Wuhan Metro at Zhongnan Lu (中南路) and Hongshan Square (洪山广场) has a consecutive pair of transfer stations such that you can transfer cross-platform for *all* combinations. Hong Kong MTR does the same Prince Edward (太子) and Mong Kok (旺角站).

The demand resulting when everybody's electric backup kicks in can be bad. In the early 1990s I remember the western suburbs of Philadelphia having roving blackouts on the coldest days of the year (perhaps nighttime low around 5°F/-15°C) due to then-new houses with that setup.

At some point we do need to start using (renewable) electricity for heat. Ground source heat pumps are probably most efficient, but also hardest to retrofit into existing construction.

The Blair vs. Riemer margins in that poll look pretty small... and the Elrich vs. Blair margins look pretty large. (That makes the argument rather unconvincing to me.)
(I should also learn more about Blair...)

Some streets have better trees than others. Try Delancey from 21st to 18th, or Camac near Cypress, or Pine around 9th...

What flag do they show for +1? There are quite few options: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_…

But it seems worth testing the theory that the difference between one-time transfers and regular transfers is important.

We got a little bit of hail around 7:05-7:10pm I think, but not quarter size. Heavy rain continued until about 7:30pm. Most rain we've had from one storm so far this summer.

Calling the place where Penn State is University Park rather than State College feels weird to be, though I admit I've never been there. I did grow up in Pennsylvania, though.
I think the sign came down not long after I moved desk from there to the northern corner of the building. (I have a photo of my new desk there taken in December 2016, probably not long after moving desks.)
No, that was on the 7th floor of the San Francisco office at 2 Harrison Street. The kitchen / presentation area was on the opposite side of that wall. (It was close to the eastern corner of the building, maybe roughly underneath the second L in HILLS BROS COFFEE.)

I don't think (2) is correct, see
Very glad to see the dissent point out that the claim (not just the majority but way too many poorly informed pundits) that the U.S. was some kind of outlier on abortion policy is nonsense that requires willful ignorance about how abortion law in Europe actually works in practice

Has housing really done better than alternative places to put money (like, say, google.com/finance/quote/VTI… )?
(We recently bought a house for the first time, and it wasn't fun. But we've definitely also had issues with renting.)

And there's more (next block to the east) built during 2021. (Actually haven't been to that block this year to see how it's going...)

In new research, @_wesjenks & I compare trends in traffic fatalities in the US & France. The comparison isn't good.
Had the US per-capita traffic death rate equaled that of France since 1994, the US would have had 387,000 fewer deaths by 2021. 🧵

Yeah, I could swear I saw a different Hazardous Weather Outlook a few minutes ago, but I do see that one now. (Still no mention in the actual forecast.)

All forecast.weather.gov/MapClic… says about wind for tomorrow is "East wind 5 to 7 mph becoming northwest in the afternoon."
