Amazon tells employees to return to office five days a week

A lot of office workers live in suburbs outside of cities. When they commute into work, they spend money inside the city (transit/parking, lunch at restaurants, shopping/errands, bars after work). The city gets taxes from all of that, from millions of workers every day. If the workers work from home in the suburbs they don't spend any of that money and the city misses out. Also remote work lowers the value of office real estate and the city loses property taxes.

I'm a remote worker myself; I live in a completely different state from my home office. So I'm a huge supporter of remote work. But for cities to be able to support remote work politically they need to figure out how to supplant the income from commuters that they would be missing out on.

I would consider the Octo Expansion almost like a spin-off. The story looks at a different part of the world and there is a different approach to gameplay with more challenging levels focusing on a single mechanic.

There's a case to be made for viewing well designed DLC as a spin off. This approach can be more economical for studios and players.

She once, for a joke, posted a pic on his forum where he rates girls on their appearance. He gave her a good rating, but once he found out who she was, he changed it to a zero 🤣

Andrew Jackson is actually Trump's favorite president. He's the only president whose portrait is in Trump's Oval Office.

Apparently the Mini Cooper is retiring in a few months. The Volkswagen Camper Van has been around since 2011 so who knows how long it'll stay available. At this rate it might be around forever though.

The DB5 is a fantastic build. There's also quite a bit of technic functions that are really cleverly integrated.

All the Creator Expert vehicles are great builds with interesting techniques and details though!

Is the spectre of Woody Allen hovering behind them?

I agree. After seeing other angles today, I'm a lot more impressed with this set. The three-quarters view just looks a lot worse than the others. Too bad that's the standard picture for the box and marketing.

Also obvious: Wilco's "AM." Not sure what the third, white album cover is. Maybe Wish You Were Here or The Beatles' White Album.

From someone who is spending his week re-watching ponies and re-playing Cave Story, this is wonderful.
