@rambling_28 I've had it and it's delicious. Love the tradition.

海外のMeat Loversよ、日本の伝統的BBQの一つであるYakitoriを貼っておく。 日本人は鶏のあらゆる部分を食べる。 肉はもちろん鶏冠や足、内臓だって食うんだ。 そして残った骨はラーメンのスープの出汁として使う。 これが命を食べることへの尊敬だ。 ぜひ日本で食って欲しい。

@loganb The model is pretty obvious. If you prevent housing then folks crowd in and buy out folks at the top end, who buy out folks below and so on until the fellow at the bottom gets pushed out. It works in reverse when you build top end housing.

Okay, but corporations don’t live in housing. So be specific: who should be expelled from which gentrified neighborhoods?

@Beginning_BKN Hah. I think the translation is a bit off, but the sides are part of the fun. We've done all meat though.

@nerdsnipe 十分な数のグリルと肉があれば全て肉にする？

BBQで米を食べないのは異文化として理解出来るが、パンを食べてるもんだと思ってた。あのデカイ肉をただ食うの？？？野菜も穀物も無しで？？？？

@disordermonste7 @isofude @ghost707sp That's amazing

@isofude @ghost707sp 軍艦巻きがありまっす

アメリカの豪快バーベキューに対抗するには日本が誇る大洗の戦車隊を出すしかない

@daitouayokoyama @kisei64 Everyone messes up the first smoke. It's a right of passage.

@kisei64 何時間もかけるの、恐ろしすぎる。自分にはできない

オタクデモ、BBQ肉に話題で負けてる

@allie__voss It's a warehouse full of computers. Try a steel mill, a pig farm or a slaughterhouse next door by comparison.

@allie__voss Literally everyone uses datacenters without realizing it.

The main thing I've learned about data centers is that everyone is utterly confident they don't use data centers

@sp6runderrated Significant portions of rent controlled population suffer arrested development because of it.

There is a small set of society that never marries, never have kids, never switch jobs, never have major lifestyle changes. For them it probably is a win to just use RC to drive their COL lower and lower. For everyone else it doesn't work out.

This tweet captures a lot of my grievances with tenant activists. They find it incomprehensible that people want to move and seemingly only favor policies designed to ensure people can live in the same place until they die.

@PippengerHarlo Tenant activists are dumb. Speedy evictions are a public good

More than 60% of SF units fall under rent control. Every SF tenant has the right to a free attorney when facing eviction thanks to tenant activists.

@jdcmedlock I'm a nut but I've conducted my affairs assuming I'll get nothing from the program.

Given the importance of perception on incentives here, people who fearmonger about social security not being there for the next generation are directly increasing deadweight loss of taxation in the economy.

@sp6runderrated I would love to get rid of sf rent control (and I benefit from it)

Their are policies you could do to help the marginal tenant without harming society. By and large tenant activists oppose them.

The vast majority of tenants, the median tenant, do not have an adversarial relationship with their landlord. Their relationship resembles their relationship with Target or a local Thai place. They negotiate over cost relative to services but that is it.

@HashtagGriswold I'm still looking for the greatest book on how military logistics worked through the ages, but no one cares about that.

Thesis: Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers accidentally kneecapped the WWII movie as a genre. Everyone said "well, we can't top that," and now every entry is "come marvel at the DARING nerds who solved logistical problem" x.com/metoffice/stat…

@GreenPlusAnE It was sold to millions of Americans as a pay-in pay-out system. The savvy folks know better and don't expect that, but they'll (rightfully) take their rhetorical pound of flesh.

I suspect the core objection to capping six figure Social Security benefits for high-income retirees is the notion that they somehow deserve this specific amount of money. But rich retirees have no contractual or moral right to six-figure government checks per household. It's not young people's fault, or responsibility, that seniors believed politicians' lies.

1. Smart Gen Z and Millennials already discount US Government promises. They know the system's broken. 2. Social Security already uses a progressive formula. Above ~$93k average income, each extra dollar of indexed average earnings raises benefits by just 15 cents. So the tax-benefit link is already weak. 3. Yes, taxes discourage work. Also, public benefits displace private saving and investment.

@GreenPlusAnE Bush was right and I regret his reforms never passed.

@JoshTBVO Combating inequality isn't the point of the tax code, and our tax code is one of the most progressive tax codes in the world.

This is silly, and it’s basically an argument to give up when it comes to meaningfully combatting inequality.

@moseskagan Oh no, my steak is too juicy, my housing is too cheap

What ~everyone in this debate misses: Institutional developers, who build most new supply (at least in large metros), aren't using their own $$. They are using investor $$. And the terms of the deals give them large developer fees, which are generally not dependent on the outcome of the project. (They also get a portion of the profits, if any.) So, developers are incentivized to try to build, even when doing so is objectively not smart. And it's turtles all the way down: -The $$ generally comes from real estate private equity funds, which are incentivized by recurring management fee arrangements to put $$ out, even when the projected risk-adjusted rewards aren't great, and - The RE PE funds get *their* $$ from pension funds, under the influence of consultants who get fancy trips, etc. from the RE PE funds It's not optimism; it's just incentives.

@TraditionSarah Just tell her you love her. Politics passes

A few months ago my “best friend” of nearly 30 years decided we can’t be friends because I didn’t mourn Renee Good. She claimed we had “moral differences”. Prior to that, we obviously knew we had differences in politics but just didn’t discuss politics. She ended our last conversation saying she was going to talk to her therapist and I never heard from her again. It’s her birthday today. I want to tell her I love her (even if our politics aren’t the same), I want to wish her happy birthday, I want to catch up on what’s been going on in our lives. But I can’t do that because of a crazy lady who tried to run over an ICE agent with a smile on her face and I apparently needed to side with her to be morally just. The left has taken so many people from me. I may swallow my pride and text her happy birthday, but I also feel like she really crossed boundaries and maybe our book is finally just closed for good.

@SlopHq Don't treat a commuter rail like urban transport and you won't have this problem.

american commuter rail runs mostly at rush hour because it was designed in the 1950s to move white collar workers from suburbs to downtowns. the trains sit idle 20 hours a day. the tracks sit empty all weekend. and then we say rail is too expensive per rider. we made it expensive

@paulg @davidsenra @pmarca Or Cicero

@davidsenra @pmarca What? That's not true. Do you not feel that Charles Darwin, for example, was among the great men of history?

Great men of history had little to no introspection. The personality that builds empires is not the same personality that sits around quietly questioning itself. @pmarca and I discuss what we both noticed but no one talks about: David: You don't have any levels of introspection? Marc: Yes, zero. As little as possible. David: Why? Marc: Move forward. Go! I found people who dwell in the past get stuck in the past. It's a real problem and it's a problem at work and it's a problem at home. David: So I've read 400 biographies of history’s greatest entrepreneurs and someone asked me what the most surprising thing I’ve learned from this was [and I answered] they have little or zero introspection. Sam Walton didn't wake up thinking about his internal self. He just woke up and was like: I like building Walmart. I'm going to keep building Walmart. I'm going to make more Walmarts. And he just kept doing it over and over again. Marc: If you go back 400 years ago it never would've occurred to anybody to be introspective. All of the modern conceptions around introspection and therapy, and all the things that kind of result from that are, a kind of a manufacture of the 1910s, 1920s. Great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff. The individual runs and does all these things and builds things and builds empires and builds companies and builds technology. And then this kind of this kind of guilt based whammy kind of showed up from Europe. A lot of it from Vienna in 1910, 1920s, Freud and all that entire movement. And kind of turned all that inward and basically said, okay, now we need to basically second guess the individual. We need to criticize the individual. The individual needs to self criticize. The individual needs to feel guilt, needs to look backwards, needs to dwell in the past. It never resonated with me.
