There is no world in which I will vote in favor of removing the first-class clause, and it's not something the Mayor can do unilaterally. This man has secured a path to roughly a billion in public subsidy for a stadium deal (despite my opposition) and still cries poor. We deserve better than this.

Negotiations between Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon and Portland officials have stalled over a $1 billion settlement demand tied to the team's first-class arena maintenance clause, with Dundon pushing for a 10-year buyout option rather than the required 20-year lease commitment. https://mrf.lu/2bWJc

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Ballard Missing Link loses again, Appeals Court rules fully against city and Cascade #SEAbikes #Seattle

seattlebikeblog.comBallard Missing Link loses again, Appeals Court rules fully against city and CascadeThe Appeals Court conclusion. Read the full document (PDF). Another half decade of Missing Link court battling may have been completely wasted after the Washington State Court of Appeals delivered a devastating blow to the city's 2021 attempt to bypass environmental review by building a skinnier trail to connect the Burke-Gilman Trail from 11th Ave NW to the Ballard Locks. The court smacked down arguments made on behalf of completing the reduced trail, affirming that it is not categorically exempt from state environmental review as the city claimed and that the group fighting the trail does have legal standing despite having no official structure, meeting minutes or funding disclosures.

I just wanted know how many people were visiting my site & what pages were getting attention. “Just run this GIANT honkin database and CHONKY service” they all say. Unacceptable! How about a < 8MB single binary on SQLite, I say. Easy. GUI included. #rust #web #analytics github.com/cdaringe/shy...

#zwift is the most garbage software. Crashes literally every attempt at use. Always eventually works. 3-4 minute minimum duration to actually start riding in game. I ride/play on appletv. Glad it exists, but its a hate/like relationship. If a viable competitor launches, im out!

Buttery-smooth suspension bridge physics in my SM64 engine. It utilizes real-world spring physics! A cool byproduct of this is the emergence of standing wave harmonics.

to not show up to work everyday and and check my operating sheet/metrics. “We have crews doing maintenance on parks A-N”, we have budget allocated to labor/parts/etc as just part of the daily rhythm. Help me comprehend how these claims of “lack of planning” could possibly exist for a routinely 2/

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

We’re not failing to eliminate homelessness because it’s too expensive, because it’s actually cheaper to house people than let them continue unhoused

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
