How do people in the suburbs genuinely look forward to Friday night on the couch, Saturday morning at Costco, and call that a weekend? Like you really moved out of the city just to LARP as your parents at 34?

@boogienator2988 @MartinShkreli You should have to get up and physically go somewhere to gamble. The fact that they legalized it for everyone's phone but it's still illegal to open a casino is insanity and basically means the legislation was written by draft kings themselves.

@dantypo My daily of the last ten years died in the fall (engine block has a big hole in it) and there's also zero chance I'm scrapping it for $500 bucks. I'd rather watch it rust in the backyard for 20 years and dream about fixing it, $500 does literally nothing for me.

Am I the only one who sells my used cars for like $500 anymore? I swear, when I unloaded my kid’s starter cars, I’d just be like, “I don’t know, you got $500 cash?” I mean, I get that sometimes every dollar matters for some. But I’m always just thinking, “if it gets you to work for a few months or more, you can basically have it.” But I see the same kind of cars on lawns for like $1,500-$2,000. It’s nuts. Be generous. Help someone out who maybe REALLY needs it.

@SCweather_wx Hail scares me more than the worst tornado threat days. I've been very close to a tornado and nothing happened, hail is wide spread and could easily total a car. I don't know why weather guys pay so much more attention to tornados around here.

A shortwave could spark some very isolated strong to severe storms tomorrow afternoon & evening. Colder air aloft will drive a hail threat with these storms. Anytime you get storms to fire in lower humidity like this, you know there is cold air aloft. Weather terminology for this is favorable lapse rates. This changing in temperatures in an area of the atmosphere can spike CAPE levels (storm fuel). On days like this, you can get some really good storm structure but whoever is hit by these storms could end up with a surprise hail storm.

You were never meant to change your habits in the dead of winter. That’s why they made “New Year’s Day” in January (look up who was behind that one). To keep you a slave to habit. To keep you from locking in. Until 1752, Protestant Britain’s New Year fell on March 25th. Protestants rioted when the government bowed to the pressure of foreign merchants and adopted the papist calendar. Tonight is the night that our oldest steppe ancestors celebrated the New Year. Spring is here, and with it the possibility of change. Now is the time to make your resolutions.

@AppyOrtho Many of the American transplants to the Southern states in the Hart-Celler era are from California, yet they seem to attract less of the disdain than transplants from New York I haven't seen anyone discuss this angle (perhaps you do), but I assume it's related?

No one who follows me and reads my threads is shocked that CCR is from California. California was settled by Southerners and had, until very recently, a Southern cultural heritage. Here’s my thread ⬇️ x.com/appyortho/stat…
Zero@TheGrandZero

I still find it funny that not one single member of CCR was from the southern United States. Every one of them was born and raised in the El Cerrito area of San Francisco. Literally Californian college yuppies larping as southerners. Weird, huh?

sneaky northwest flow event tomorrow evening in the carolina’s. these events are notorious for big hailers around here. golf ball and hen eggs are the maximum sizes imo, but if we get CAPE to increase we could see a higher ceiling. mainly watching cola to clt points northwest.

@avidseries @DPRUK16 And that was also bad. We shut down immigration for a generation from 1925-1965 because we were having problems integrating the Irish and Italian immigrants of the early 20th century. The shared experiences of the depression and world war 2 were what integrated those groups.

"Muslims make up just 6% of the population of Britain." Three things: (1) The use of the word "just" tells us a lot about the person using it. (Also, the current percentage is probably closer to 7% than 6%, and continues to increase.) (2) UK Muslims are not the mostly secular and mostly educated type of Muslims the US gets through immigration. They're far more likely to be low-performing, insular, religiously aggressive and openly contemptuous of the West. (3) Overall, I think Muslim immigrants in the US (very much unlike those in Europe) are a net asset. But I also think that we now have enough data from other Western nations that we should probably start thinking about what the tipping point might be in the Muslim percentage of our population before it starts taking on the characteristics of those in the UK and France.
William Dalrymple@DalrympleWill

Muslims make up just 6% of the population of Britain. Conspiracy theories currently being aired by right wing bigots that they are secretly plotting the Islamic domination of the country are the 21st century Islamophobes' equivalent of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and just as idiotic, and as dangerous

@CharlesCantlay Do we know all the details? At the beach after High school graduation one of my buddies took drugs off the street and disappeared into a foam party at a club, then our driver (who was deaf) said he was leaving so I had to bail and come back with another car to find my friend.

@KarenLorre It's interesting because on a unrelated note: I found that small amounts of copper leeching into soils may benefit plants, as it possibly acts as a pathogen suppressant. That's why I personally stick small amounts of copper wire near my plants.

I had copper on my pool in the late 90s and early 2000s, then that guy went out of business. It was impossible for the weekly pool guy to remember not to put chlorine in the pool - but when he was stopped in time, the pool was so clean and refreshing because of the copper. All that was needed was to remove fallen leaves etc.
SkriptkeeperElect@Skriptkeeper17

Did you know that before chlorine became the gold standard, copper was the go-to for keeping water crystal clear? Long before modern filtration, ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans recognized copper’s powerful antimicrobial properties. They used copper vessels to store water and even threw copper coins into wells to keep the water “sweet” and free from pathogens. 🏺 In the early days of swimming pools, copper ionization was the primary way to sanitize the water. It works by releasing positively charged copper ions that naturally destroy bacteria and algae on contact—a method that’s still used today in many eco-friendly, low-chlorine pool systems.🛡️ It’s a perfect example of how ancient wisdom often aligns with modern science to provide a cleaner, more natural way to live. Did you know? • The Egyptians: Used copper to sterilize drinking water as early as 2400 B.C. • The Science: Copper ions (Cu^{2+}) disrupt the cell walls of bacteria, effectively neutralizing them without the harsh chemical smell of chlorine.🦠 Credit Ronnie L FACEBOOK

@jeremiahscholl @dominochef @aakashgupta It's not just money but time. If they get more money for the houses by leaving some trees, but it makes the project take 6 more months, that isn't a win for the builder. Quick and easy to bulldoze everything.

You are suggesting the single developer doesn’t make more money if the houses sell for more money. That isn’t true. If the trees increase the value of the homes by more than the extra cost of development. the developers would be able to sell them for more. The developer would thus maximize HIS profits by keeping them there. The developer doesn’t do that because the value of the homes in fact does not go up enough. Buyers don’t care enough. Doing it the fast way is thus in the best interest of the buyer.

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.
