I lost some, I won some.
According to the video, the places aren’t being built to be attractive to live in but to be cheap upfront investments for landlords (so not just small but crappy layouts and quality overall), and the majority of said landlords are “middle class” (their words) couples rather than large companies.
For hands-off investors, maybe. Directly responsible parties should see jail time though.
There’s a Brit Marling movie where exactly that kind of thing happens to some corporate execs. (I think it was a chemical company instead of mining though.)
The title is…
The East
Saw this vid earlier today! It’s like an extension of that earlier one that also touched on the dual stairwell issue (though I believe the containing video was about something else). But yeah, it’d be nice to see more nuanced conversation about these topics in more places.
He should, and he can, but he doesn’t.
I misread that bit by the QR code as “scam here.” Somehow I think that’s equally accurate.
My first thought before reading was that it’s a shame of course, but not a surprise. While reading, I didn’t see (or missed?) if charges are going to be laid in this case. Maybe they’re just gathering info on who to charge? Surely there have to be existing laws that suffice.
I tried to find where Haaretz wrote about STOIC (as referenced in this article), and instead came across an article about STOIC having had a campaign to influence lawmakers. (It’s paywalled, but the comments section is interesting.) There’s also a headline off that page about a march of nationalist Israelis through “the Palestinian area of Jerusalem,” chanting:
“Death to Arabs.”
This post specifically says you can’t (without the bypass many won’t understand how to do).
Can’t get past the paywall but I hope India will see a better future with a leader who cares for all its people.
Ransomware suspending hospital operations? That’s an actual horror story…
We all like to joke about cats leeching but they’re definitely not Capitalist. They’re hunter gatherers for whom the concept of hoarding resources doesn’t exist. To them, when there’s plenty, you vie for it all within the social group (seems there are hierarchies?) and no one has to go hungry and there’s no waste (including wasted energy). This also preserves plenty of leisure and social time.
If raised in an environment where it makes sense to hunt and you encourage them to do so, they’ll happily contribute what they believe to be palatable food. If left alone, reasonably fit cats can fend for themselves too if necessary.
They’ll take what shelter they get and bury their waste so it can fertilize the ground.

Regnier still works from home one to two days a week, and has been even more lenient with Santander’s 19,000 UK staff, with office-based workers only expected to be onsite two days a week.
“I don’t think it’s absolutely vital that people spend all five days a week in the office as they did pre-Covid,” Regnier says from his sixth-floor office near Euston station in London. “And, actually, had it not been for Covid, I wouldn’t have accepted this job, because I wouldn’t have wanted to be away from home five days a week in London. That wouldn’t have been good for the family or for me.”
This has helped Regnier, who is paid £3.3m to run the UK’s fifth-largest bank, gain a reputation as an “approachable” boss, according to a former colleague
Nobody should be paid that much but he’s an outlier for the industry in allowing hybrid work at least.
Yup! I don’t read most spoilers but I at least know we’re finally getting into some long-awaited lore. :)
Biden’s older than a Boomer though, he’s Silent Generation. (Trump is on the older end, but indeed a Boomer.) I’m curious if you’ll ever have a Gen X president some day, but it’s not really generation that matters so much as having someone of reasonable intelligence who has empathy and integrity instead of yet another power-networking fundraising wizard.
We’ve almost made it now. 1115 is coming very soon. :')
Personally, I like to check both Firework (for the forecast animation), and Accuweather (for additional local measurement data).
I’ve been meaning to look into the history of how the secular left was crushed in much of the Middle East. Thanks for the reminder.
Yes, here’s another joke (you might be able to see the first couple of reviews without logging in):

My first thought was misfolded prions. Sounds like one possible avenue of the potential harmful “environmental exposure” the microbiologist (and CJD researcher) in the article was talking about.
