I lived in the Kansas City area for many years. It is stuck between a rock and a hard place.

But they do have Gate's BBQ and great blues.

Who calls them "bottleneck episodes"? That doesn't make sense. The episode is a bottle episode because it is bottled up in one location. A bottleneck episode would mean that one episode somehow dictated the maximum speed of the series?

A program that uses modern language processing to let you play old or new text-based games without the annoyance of their clunky interface. Especially if it also worked with voice so you could play it as you do other menial tasks.

NOTE it would have to use minimal compute. No using Claude to do it all. Just focused AI in the language processing.

An easy one I would do myself if I had more time. A calorie tracker that does not try to get you into a cult.

  • The only time it accesses the internet is to update its on-board database.
  • None of your data gets sent anywhere unless you choose to share it (for things like new foods).
  • No suggestions.
  • No exercise programs or tracking
  • No sleep tracking.
  • Tracks only what you want. Extras available through add-ons or something, but I don't care about tracking nutrients, fat, carbs, etc. so keep them out of my way.
  • In short, follow the Unix guideline of an app doing one thing and doing it well.

I think Parks and Recreation had the absolute most unrealistic time-scales. The things they could get done in an afternoon or evening was absurd.

It is not only the AmTrack website. The rail line is really bad as well. In summer your train can be stopped because the rails are too hot. The rails expand too much and warp enough to make it unsafe to run the train on.

I think we need a new system from the ground up.

The "real estate novelist" tells you he is not where he wants to be.

From that article: "an aide to Clinton said the 2016 race was never specifically discussed and that it was only a casual chat." The closest thing in the article to Clinton encouraging Trump to run is that they say the conversation was "upbeat."

I feel like you are reading too much into that.

The solution is Ranked Choice Voting. Anyone can run and voters rank all the candidates. So if you put Stein (for example) first and she doesn't get enough votes, your vote then goes to your second choice, and so on. It lets you vote the way you really want it to go, not just strategically.

What is your source for the Clintons "convincing" Trump to run? According to Politico "What the sources from both camps agreed upon, however, was that Clinton did not urge Trump to run. " https://www.politico.com/story/2015/08/report-bill-clinton-talked-with-donald-trump-as-he-was-considering-white-house-run-121052

But you are part the flag. I think of this as the unity flag. We are all on it.

Good article, but this typesetting nonsense made me wish I had my own police force to beat up the offender:
