late-stage capitalism in particular.

In cases like this I find that they're usually related to somebody.
