I met him when he was biking with a group on Mem Drive on a Saturday after it was no longer closed to traffic. I definitely support someone who supports cyclists

Do you know what the cause of the surge is? I'm seeing a lot of mentions of it, but no explanation

So, the Essential Craftsman channel on Youtube? Who seemed like a soft-spoken guy who just wants to teach people how to use tape measures correctly?

His latest video is a eulogy for Charlie Kirk. I'm glad all the comments are pushing back, but I don't think it will change anything. Unsubscribed.

Me, too. I bet they think we're only "virtue signaling" by saying so, though. They think we all talk like them in our private chats! It's maddening

Poland had elections for king, so it's possible to have a monarchy without heredity. (Not saying we should do this, though.)

It makes me want to figure out the optimal layout of the letters so that it's efficient to use. Like, E should be close to the beginning of its dial, and letters that are often next to each other should be on different rings so you can dial the second without waiting for the first to spin back

An honest-to-god judge actually wrote "'Not Like Us' by Kendrick Lamar dealt the metaphorical killing blow" in a formal legal opinion.
