Postscript: I walked by again today to confirm what I'd seen. The construction plans from 2014 (record 14PLN-00140) aren't online anymore, but the description is "for construction of a new 3,240 square foot home and basement on an existing vacant lot in the R-1 zoning district".

1/ NEW: During 12 fateful days in January, Chinese authorities failed to report any new coronavirus cases, lulling Wuhan residents into complacency.
Why? In part, because of cronyism and secret deals between the China CDC and three Shanghai companies

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?

As Washington state locked down, its residents flocked to nearby Idaho for summer fun. Now coronavirus is surging on both sides of the border. propublica.org/article/state…

“This holiday season presents a grim reckoning,” writes our science reporter Donald McNeil Jr. We must set aside justifiable optimism for an end to the pandemic between now and spring and confront the dark winter ahead, he writes. nyti.ms/36oWuIW

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.)

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)?
