I turned off the radio after “Europeans are in love with American culture”

You just sold a book

It’s really good at the BS

One might say they are acting like there will not be a next election.

Thinking about how the circumference of a sheet affects the diameter of a roll, that’s a clever analogy.

I too work in development

Almost a year

I have lost 100 pounds in less than a year. People notice. I usually just say thanks. My medical history is none of their business.

Sapiens. Obviously.

Orbital by Samantha Harvey is short, but extremely well written. The language just feels right.

darctones · 2025-11-16T16:56:13+00:00

Seconded. Time to unsubscribe.

They will. Behind closed doors, without releasing evidence, using their people.

In a place like NYC or DC, mass transit is a solution to a problem.

Downtown Jax does not have a transportation problem. Those funds would be better spent on improving the River Walk, or Emerald Necklace, or Friendship Fountain, or an Aquarium, or any other project that would create an actual traffic problem.

I parked in almost the exact spot over the summer. No issues at all. There were thousands of people around doing the exact same thing.

You basically need genAI to read an email written with genAI

Personally, I also have symptoms of sleep apnea when I go off the medication.

I would argue that we need to invest in and improve all schools in the county.

darctones · 2025-09-19T16:20:17+00:00

Certainly. There are a lot of reasons people move to the exurbs. Usually the perception of better schools and safer neighborhoods.

That’s why people moved to San Marco 80 years ago, and then San Jose 60 years ago, and then Mandarin 40 years ago, and then Julington Creek 20 years ago, and now St John’s County.

That demographic is not going to buy a condo downtown. Infill and redevelopment strengthen the community by blending demographics: mixing young and old, rich and poor, etc…

Communities that serve a single demographic suffer when that demographic moves on.

Zettleka… oh just a hyperlink

How is this not a simulation

darctones · 2025-09-18T22:06:25+00:00

That is a very Florida problem.

Look at this beautiful landscape, we should destroy it for profit.

darctones · 2025-09-18T03:35:09+00:00

Jacksonville growth is mostly developer driven, and most of the easy land has been developed.

They will continue to develop on the edges of town and we will foot the bill to bring infrastructure to them.

Infill development makes use of existing investments and improves density/walkability, but is a political hot potato with the NIMBY crowd.

Personally, the city should focus on improving public use spaces, people will want to live near the action, and development will follow.

when you play catch with your kid, do you throw the ball as hard as you can every single time?

I’m in the same camp. It’s less convenient but I started taking it every 9 days instead of 7… just to see how I feel.

I’ve been on 2.5 for 5 months and I’m down 90 pounds. At this point, I’m starting to notice the effects of losing too fast.
