I clicked on this expecting an interesting article about the complexity of the game, but instead it devolved into a hit piece on its creator. I'm not interested in the creator's background or personal beliefs! I came here to read about the puzzle game itself!

what are the pros and cons of having a data center in your county? and does it actually change residents day to day lives in any noticeable way?

Worked on awardlocker.com for a while, an award flight search engine. I ended up buying a bunch of business flights with points so my interested died down a bit, but quite useful!

This cars got a face that only a mother (Jony Ive) could love. Honestly it makes a prius look visually pleasing.

> Given some of the retraction of "warm feelings"

Why do you say this? Is this coming from personal experience, or anecdotally?

- I used "Sanctuary city" as a synonym for a "soft on crime" city.

- An example of who I classify as an "activist judge" is Teresa Stokes. She let out the repeat offender with 14 prior arrests that stabbed Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte[1].

As much as I dislike flock. There's definitely a case to be made for the business model where first responder companies can generate huge amounts of taxpayer funded ARR in "sanctuary cities" due to criminals never getting actually serving sentences. If criminals are stuck in the:

"Commit crime -> brief retention period -> activist judge lets you go" loop, then you can definitely build a business model that just capitalizes on the fact that there's no consequences to committing a crime, and local/state governments have to waste copious amount of money due to the incredibly inflated demand of first responder services.

Yeah, basically disinterested. Somewhat burnt out from doing things I normally love doing such as going on walks, programming on weekends, gaming, and work. It wasn't a really big problem, I only noticed it when looking retroactively at my experience.

Mentioned above, but "I worked out 6 days a week still, but swapped out 1 of my leg days for a run day (between 2-4 miles)"

I tried retatrutide for 10 weeks, here are my results: Before: 5'7, ~182lb

Bench 1rm: 315

Squat: 5x10 225

Deadlift: 5x5 315

After: same height lol, 154lb

Bench 1rm: 285

Squat: 5x10 205

Deadlift: 5x5 275

Suffered some anhedonia towards the end but that went away ~1wk after stopping. Overall pretty good, not any side effects. Definitely fixed my food craving problem. I didn't have a high intake of protein during the 10 weeks, so I suspect thats why I lost muscle mass :/

The tooling around finding these references cycles (Instruments) is 2nd to none imo.

theres a github app you can download. I imagine the note editing experience on the mobile app is a bit subpar.
