@Qagggy So it took us 6,900 years to build out the first 74%? Didn't know the city was that old.

An @OregonDOT official said in a meeting yesterday that at current funding levels, it will take the agency 160 years (not a typo) to build out a complete biking/walking network. Meanwhile, #orleg, OTC, and ODOT continue to pour billions into freeway expansions.

I will eat my shoe if Helion actually puts energy on the grid by 2028.

@truebe To the contrary, I feel like it should entitle you to a bonus senator. Land's gotta vote!
English
@truebe Pretty amusing but also I think they just mean don't grab it off the comal with your hands. Which as a white person who has made a lot of tortillas, I don't object to.

@truebe Just vermouth or do you not like any wine based aperitifs?

@antislice @td_dion The problem in those parts of Baltimore is not fast traffic. Detroit, maybe.

@td_dion I'm not from any of these cities, but how much does it also map to road safety? if these neighborhoods also have poor sidewalks/fast traffic/etc they're less desirable to run on.
(this ties into segregation/gentrification too)

@AdrianCovert Ok but why all those inlets and islands at the north end? Oddly specific. Were cartographers always making up details like that?

This map was drawn by Benetian Franciscan Vincenzo Coronelli in 1696.

Maps depicted California as an island for hundreds of years after it was discovered to be connected to the mainland. Why? 🧵

@truebe Can't speak for non-Californians, but most of the Californians I know (extended family, not carpetbaggers like me) have spent a lot of time driving up and down 5 or 99, where the billboards are pretty crazy

@truebe Anyone who thinks that has never heard of the central valley

@pfau Ugh I just realized I haven't opened my copy since AI-generated images blew up, and now I'm worried the Codex is ruined forever for me

@dweekly None of these laws seem to know about RSUs (which is dumb); isn't Netflix a place where you can choose anywhere from 0-50+% of total comp in RSUs?
English
Mildly amused at Netflix's abuse of pay transparency legislation by posting salaries of "$90k-900k" for their positions. That seems...kinda against the spirit of the thing?

@TheDon Yesterday was the only time in my life I felt like it was literally too unsafe to leave my house. (I live right on one of those >10% Queen Anne hills.)

very skeptical that a tablespoon of lemon zest is actually 14g. in fact my scale says (after zesting 2 lemons) it's -1g.

@truebe They don't teach Emily Dickinson in Arizona high schools?

@truebe Pretty sure rana is Italian for frog so about that meat lasagna...
