I have an M1 iPad pro and it still seems plenty fast so it's hard to make the case for upgrading to an M5 for enhanced AI performance or something?? share.google/O00sNlgaNnLZ...

This disparity does not seem surmountable: “American ships can cost up to five times the amount of those built in Asia. So far this year, China has made 717 large commercial vessels; the United States just one, according to BRS.”

“U.S. Starts Charging Chinese Ships to Dock at Its Ports:
The measure is aimed at countering China’s dominance of commercial shipbuilding and helping to revitalize the American industry.”

Today happened to be our Marine Mammal Protection Act lecture in Environmental Law, so I revisited case law / key issues.
There are at least three major industries that benefit from undermining the MMPA: commercial fishing and seafood, maritime transport and shipping, and the oil and gas industries.

Republicans are aiming next to dismantle the marine mammal protection act, which protects whales, dolphins, manatees, polar bears, and sea otters.. among other ocean wildlife. 🦦

I love it. Makes me happy.
Weird that I'm now seeing your post here after I just read about the bill to end the 1970s marine mammal legislation to protect these beautiful creatures.

We need to stop pairing unrelated infrastructure upgrades with transit projects because everyone blames the transit project for construction even though 90% of the work is for a sewer replacement and then it makes future transit projects harder share.google/dr9blW4oQuZ3...

After controversial Muni upgrade, bus crashes have dropped significantly

Bus crashes are down 40% on the busy SF corridor.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 3d

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

If you insist on ending tie games earlier the following are all better ideas than the free runner on second:

- ending game in tie after 12
- runners left on base return for next inning
- teams have to pull a fielder every inning after 10 or 12
