Strava: seemingly saving people from themselves in the smoke zone.

Biffs only do this when they're in extreme distress

TOD: Train Oriented Deer

This is one of the weirder bugs I've ever seen in a program. Random text in a dialog box showing up in Hungarian. Reddit has scattered reports too www.reddit.com/r/excel/comm...

I have so many questions ... about the minimum $119 fine for driving over 15mph in this townhouse subdivision in Blaine (MN). * how is this enforced? * why is it a higher fine than the MN legislature authorized for Mpls to levy when drivers go 50mph in a 30mph zone * how many people have been fined

Discontinuity research designs in the wild, shared driveway edition (If you teach this stuff and feel like a silly photo of discontinuities at the border would go well on a lecture slide, please use it!)

Lest anyone think that with the Armistice near, the German army let up entirely on fighting, this is the second instance of a US POW I've seen captured on November 10, 1918. And I've seen one unlucky chap captured on the 11th.

Are there rules or customs for how long you should leave your 4th of July decorations out? Is it like Christmas where it's bad luck after 12 days to have them still up?

Not that I'm aware of. US states over-used license revocation for non-driving things like child support, which means there's legit concern about leaning on it for driving. For comparative purposes if you drive 15mph over the speed limit in Melbourne you lose your license, in Minneapolis $40 fine.

In fairness to Andrea Corbin this is true, and it's more generally true of the United States, and it's hard to know the counterfactual. To a close approximation Vision Zero in the US has been mostly a municipal effort in cities with already relatively low road fatalities

I explained to my friend ("see a legend before he dies") that Bob was unusually loquacious, and Jon Bream agrees

Seemed appropriate to celebrate the country's 250th with the highest athletic honor: Strava art for your birthday.

I'm a Stata user, but this is nonsense

This Argentina vs Cape Verde game is not that exciting apparently.

Yes. There was a good 10 minutes in the last 15-20 of the 90 where Australia had the momentum in a 1-1 game, and couldn't quite do it. Then the two free kicks in extra time in great positions. Would an Australian win have been slightly against the balance of the game? Sure. But that's soccer

Also, this was a really good readable article ... recommended to the #histmed crowd. Slot it in where appropriate

Sort of funny that an Australian university supplied this interlibrary loan request to me in Minnesota for an article published in Massachusetts. But also wonderful. Interlibrary loan is amazing. The internet that kinda existed before the internet (I'm so old I've filled out ILL requests on paper)

This ZipRecruiter page on salaries in the National Premier Soccer League that extrapolates from match-based payments to an annual salary, *as if players were playing ~ 2000 hours of soccer a year* is just about wet your pants laughing 😂 www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Nat...

Taking ~100lbs of books back to the campus office now the pandemic is over ... the car + wagon solution would have been much slower.

After goals apiece in the 7th and 8th minute we waited until the 83rd for Blizzard to score, Joy tied it in the 89th, and then won it in the 3rd minute of stoppage time.

It's all tied up 1-1 at the half for Joy AC vs Minnesota Blizzard in the NPSL match at St Thomas Academy in Mendota Heights @nonleague.northlandsoccer.com

Perfect symbolism of the American approach to crosswalks to have a relatively new crosswalk ramp, and then put a parking allowed sign there as well.

More pedestrian infrastructure without thought for pedestrians

In the other definition of hometown (where I grew up: Wellington), I honestly can't think of the ominous megastructure ... there's some Portland Cement towers near the ferry terminal ... and that's about it.

Every hometown's got the ominous megastructure, what's yours?

Alleys, a duplicate road network for once a week trash pickup, are some of the wasteful land use imaginable in low density residential areas. A pork chop alley intersection takes that to the next level.

What if you're just using it as an intensifier for something like how cold it is in Duluth? As I was typing this two riders had this convo audible to driver 🙍‍♀️: Do I know you? 👨 in friendly tone: F*** yeah, you do! 🙍‍♀️: Where you at these days? Etc It's not the profanity, it's how you use it.

In some ways pharmaceutical advertising has improved from the recent past ... (1958 advertisement in the American Journal of Psychiatry)
