Private Equity ruins whatever property they buy. They are going to put a lot more stuff behind paywalls I guarantee it.

Also, relating to a run-in earlier tonight, please have a headlight if you're riding at night.

Back to you almonds

It's more of a general thing for me but good to know.

My paranoia and anxiety from weed keeps me from going to crowded places high. My eyes also get super red, I cannot pass for sober.

South Bay?

Does anyone know anyone who has died of COVID in the last year? It seems like it's going the way of the flu through vaccines and natural immunity.

Fed funds futures point to I think May. This could change as the year progresses.

Then happy new year

You can't pick a seat, which means you have to A. Buy your tickets, and B. Get there before everyone else to get in line first and pick your seat. My question is, when does everybody come in?

Holy cow. I was planning on seeing it next Thursday and thought I could maybe get there an hour early to get good seats. Maybe not.

I think it's a massive case of correlation, not causation. My guess is someone saw a stepmom porn a while ago and clicked and watched because the porn star was hot. Then the person who made the video goes "hmmmm people love stepmom porn, we should make more" and now it's gotten totally out of hand.

Nothing has changed for the Microsoft-Activision merger except for a rumor story on Politico. I don't see why the FTC should block it if Microsoft keeps COD cross-console. Sony has way more and better exclusives, and it wouldn't make Microsoft a monopoly in mobile games. It really would just come down to Lina Khan trying to assert her authority.

If that were possible, Darwin's wouldn't have closed.

I liked Darwin's, but they were so expensive I could rarely justify going there as opposed to recreating the same sandwich at home.

No way FTC would let Apple and Disney pass. If anything, Apple would have to sell off its media division from Services to Disney, which would be a bad move for them.

But they're not talking about doing that. They're talking about a city wide ban that would add to congestion. To solve visibility problems, you don't need legislation. You can either remove those corner parking spots like you said, or have city works drive through Cambridge, identify turns with visibility issues, and put "No Turn on Red" signs there.

Here's my issue with the argument that too much space is dedicated to cars. What do you want there, homes? Clearly you don't want more people coming in to Cambridge if you you're actively making it harder to get here. Businesses? Maybe, but again, less available customers. I think these people just want to keep everyone out so they can have their giant bike paths and farmers markets all to themselves.

I see some drivers break traffic laws. I see most bicyclists break them. A bike running into a pedestrian won't kill them but has the potential to cause a good chunk of damage. A car would do worse, but I haven't seen a car drive the wrong way down a one way street or barrel down a sidewalk, things I can't say the same for bikes.

This all just looks like one big clusterfuck to me.
