Ah. I definitely see that, but not sure I see a workable solution. Wouldn't this result in, like, a US court determining who is legally Jewish? That seems... Frought.

I'm not sure I understand your concern. What's the enticement for conversion here?

Congress Allocates $80 Million to Build Blue Hill Ave. Busway - Streetsblog Massachusetts Combined with existing pledges of funding from other federal, state, and local sources, the project is now fully funded for construction.

To be clear, this isn't an action by Wu, it's a proposal from 2 City council members. Wu's admin isn't doing great here, but that's because it's going to cost $160 mil to build the busway and the project was stalled for basically her full first term.

If I allowed myself to use it I would lose the ability to actually write, which is how I process my thoughts. People in my field talk about how it will massively improve productivity. It might, but I know my work would suffer. It's tomorrow's problem, maybe I'll be dead by then etc

extremely rigorous tufte-compliant chart without axis labels or quantities. chart depicts three possible futures for humanity, depending on our collective handling of popover batter: a popover singularity (chill and rest batter), a conventional butter-boosted growth path (batter rested), and a flopover apocalypse (batter neither chilled nor rested)

Newsletter from Sen. Jehlen's office saying we need more housing, but just building housing alone won't come close to solving our housing crisis, so we need affordable rental homes for extremely low incomes.

Headline from Cambridge Day: Somernova benefits agreement arrives at a vote, question of tech growth, neighborhood factors.

Text from article on Somernova:
Massachusetts state Sen. Pat Jehlen lives down the street from Somernova and, along with seven neighbors, published notes detailing specific concerns about the community benefits and associated zoning. The notes cite concerns around increased traffic from commuters in an area that already sees frequent backups, such as at the intersection of Park Street and Somerville Avenue, wish there was more green and open space in the plan and take issue with the increase of building height to 200 feet from 60 feet.

β€œWe are in full support of the creation of a community center and expanding artist space (though Rafi’s record has not preserved artist space in the past),” the notes read, referring to Artisan’s Asylum’s move from Somernova, β€œbut we do not believe that we need to concede such scale to Rafi Properties.”

That's my district! Exciting news. Sen. Jehlen has been relatively good on a lot, but abysmal on housing production.

There's something dark about that being a mitigating factor. Why shouldn't it be an aggravating one? Your husband was killed in a crash and you still chose to drive recklessly!

Also if she were really remorseful, would she be fraudulently transferring assets to escape a civil judgement?

Only thing I know about 2020s Tooze is his podcast is so bad it's like outsider art. It's the co-host asks questions style of podcast, and all of his questions are 4 min of mindless chatter followed by "... Thoughts?"

attys fees for frivolous claims are capped at reasonable expenses. Could they get actual costs if it's a separate claim?

2. It also includes a request for declaratory judgment that the xai TOS is a valid contract. Wouldn't that make it more likely a judge joins the two actions through FRCP 42?

I'm a 2L so my civ pro memory is fading quickly but I looked up the lawsuit - there's no term in the X TOS giving damages for violating the forum selection clause.

1. I'm assuming that this is not a counterclaim, but a separate claim, because

I don't see why it's controversial to think that even when they are not liable, a company should do something to avoid a ton of preventable deaths. Also passengers do not like killing people...

My school uses electronic blue book, which locks down your computer to only be able to access the test page. That seems relatively fool proof?

Both of the 2 out of 3 people who've settled got $450k ea; in both cases half or more of that just covered legal fees. The costs are extremely high because Cuomo's lawyers are doing insanely aggressive discovery requests that cause a lot of further litigation

The costs here come from Cuomo going *extremely* hard in discovery, which prompts a bunch of expensive fights. Tort reform wouldn't help, the NY law that covers these legal expenses needs to be clarified and reformed
