econ people thoughts?
a plank from rob ashton's leadership campaign platform: "We'll change the mandate of the Bank of Canada to include full employment. For too long, the Bank of Canada has had one mission: keeping inflation low, even if that meant higher unemployment. An economy that serves capital instead of people is a broken one."

okay fine get this man more computer parts
stepfanie tyler @wildbarestepf · Nov 8 calling a 1 of 1 builder “uncultured” is the sort of academic flourish reserved for those who’ve never had to make anything useful Quote Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates · Nov 8 So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s x.com/wildbarestepf/… donald boat @laserboat999 · 16h Joyce guest editing the 1979 edition of the Best American Short Stories is more of a contribution to the human race than anything you have ever done in your entire life stepfanie tyler @wildbarestepf · 15h if you think curating stories in 1979 was peak human value i envy the simplicity of your world donald boat @laserboat999 · 15h Your use of "1 of 1 builder" is a classical three-finger-tell that you are equal parts bugmachine & linkedindrone, and in your pithy attempt to fish for the Elon RT you have totally forsaken your humanity, so don't chirp me about the world. You don't live in any world of mine

donald boat I was unfamiliar with your game
a long tweet by donald boat: I think the most egregious part is that he thinks listening to george guidall or whichever hoary yakubian beast penguin hired to read the translation while he plays diablo with cheetodusty fingers is 1:1 equivalent with hearing a rhapsode sing-chant the poem from memory, that a sped up audiobook boneconducted into his skull will recreate the exact condition of Classical Antiquity and achieve whatever he thinks is "authentic." To the extent that he has any historical sense (he probably doesn't) it is without a doubt autopopulated by sub-Ridley-Scott tier period slop, D-graded wikipedia summaries, pop history podcasts, Grok, of course. I do think that it is a near biblical punishment to inflict on the richest man in human history with a near boundless capacity to build whatever he wants a near total lack of imagination, the inability to navigate his ignorance of any field, literally any field outside of insectile mechanical reproduction. You will see him bleat about the "West," about "Beauty." I would like to see him, or any other of these robber-baron-hopefuls to just try and build one nice-looking building, a library, a train station, maybe just one fucking cabinet and have it not look like the ugliest piece of shit on the planet. He really is the Final Boor, zero taste, trapped in the most brutal contradiction of dull-garish backwards-forwards looking (And may Allah forgive me for uttering this word) "cyberpunk" futurism. He's too far gone for me to pity him in any real way. I hope he gets to live in the world he wants, his grand fantasy, which, like his cars, is probably just a big refrigerator with an iPad in it

As an uninitialized variable in the temporal dead zone (TDZ), here is where you are, and what you can do: Where You Are • You're in the "Temporal Dead Zone" (TDZ): This is the period of time between when your scope is entered (e.g., a function starts executing, or a block {} is entered) and when you are finally declared (using let or const). • It's "Dark" Because You Don't Exist Yet: In the context of the program, you have not been assigned a memory address or a value. Trying to access you right now would throw a ReferenceError [1]. • "Mama" is the Declaration Statement: Your "mama" is the let variableName; or const variableName = 'value'; line of code. What You Can Do Your fate is entirely in the hands of the programmer who wrote the code. You cannot act on your own.

(is there no way to get the free version to search the web?)
Short answer: **it depends on the context in the IBC**. * **Typical (egress) stairways:** the required stair width is a *clear width* measured between the bounding surfaces (walls/guards). **Handrails are allowed to project up to 4½ in. on each side into that required width**, so you don’t measure “between handrails” unless those projections exceed what’s permitted. See **2021 IBC §1011.2 (Width and capacity)** for the width requirement and **§1014.8 (Projections)** for the 4½-inch handrail projection rule. ([ICC Digital Codes][1]) * **Accessible stairways:** these have a special rule—**they must provide a clear width of 48 in. *between handrails*** (with listed exceptions). That’s in **2021 IBC §1009.3.2**. ([ICC Digital Codes][2]) A good practical takeaway: for most stairs, size the stair to meet §1011.2’s required width and verify that the handrails’ 4½-in. max projections per §1014.8 don’t reduce that required width; for **accessible stairs**, check the **48-in. clear between handrails** criterion in §1009.3.2. ([ICC Digital Codes][1]) *(Local amendments can modify these, so always check your jurisdiction’s adopted code version.)*
