@drvolts @EricLevitz Outstanding thread.

@nils_gilman Not sure we ever do, although generations return to the dust and people move on from white hot anger. Maybe then we get some pearls back? If you were in our position in 1968, you would imagine political assassinations would happen every year.

@nils_gilman It's highly doubtful that the other side will not cross Rubicon B when it suits them, with much less cause. The idea of preserving norms in the face of all of this norm-destruction seems like pearl clutching at this point.

@xander76 But for all that, homelessness is the signal urban issue here, especially when combined with mental health. Yesterday evening my son and I rerouted because a man was flashing and ranting. Not a rare occurrence.

@xander76 Agree partially. Even if not a direct victim of crime I step through broken auto glass, hear cars without catalytic converters, can't buy basic stuff from the drugstore, and share vids with neighbors of people casing our houses. It doesn't feel great.

@nils_gilman We had friends in Germany who had recently moved from the Netherlands where they'd lived for 10+ years and had 2 kids. They said they were rarely invited into a Dutch house and socialized mainly in parks, restaurants, and cafes. They were shocked to see the inside of our house!

@IDoTheThinking They hate hearing how low flow toilets and showers have actually reduced the amount of water used per person so we can have more people.

@HoustonTexans @pinkrocktopus I’m not at all offended, but I do consider Passover more of a baseball holiday.

@xander76 Gotcha. So censorship-resistance wasn’t specific to Axie-Infinity and/or N. Korea. Just the general blockchain concept.

@vance_maverick @drvolts Unrelated to this question, I thought of this today as one of these drove by me and I almost choked to death. Gorgeous car, needs electric motor.

@nils_gilman When I was there, wild horses were running around like squirrels. It was an odd sensation.

@IDoTheThinking So true in youth sports! When I was coming up, they moved the pitcher's mound from 45 to 60 feet when we turned 13. I was maybe 4'8".

@loridroste I agree the lawsuit is BS. But especially in Berkeley, dorms are the best chance we have of building publicly-funded housing at scale. UC needs to build more, and taller, and faster. Not $300m fancy hoteldorms — safe, decent, clean housing for 18-year-olds who want an education
