The soda can bridge was never properly reassembled after the move from 1350C Villa to 1981 Landings...
Also, it's worth noting that many of the soda cans in the bridge had 1996 olympics special stuff on them.
Here's a picture from 1350C Villa, on 2003-12-10.

I admit I had the jar refrigerated even before opening, because I was worried it would go bad. I also switched to starter from February through July because I was worried I wouldn't be able to buy more.
The 2 loaves had 340g whole wheat, 280g rye, and 390g white bread flour.

Today's tale of things being just fine past their expiration date:
This lovely rye bread is one of a pair of loaves I baked today. They're the last bread baked with this jar of active dry yeast that wasn't supposed to work after March 28, 2013. (Yes, I overbought around 2010.)

This might have something to do with honoring versus ignoring the underline offset (and thickness) metrics in the fonts.
Could also be related to the rules about how text-decorations are drawn, which are designed to avoid a single underline changing position/thickness.

I prefer to think about the tipping point symmetrically.
One other interesting tidbit: looks like the only "state" that moved from one side of the tipping point to the other (not counting the 1/10 of Wisconsin) was the Nebraska 2nd district.
Er, wait, isn't it the boundary between Wisconsin and Pennsylvania?
That is, wouldn't a uniform shift of margin between 0.63% and 1.16% (or half that in votes) have given a 269-269 tie, after flipping GA, AZ, and WI?

Check out the short term parking restriction in front of 23andme offices in Mountain View...

I've spent a lot of time right around Dongmen (stayed multiple times 2 places nearby)... but I don't think of it by districts. I had to look up which district of Taipei the photo was in. (Other side of the Orange Line is Zhongzheng District.)
A photo of an urban environment I like [32/N]:

Compare to tweet #14, which is nearly the same view, but at night, with lots of crowds. This is 8:30am on a Sunday morning.

On a different topic, can any eagle-eyed readers name the city pictured in my phone's background (in the previous tweet)?

The alerts used to be called “Public Safety Message”. Now they're called “Emergency Alert: Extreme”.
(I hope the quarantine requirement is retroactive to people who arrived within the last 14 days, but since it's unclear, I assume that in practice it won't be.)

Android annoyance of the day: why would I ever want “Reset All Timers”? Can I make it not be there?
It's like a one click “mess up my life” (or at least my dinner) button.
I've managed not to do this, but I'm always afraid of it.

These photos (from the real estate listing at 905waverley.com/) do not look like they're for servants.

Oh, I already did; see nitter.vloup.ch/davidbaron/statu… (thread) and nitter.vloup.ch/davidbaron/statu… ... but our common readers might still enjoy it.
That screenshot cuts off another key piece. (And if you walk around rich parts of Palo Alto you can spot the new houses by the light wells and the egress ladders for their basements.)

They sort of do count for lot coverage, since they're not allowed to "extend beyond the building footprint". (PAMC 18.12.090 (a) codelibrary.amlegal.com/code…) But you're right about FAR, and that's why they're so popular.

Some of us remember Bush v. Gore. Giving party affiliation of judges has seemed necessary since then.
(And remember that under many counting standards, Gore should have won the election: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_U… .)
The phenomenon predates Trump. When party affiliation proves to be poor predictor of how a judge or justice will vote in controversial or high-profile cases, then it may stop.
