    It’s surprising that so many key crops are grown in relatively few places.

    Yeah but at the same time ‘software development/engineering’ jobs are climbing so I wonder how much of this is just a nomenclature/categorization shift.

    I have read about this a bit. Another case of money not being able to buy class.

    That is huge. Not sure if it was here, but somebody posted about the speed that a sapping turtle can snap its jaws closed. Amazing fast!!

    @Axtremus said in 100 Students in a School Meant for 1,000: Inside Chicago’s Refusal to Deal With Its Nearly Empty Schools: Is it really bureaucracy, or the people/voters don’t want to let go? I think both. In this case the people/voters are also the bureaucracy so kind of the worst case to get progress in this situation.

    A quote from a progressive white female lawyer on a Trump hating podcast yesterday, went something like "I loved Justice Jackson's dissent so much. She was just Black Girling all over that court." This was in reference to the birthright citizenship case, where Barrett's majority opinion specifically called out Jackson's dissent as removed from any legal grounding whatsoever.

    @Horace said in Mamdani: It would have been interesting to see how the socialized supermarkets dealt with shoplifters. The politicians who started the stores are the same ones who barely think shoplifting should be a crime. Well, they wouldn’t have any police to enforce the laws even if they decided to…

    I tried dead hanging again. This time I lasted around 34 seconds, maybe. Still not sure whether it's the arms or the grip that gave out first. Well, both tries need an asterisk because I had to lift my legs throughout -- the metal frame I hung from is too low from the ground; my feet would be on the ground if I don't life my legs while hanging from said metal frame.

    I like how the black box is cropped on the left side and the red box is cropped at the top. Trump can't even take a screenshot correctly, what a LOSER.
