A sad tale on how moving from smaller local schools to one large school outside of town has externalized costs to everyone in terms of commute time, increased pollution, and making impossible healthy options like walking or biking.

I subscribe to The Athletic and read an article about Player X in Safari on my IPad. Next I went to the YouTube app and saw a page of recommendations, one about Player X. Google sees all, total lack of privacy.
Extremely maddening and frustrating to talk to your local politiicians in 2019 and hear them spout things like "changing light bulbs" and "better recycling education" as climate change solutions.

If you have a bigot problem in your community, it's because you want it there.
Period.
Yβall know that England has a bunch of official #cats with job titles?
My latest mechanical watch, a Sugess chronometer. The quality and detail work are amazing for the price ($220), the movement is beautiful thru the display back.
