My favorite FRA incident was when the guy at security forbade me from taking items out of my bag that I knew would need to be X-Rayed separately, only to have the X-Ray guy fail the bag and run it through again with those items separated.

"Mandating off-street parking, even when we’re fully aware that it makes more and cheaper homes impossible, requires a judgment that housing cars is more important than housing people."

Though sampling different kinds of plastics in a different place gives a different result, although also not the ones we talk about a lot: mobile.twitter.com/ShaneDPhi…
And Daxing Airport is the winner for first. It's been handling commercial flights for a few days (flights moved from Nanyuan), although the big chunk of flight moves from BCIA will happen on October 27.

NHC just officially upgraded Lorenzo to a category 5 hurricane.
For comparison, here are all Atlantic category 5 hurricanes in modern records (1950-2018), for the full calendar year (left) and on/after September 20th (right).
This is an extremely rare event.

This "crisp fall weather" thing is nice for about 15 minutes, and after that I just wish it were warmer again.

As to why not both:
* having dense buildings laid out in a grid rather than a line is much more likely to create a walkable neighborhood (and a pleasantly-walkable one)
* having more stuff near transit (i.e., Caltrain) & in walkable places reduces # living in car-dependent places

The administration is planning on reassigning roughly 200 career Bureau of Land Management staff. Most see this as an attempt to get them to quit, rather than uproot their lives & families.
This would gut the agency tasked with protecting federal lands. propub.li/2mtNlKA

We have been informed by the whistleblower’s counsel that their client would like to speak to our committee and has requested guidance from the Acting DNI as to how to do so.
We‘re in touch with counsel and look forward to the whistleblower’s testimony as soon as this week.

5. That essay on the Johnson impeachment evolved into this cover story, published in January—on the five discrete benefits the process of impeachment delivers, even when it doesn’t remove a president. If you haven’t yet read it, I hope you will: theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…
