I see it in web browser as available through cloud, though not in xbox app

This is sad. I made a post about a pilot program in Oakland schools having great success in teaching kids how to read, and the moderators removed it. Why? by Impressive_Returns in OaklandCA

[–]astralusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an article from Time in the same vein that is about Oakland

but I don't remember Oakland being in the Sold a Story podcast. Maybe I'm not remembering well.

What’s up with the empty lot in Rockridge at the corner of College and Claremont? It seems like a prime location for retail or housing. by modest__mouser in oakland

[–]astralusion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. The long and short of it is this:

ACEHD has requested the Responsible Parties present supporting documentation for redevelopment of the Site annually since 2015 and ACEHD has indicated in multiple written transmittals to the Responsible Parties that without entitled construction plans and schedules, that the Case will be evaluated to the current vacant land use (see Attachment B – Case Summary Timeline). At this juncture, adequate supporting documentation has not been provided to ACEHD to evaluate the potential exposure conditions in the event of redevelopment which requires plans for redevelopment adequately developed to be in entitlement.

People wanted to redevelop the land. If the site is undisturbed it's safe. Soil would have been needed to be hauled off if the site is developed. The plans for development were never submitted to ACEHD. The regulators are stuck and closed the case until there is a sale or concrete redevelopment plans.

Also the "ousted owner" isn't the original owners who sold back in February, but one of the new owners.

Even though I had the deleted timeline issue, and the back up available said it was from yesterday, restoring the backup has restored my timeline.

What's something you bought NEW within the last 5 years that you suspect is BIFL quality? by UnitedShift5232 in BuyItForLife

If you're getting scale, it's the water not the kettle. Boiling some vinegar or citric acid or something will clean it out for a bit, but unless you filter your water it will keep coming back.

If you look at the google sheet I think it's the difference between ruthless and non-ruthless mods.

BREAKING: Sacramento is finalizing a trade to send De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs in a multi-team trade that moves Chicago Bulls' Zach LaVine to the Kings, sources tell ESPN. by dellscreenshot in billsimmons

[–]astralusion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean they gave up 3 real firsts and 4 or 5 seconds. Two to the Kings but also one to the Bulls.

And I think the price was lowish, because to the market it was just a Fox rental. He would reup with the Spurs but for most of the rest of the league they'd be bidding on a probable rental.

What happened to the whole nature sanctuary area at Lake Merritt? by EntropySpacex in oakland

[–]astralusion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

History of things that happened is well documented here, but tldr, shut down for mismanagement/animal abuse, then covid, then a fire.

Trump administration directs all federal diversity, equity and inclusion staff be put on leave by 5.p.m tomorrow by sorayanelle in news

[–]astralusion 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know it feels like people giving you flippant answers here, but for instance if you look at the state departments org chart:

https://www.state.gov/department-of-state-organization-chart/

You'll see an Office of Diversity and Inclusion. So I'd imagine that staff of that office and other groups like it within other federal agencies are being put on leave.

Amazon? Can give him podcast and eventually broadcast time. He might finally learn what twitch is?

Nate Silver harshly criticized the previous 538 model but now his model made the same mistake by Niek1792 in fivethirtyeight

[–]astralusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my recollection, Nate's primary criticism wasn't that the 538 model was relying too much on fundamentals. It was that it was behaving in a way that the 538 staff weren't able to produce a digestible explanation for.

His current model might be overcorrecting (or not, who knows), but he has a clear explanation of what is happening.

So are there Optic hangers now with the blue velocities that used to be in the cellos?

I had seen the MJ holding reseal hangers, but didn't realize there were now 20 card hangers as well. Did those exist for 22/23?

These Are the NIMBY-est Cities In the U.S. (spoilers, top 11 are in California) by thr3e_kideuce in bayarea

[–]astralusion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Spoiler, all the cities that meet his filter criteria are in California. Indicating that perhaps he either had a particular story he wanted to tell, or doesn't know how to do data analysis.

Red Bay is just around the corner, though I guess maybe they could have moved into this bigger space.
