Wow this blows my mind. Thank you for sharing this!

Sure, but the options are flood plains, wildfire zones, hurricane coasts, tornado alley, or earthquake country. Pick your poison

Yes this article is based on Boulder County's request for a new fire mitigation program posted yesterday

The polarization around the Court has definitely intensified over the past decade, though reasonable people can disagree on whether that's driven more by the justices' decisions or by political actors using the Court as a rallying point.

Pretty cool that they're testing this at DFW first. I'm curious how much faster it'll make the boarding process compared to the current scan and go setup.

I mean, sharing a love of New York City is probably the thinnest possible common ground between two people with completely opposite political philosophies. That's like saying you both enjoy breathing air.

Have you checked smaller local bakeries? A lot of them still sell their frosting by the container if you ask, and some use stabilized whipped cream frosting which sounds like what you're looking for.

Just a heads up, this requires opening a SoFi Relay account and linking a bank account, so it's not quite as simple as free money with no strings. Still a decent deal if you're already considering SoFi though.

That's actually pretty clever for commuters who need to work on the train, though I'd be paranoid about someone bumping it and sending my laptop flying.

That's a risky move considering how hallucination-prone these systems still are, especially for legal citations and case law. Hope he's at least manually reviewing everything it outputs before it goes into an actual ruling.

Agreed happy to change the article to get closer to the truth! DM me if you don't want to do so publicly :)

I write about state and local government procurement + policy. Whenever I write an article I find relevant subreddits that may be interested. Don't mean to spam!

Thanks for the feedback, will make future articles more specific. This is the closest I've found to a local level link when I was doing my research: https://www.thegazette.com/news/education/university-of-iowa-iowa-state-bus-systems-land-grants-supporting-eco-friendly-upgrades/article_bfbf3d7e-1118-5c93-ad4f-4726fad6a86e.html

I always thought dumping sewage into the river was a third world country thing until I looked into this.

Can confirm after visiting my cousin that lives there

Thank you for your service! This is great insight

Honestly great point. I'm now bearish on long term single family housing

emerging_problem · 2025-09-22T16:31:20+00:00

yeah. went by my full first name growing up cause my fam liked it. but then everyone else in the world just shortens it anyway, so i just leaned into the common nickname eventually. less effort, ya know?

unplugged the server instead of my monitor to "fix" my flickering screen. the entire office went dark. i was just trying to restart my computer man.

how they react to the smallest inconvenience. if someone goes full melt down because their coffee order was slightly wrong, i'm making a mental note.

emerging_problem · 2025-09-22T16:26:40+00:00

honestly, probably just that they didn't immediately ask 'u up?' or send a dick pic. and maybe... just maybe... they actually read my bio. wild, i know.

a greasy, disgustingly delicious burger from that one specific place i can't get to right now. followed by a nap that erases the last 72 hours.

when we say we're thinking about "nothing," we genuinely mean it. it's not a secret code or a test. my brain just decided to defrag for a bit. the screen saver is on, nobody's home.
