On the border of 4-6 & 6-10, yeah. Spent around $150k on rent before moving back in to care for elderly parents.

I was in whatsinthis when it started. I still have a shitpost up there that I’ve got an update for but never posted.

Number 9 looked remarkably like my day job.

I think you may have misread the Wikipedia page. There were 300-400,000 in NYC alone.

I was in Boston and there were 10s of thousands, even though it was February and sleeting, SF had another 150-200k.

I think there was a sizable group in DC too.

I’ve interacted with less than 100 but the highly trained pit mix rescue across the street still broke her leash, ran down my corgi and picked her up and shook her. The owner tackled her and our corgi was mostly ok (needed stitches on her neck, but no life threatening injury) and the owner readily payed the bill directly, but t by that dog had had months of interventional training by no-expense-spared training and still went nuts on a dog on the street across from its house.

Setting B-net on ski race courses is like this. 10 minutes in and you’re sweating bullets, strip down to undershirt layer.

We’ve also had to fully shovel 1.5km of course when 8-10 inches of snow fell the night before. On top of the exertion, you’re literally wasting a powder day. The snow cats can’t groom it because the course will be too soft, and when it’s that cold we can’t salt the course either, so it’s shoveling and slipping (using your skis like snow plows) the course.

I have to bring a second or third dry layer because after the setup we have to stand around in the subzero temp for the next 5-7 hours no matter the weather (winds can be insane as long as it’s not enough to shut down the lifts, but it’s better than rain or sleet).

Then we gotta take it all down.

And I do this for $80 a day and free passes for my kids and I. Still better than roofing by immeasurable amounts.

A really good mine sweeper clone on iOS and Egg Inc with my 7yo helping with the calculations is surprisingly high on my list.

I90 (mass pike still I think) west of the i84 split is the longest gap in the state I think.

There was a MacBook 12 inch like this that my business partner loved. It would last all day on a charge and he was building our app with it (Xcode and I think clang builds).

This was 10 years ago though.

There might be a couple stretches in Ohio, but this isn’t one. There’s a spotin Massachusetts that’s like 60 miles round trip if you miss the exit, and it’s a tiny state!

The parking lots themselves are a big cost to the rest of us though. At least they could be offsetting some of the environmental costs of sprawl.

Plus the electricity production should offset it in a few years, especially in the places wheee shaded parking is most desirable.

I was thinking like a paraquel. Where the second movie takes place at the same time, but from completely different perspectives.

Would be cool to highlight people with main character mentality.

I’m still annoyed that solar frickin’ parking lots (canopies, not panels on the ground) aren’t mandated in all new lots.

With all the mandated parking on the sprawl we could probably solve at least EV charging anxiety. And with some grid storage it would make a perfect use of otherwise wasted land. Plus keep the cars parked underneath cool.
