What evidence are you using to support your belief that she tanked? That’s a surprise to me and I’d like to understand more.

I recognize this isn’t what the article is about but they mentioned Sawant, and I find it ironic that she routinely wouldn’t show up to meetings as a council member, yet does show up when she’s not.

There’s actually legal reasons why publications would pay special care to their word choice like this. The difference between seeming violation and violation comes down to hard proof. Whether we like Elon’s sideshow or not, if there is a defendable claim that his post didn’t violate (e.g. new policy that allows it was approved internally but not yet published publicly), NYT could land themselves in a lawsuit that they have a chance of losing. Then ask yourself how many stories do they publish a day? The risk starts to add up quick.

So the word seeming is doing some heavy lifting there. If you ignore the ass covering, they did still report truth on something important.

This way some faulty internet lore. The money losses were from a fluke of timing the opening date of operations versus when quarterly finances were reported. Big startup costs meant the first numbers looked silly until they had enough events to get steady profits. They’re doing fine now.

Internet should’ve known better too. It’s hard to lose in Vegas and the investors obviously knew what they were doing. The power costs are shocking for sure though. Yikes!

It’s certainly hard to deny with trends like these! 🥵

I don’t know what point this comic is trying to make. Or actually I do, I just don’t think it’s very useful to sow division like this. Not-GOP candidate is an absolute gain over GOP; in fact I’d call being not-GOP the entry criteria. Exit criteria then is policy specifics, but that’s not a conversation that’s possible unless we pass entry criteria. So let’s try not to be smug jerks when we have a common goal that’s in jeopardy.

Same thing with TikTok

Good margins is why they’re fine.

Couldn’t say for sure but WebDAV probably would be clunky if fronted by a distributed database. The beauty of S3 is you add more servers, add more disks, and bam you’ve got more S3. That happens most easily when the metadata system sitting in the front can expand easily. I don’t know how easy that would be to plumb up with WebDAV. Whether or not one was better here, S3 ultimately won because it’s a primitive API that was essentially impossible to fuck up.

That sounds like the makings of a great summer! When you’re staying on Orcas, make sure to visit The Barnacle for drinks. My favorite bar on the island. For breakfast, check out Doe Bay for their cinnamon rolls — only served on the weekends. For dinner check out Houlme. You’ll want a reservation and make sure to order one of their pizzas. Other good restaurants are Monti and Matia. Enjoy!

I have no plans for summer yet, but I expect I’ll be doing a few barbecues with friends and acquaintances.

Yep and your landlord, nor any other, will ever, ever, ever forget to do that (or decline to raise it) if this passes. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Yep! It always smelled better than it tasted in my opinion, but I’m happy that the chocolate popcorn fans have their obsession back.
