Private schools are the most expensive placebo in America. Nowhere else will you pay $250k+ for something that has so little impact on school achievement.
My latest on why private school isn't worth the cost: ofdollarsanddata.com/why-private-sc…
@tolstoybb@kchoudhu You thought Stranger Things took long between seasons, or that Prime has trouble greenlighting new Bond IP, welcome to Marvel conflicts and the Le Carre family standards nytimes.com/2026/01/01/art…
@US_Stormwatch Been skiing a while. Seeing it in California, sorry the other responses are a bit combative. Hey folks, the data speaks for itself, you can look out your window one day, at the snowline from a chairlift over the years, or look it up over decades these other places. Choose wisely.
A large French Alps ski resort that operated for 85 years just shut down because winters are now too warm to sustain reliable snowfall due to climate change.
This isn’t an isolated case. It’s becoming common across the Alps and the US is next.
Spring snowpack in the western US has fallen nearly 20% since 1955. Ski seasons are getting shorter.
In my home state of California, major April and October snowstorms used to be routine in the 20th century. Over the last decade, they’ve become rare.
Many of California’s biggest ski resorts base elevations sit at 6,000–7,000 feet, elevations already getting hammered by rising snow levels.
A 2023 study found mid-winter snow levels in the Sierra Nevada have risen 1,000–1,500 feet since 1949, and they’ll keep climbing as the world warms.
One week into SF, kicked the jetlag and off to riding waymos to events, waking up to Karl the fog and jamming in my wework with a view of the bay. And yes im flexing with my @OpenAIDevs cap 🤠. Any good lunch reccos?
Wait, so the one guy chases the guy up the block to call it truce but that silly fucker pulls out a deuce deuce and then homeboy one just happens to have a loaded 12 gauge? How did the guy not see the 12 gauge? And why did he have a 12 gauge if he was going up to call a truce?
@GayBearRes I think it's partly sticker shock about chipped key price. $200 for programming a key when you're used to $2 for a dumb key copy and they look sorta similar, wouldn't blame this entirely on age
@craignewmark@GreatDismal Good tip :)
Maybe it's just the shadow, but looks like you're wearing two left shoes? They gotta make those unibody wool shoes less comfy, it's too easy to slip them on without thinking...
What to expect during my live interview on Monday at #SXSWSydney
But it all hinges on the questions you submit prior. So comment below or go to the @komo_tech site and give me some ammo - @jamesepember@sxswsydney
Also - should I finish captioning this meme? Y/N
@pkedrosky Those who need or just want to. Views? Have kids, need another room or better schools? Homo economicus sometimes gets hacked by circumstances and emotions.
@PKEWX3 Once had a band put Hanes t shirts in their rider, struck as unnecessary, and got an immediate call, not about the half dozen other things we cut, but the shirts. It doesn't cost much to ask, and could make touring that much easier
@hjluks@Vanguard_Group Call them. Getting someone on the phone still works, reps are far more concerned about solving your issue when on their own recorded line.
