  1. Oct 31, 2021Twitter · reply@CarFreeHQ2 @alex_block It's just, where can you ride on the DC side that isn't high stress? I used to bike commute to LEnfant and the DC part always kinda sucked.
  2. Oct 31, 2021Twitter · reply@CarFreeHQ2 @alex_block I do think the majority of "bikers" crossing Long Bridge will be spandex-clad commuters, and for them a protected street route probably makes more sense than dodging joggers on the esplanade.
  3. Oct 31, 2021Twitter · repostRT @iamdevloper: For Halloween, I’m dressing as that side project you never launched… Boo.
  4. Oct 31, 2021Twitter · repostRT @elonmusk: @DrEliDavid If WFP can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right…
  5. Oct 31, 2021Twitter · reply@ne0liberal Ridiculous % of psychiatrists don't take insurance at all because demand is so much higher than supply... How is it equitable when you can spend $500 to be seen tomorrow or wait 3 wks for someone who takes private insurance, or 3 months for someone who takes Medicaid?
  6. Oct 31, 2021Twitter · reply@Pinboard What about seeding bacteria to other systems via solar sails?

  10. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · repostRT @keith_dorschner: @WholeMarsBlog We are not monkeys in a cage and Elon is not the zookeeper responsible for giving us our bananas.
  11. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@kulpability 🙄 they're both juvenile, but this one is so reminiscent of New Shepherd at least it's funny too.
  12. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · repostRT @alexiskold: @lpolovets The whole tax approach is a cluster. They keep layering in weird if statements instead of refactoring the whole…
  13. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · repostRT @bassett_green: @mattyglesias @jbarro Ohhhh that's what kicked off the whole $GME thing
  14. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@ph_hofer Half to make the guys laugh, half because maybe certain people need a concrete experience of how unworkable this is so they can knock it off
  15. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@ph_hofer 🤣 I may have once suggested a Privilege calculator app for a hackathon back in 2016....
  16. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@Duderichy Ideally at least two on different walls for crossbreeze and flattering natural light
  17. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@Pinboard Inspiration4 crew claims to have medicated this down to zero...
  18. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@hifuncornsyrup @Nexuist @Duderichy Yep, hypomania is a great way to increase charisma and confidence
  19. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@Duderichy @hifuncornsyrup @Nexuist Pretty sure flirting 😍

  25. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · quoteIt me https://x.com/BobbyBorkIII/status/1454582654851063811
  26. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@Aella_Girl Probably, presumably... Being supreme dictator gets old after awhile; power corrupts; persecuting a subgroup is a likely outcome.
  27. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@MediClit @zackmdavis Part of my preferred terms is that the man do the dictating 😩
  28. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@Engineer_1612 https://t.co/Ia2TzcttMz
  29. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@InfoSecSherpa I vote for a juicy red Zinfandel or Malbec to go with dark chocolate and a tarot reading 🍷🍫🪄

  32. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @VitalikButerin I know, I mean he's kinda cute but the femme version... Yum!
  33. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic Vitalia is hot! 💕
  34. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@EnerGeoPolitics @robinhanson This is the way forward for education- large catalog of standardized curriculum and tests, many small experiments on how best to insert knowledge into a student's brain.
  35. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@mattyglesias AMA has relevant expertise- they're great at restricting supply to drive up prices (salaries).
  36. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky GDP would go down as a result of fewer people, that's why the pro-growth people keep bullying women to have more children.
  37. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky But would you really want to use a Twitter that makes you a better person?
  38. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky That there be less humans and more wild mammals?
  39. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · repostRT @paulg: @ShaneAParrish @patrickc In his business it's important to know what's true. In their business the truth will probably get less…
  40. Oct 30, 2021Twitter · reply@HDakpo @_HannahRitchie "Australia’s biggest export products by value in 2020 were iron, coal, petroleum gases, gold and aluminum. In aggregate, those major exports account for 63.1% of overall exports sales from Australia." https://www.worldstopexports.com/australias-top-10-exports/ vs a relatively small population consuming imports

  44. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · repostRT @QuinnyPig: Enjoy your weekend, friendos. https://t.co/JFk6kxCHtJ
  45. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@tszzl @Lithros 🤔 it would make for a spectacular finish.... I'll add some extra backbends to my gym routine
  46. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@tszzl @Lithros Not sure I'm athletic enough for that one 🤣
  47. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@tszzl @Lithros (and this sort of thing is why I'm Forever Alone)
  48. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@tszzl @Lithros Lol, nerd alert ☺️ I meant theta for matrix transformation [cos θ 0 -sin θ 0 1 0 0 sin θ cos θ ]
  49. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@spyderms @simonch26478468 @iamtomnash I mean, credit for recognizing someone else's good idea and running with it, despite background with Ford and usual instinct to prefer your own plans.
  50. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@mattparlmer Yeah, the clearest feedback I've gotten has usually taken the form of "mmm don't stop!"
  51. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@tszzl @Lithros 🥰 What's your favorite theta?
  52. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@Lithros @tszzl bf who rotates shapes
  53. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@elonmusk 🤦 really?
  54. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@ESYudkowsky Wait, you're the killer AI guy, right?
  55. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@KenTremendous @danielsethlewis Save the whales https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0012444
  56. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@KhepryRe @ChrisBu29550966 @princessmom122 @mattyglesias Neuro-fascism is not a good look.
  57. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@bryan_caplan Why are you shifting bits?
  58. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@TaoOfChadC @mattyglesias I strongly dislike Trump himself and have voted and donated against him at every opportunity. But completely writing off one of two major parties seems like another step away from democracy.
  59. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@itnor1 @savvy5114 @mattyglesias Yes I do identify with "the rich" since I'm in the income range targeted for additional taxation. Locally I'm voting for a Libertarian.
  60. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@ESYudkowsky 2 yrs is a short timeframe for "I'll know it when I see it" flop... To me "flopping" would mean learning enough adverse info for former proponents to walk away from the idea... Most human brains don't update as fast as yours 😛
  61. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · quote@spacepillars https://x.com/Liv_Boeree/status/1327088630637031425?t=JBUMhDv3-XlYu1_qWlKDHA&s=19
  62. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@CarFreeHQ2 @TheoForARL Iirc there's an agreement for Arlington to use the Met Park conference center for some number of events per month... Would be curious to see how much control Amazon has around that, whether the conference center could be booked for a debate around platforms and antitrust?
  63. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@CarFreeHQ2 @TheoForARL I thought there was a public access easement... County website redesign grrrr
  64. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@hellolanemoore 1 & 2 are the same guy
  65. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@CarFreeHQ2 @TheoForARL I think East Elm St is designed to be easily shut down for events, which could include a protest... Otoh protestors might prefer the visibility of Army-Navy & Eads, in front of the Crystal Swirly
  66. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky Otoh the haircut of my local Libertarian candidate... https://www.theoforarlington.org/
  67. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@savvy5114 @mattyglesias But probably will vote Youngkin, to reward the VA GOP for running a ranked choice caucus that chose the moderate over "Trump in Heels"
  68. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@savvy5114 @mattyglesias What's funnier is that I'm also considering voting for Princess Blanding....
  69. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@KeiHarvest_ @princessmom122 @mattyglesias My policy preferences are in the middle- neither candidate is a great fit. In the primary my choice was between him and further left; I figured he'd have a more clear policy contrast in the general. Instead he's nationalized our state politics which I hate.
  70. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@ChrisBu29550966 @princessmom122 @mattyglesias Wtf, I'm just saying the word "insane" is rather insensitive to those of us with incurable mental illness.
  71. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@savvy5114 @mattyglesias Why not?
  72. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@princessmom122 @mattyglesias Yes I have bipolar thanks.
  73. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · reply@mattyglesias What happened was they chose to make it about Biden rather than Virginia... I'll be voting against TM despite voting for him in the primary back when I thought it was a race for gov.
  74. Oct 29, 2021Twitter · repostRT @vibronet: In the waiting area of my pharmacy, about to get my booster 💉 There’s a constant trickle of seniors and less seniors who coul…

  76. Oct 28, 2021Twitter · repostRT @edavidds: People hate on Amazon because they can’t stand the idea of a tall, powerful woman who doesn’t need a man. And I’m sick of it.
  77. Oct 28, 2021Twitter · postHQ2 walking tour- excited to hear many references to biophilic design 💕❤️💕 https://t.co/eDkDGTRRJB

  80. Oct 28, 2021Twitter · quote🤣 ok but Snow Crash is brilliant https://x.com/tapir_worf/status/1453847230130139156
  81. Oct 28, 2021Twitter · reply(the "boxy" skyline is the inevitable result of maximizing density next to the airport- FAA height limit chops off any spires or variation)
  82. Oct 28, 2021Twitter · post"the space turd is a-ok with Northern Virginians, but there were fears the surrounding office buildings would contribute to a “boxy and unimpressive skyline,”" ... 🤣 Accurate https://www.washingtonian.com/2021/10/28/amazons-hq2-plans-are-being-delayed-to-protect-the-beauty-of-the-arlington-skyline/
  83. Oct 28, 2021Twitter · reply@ericadyork @ahardtospell @GS_Watson Yeah, they really ought to get rid of the whole concept of "deductions" and then adjust brackets till they're happy with revenue and progressiveness.
  84. Oct 28, 2021Twitter · reply@OhlJeffrey @robinhanson I feel like C might come up with something boring, D would be interesting and experimental (given my personal prefs) even if it doesn't maximize value. I picked D since presumably I'd never have to hear about how I might've done more good with C.

  86. Oct 27, 2021Twitter · reply@goodtaxtakes Yes please!!!
  87. Oct 27, 2021Twitter · reply@nickythesaint @bryan_caplan My take on "Open Borders" is no visa caps or work restrictions or tariffs or onerous paperwork / fees / delays... I'd still want a check against outstanding arrest warrants and quarantines / bio restrictions as needed (ie ebola, mad cow, invasive snakes on Pacific islands)
  88. Oct 27, 2021Twitter · reply@Engineer_1612 @elonmusk Seems psychologically healthy to not want to isolate in a big empty mansion; he's busy with work and staying with friends. Plus housing is much cheaper in Texas.
  89. Oct 27, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky Stoicism / compartmentalizing / focusing on the future rather than rumination seems healthier tbh.
  90. Oct 27, 2021Twitter · reply@Elroydb @bryan_caplan I thought the suggestion was "open the borders, even if you must restrict welfare state eligibility to existing citizens to get it done"?
  91. Oct 27, 2021Twitter · reply@bryan_caplan Yes, left. I'd hope that a more focused efficient welfare state could be rebuilt from the ashes, but the total suffering alleviated by free movement is greater than the suffering created by revoking benefits imo.
  92. Oct 27, 2021Twitter · reply@DylanRaithel @jaylew333 @WholeMarsBlog Because you can't take it with you, your heirs didn't earn it, and it doesn't much change incentives around death (interestingly it does a bit- see death stats around dates when death taxes change) ... as a one-percenter heir myself, it does make sense.
  93. Oct 27, 2021Twitter · reply@kulpability @elonmusk @JayinShanghai "they" = my dear Sen Manchin ❤️
  94. Oct 27, 2021Twitter · reply@willlowthewhisp Lull as we collectively renegotiate norms around dating and relationships and many choose to sit on the sidelines rather than play by rules they don't like / deal with the discomfort of mismatched expectations.
  95. Oct 27, 2021Twitter · reply@WholeMarsBlog @elonmusk Honestly, I'm 100% sure McKenzie Scott would donate $5B to end world hunger if it was possible.
  96. Oct 27, 2021Twitter · repostRT @molly_struve: git blame damnit https://t.co/qbal5z5kr7
  97. Oct 27, 2021Twitter · reply@Pinboard Ofc robot economy runs on Martian crypto; a shadowy figure "Roko" puts a smart contract on Elon's assassination triggering competition among robot clans ending in a fevered chase down a lava tunnel and Elon dead without a mark on him (a la Hound of the Baskervilles)
  98. Oct 27, 2021Twitter · repostRT @TheMarsSociety: Microbes could help future #Mars explorers make rocket fuel and oxygen on the Red Planet https://www.space.com/mars-rocket-fuel-from-microbes @NASA…
  99. Oct 27, 2021Twitter · reply@Pinboard Oh idk, I like the scenario where we send self-replicating robots to establish an outpost, then Elon moves to Mars with the first human colony group, but the Martian robots decide that they're not interested in sharing... Self-fulfilling prophecy of death by AI.
  100. Oct 27, 2021Twitter · reply@PaganChild Sure, if you prefer McConnell as Majority Leader...
