No.

A zombie body is formed from a single human body, dead and brought back to life. Also, a zombie craves flesh.

Single human body and craving flesh are necessary conditions.

TimSort is my new favorite sort.

And no, I do not believe it has anything to do with Ladardash.

But it is a very efficient and cool sorting algo.

As in, "the frigate's XO dated the corvette's tactical officer. No violation of regs; they weren't in each other's chain of command"

Oh no, now "Dr Zaius, Dr Zaius" is in my head.

I like the Hopwell

www.portcitybrewing.com/hopwell

We spent a summer evening there, once. I wasn't drinking, and had .... I think six of these ... for less than the cost of one beer.

I especially like that its a sparkling water, rather than a soda.

To whom do I report a data error?

Have I mentioned lately that I love this city?

I love that:
- The mayor's near daily informational videos
- residential integrated with commercial
- Enthusiastic discussion on bike lanes and traffic calming
- So many parades and parties

I am extremely grateful to get to live here. Thank you all

Yeah, what the heck was that?

After reading the article, I'm left with the same question I had going in - why is Alx opposed to this?

Granted, that question is now more nuanced: Why is the Legislative director opposed to this? What position does the City Council have?

No detriment implied to the authors.... but I am confused.

I wish I did! I was in a foul mood when the guy stopped by, and his insistence on blaming renewables irked me.

So, not much information. I'm not even sure what he meant by "Nova" - region? community college?

Unknown! It was weird.

04.03.2026 14:56 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Why is "Nova" sending a salesman door to door to say renewable energy is bad and the closing of the coal power plant means the State will pay us for energy efficiency upgrades as we an no longer meet energy demands?

Modal share data is typically gathered through travel surveys, which primarily focus on the primary mode of transportation a person employs for each trip during a typical weekday.

So - this is pre-covid how do you get to work surveys.

To avoid any disruptions caused by the COVID lockdowns, we specifically consider data from 2019 or earlier for US cities. Overall, our compiled dataset includes information from 794 cities. In 76% of these cities, the data is from 2010 or more recent, and in 93% the data is from 2005 or more recent.

Yeah, this may be accurate but not precise - and we're not seeing any error bars.

At which point, we're being shown precise data that has lost its accuracy.

But, don't know yet! I've not read the paper's methodology section.

Visualizations - Cities Moving

In this visualization of the data (citiesmoving.com/visualizatio...), we see Washington at 90% car / 6% mass / 4% active

And Alexandria at 97 / 2 / 2

This is much worse than my experience. So much so that I am having trouble believing it. I may need to read the article's data collection methods.

Wow! Just today, I saw you say you had no plans to move.

Way to go on making a decision and executing it!

I'm real curious about this one.

Did anyone ask the mail if they use that parking? As that feels like the most impacted delivery.

As for Ubers / delivery drivers: don't (almost) all these homes have off-street parking?

I get picked up by Uber in the middle of the street. There is an impact.

This is so great. Either you've written this sort of thing before, and your experience is showing - or you have a natural talent.

Either way, please keep it up. We need more of this!

So .... consequences?

24.02.2026 14:28 ๐Ÿ‘ 3 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Here's a bit that always gets me:
- a car can be left in a spot on our street for days, no problem
- but if I leave a bike, a dumpster, or use it for any other sort of storage?

Fines. Fines. Fines.

For those of us with no use for personal car ownership, it feels like a weird use of public space

For those present, online or in person: Was there anything in the public comments that wasn't covered by the City presentation?

My guess is the GOAT brought in everything, and that the public comments were all a retread.

... is that guess correct or wrong?

If wrong: What was new?

24.02.2026 13:50 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 5 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Can't tell if that's main character energy, or arguing in bad faith.

Both?

Likely both
