People are so endlessly confused that "rare earth" elements are not really that rare, while the actually rare elements are not "rare earth". Seems like this author is trying to say "metals that are rare on earth" but put it in a jargony way that they did not really understand.

Meanwhile it seems Adams is doing the opposite - gumming up the works as much as possible to increase prisoner counts so he can justify keeping the place open.

The conservative way: sabotage programs and then use the resulting dysfunction as an excuse to get rid of them.

This plan has a lot of quality improvements too, the headline is a little too focused on the flashy free fares aspect

Yeah NYC needs to have a two party system with the existing Dem machine being one party and the socialist left being the other.

Reply to Exercise linked with increased longevity. Compared with just two minutes of vigorous activity per week, 15 minutes was associated with an 18% lower risk of death and a 15% lower likelihood of cardiovascular disease, while 12 minutes was associated with a 17% reduced risk of cancer by Wagamaga
Is there a level at which the effects top out? Like 30 minutes is better than 10, but is two hours better than 30 minutes? Is 10 hours better than two hours? 40 hours better than 10? I assume somewhere along that path you hit diminishing returns health-wise but don't have a strong prediction of where that level would be.
