Detroit failed because of automation and off-shoring. Things that could have been repaired or prevented politically, sure. But not directly caused by policies based in bigotry and ignorance.
If any correlation can be made, it's from white-flight. Which would be caused by Detroit's massive loss of jobs and Florida's massive loss of land. But white flight, imo, is the reaction, not the catalyst, of its downfall.
History has its eyes on them.
Florida woke and brown? Half the state literally needs to take a nap, and the only brown is in their Depends.
Pet peeve #209: implying DFW has a bigger furry scene than Austin. For some reason I doubt that.
If you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk.
If you save the cheerleader you save the world.
You mean to tell me, three days a week, they have to:
All for the same pay and several hours away from my family, home, or bed?
No fucking thanks.
Going remote was the best fucking raise I ever got, and it didn't cost them a dime.
I'll start integrating the webhookers with Slack.
This is bad practice.
More accurately it should look something like this:
# Load sys library for exiting with status code
import sys
def sayHelloWorld(outPhrase: str="Hello World"):
# Main function, print a phrase and return NoneType
print(outPhrase)
return None
if __name__=="__main__":
# Provide output and exit cleanly when run from shell
sayHelloWorld()
sys.exit(0)
else:
# Exit with rc!=0 when not run from shell
sys.exit(1)
We've been getting tons of rain here, but we are still in an outdoor water ban.
Between 8-5, no lawn watering (except golf courses and businesses), no washing your car (except at a car wash), no watering your ornamental plants (except for farms and garden stores). No filling your pool (even a kiddie pool) or running through the sprinkler (except at the water park).
It's not because of drought, but because one of our water sources is offline due to elevated PFAS, so they are blending water from other reservoirs, and those sources combined can't make up the extra demand.
And also protecting businesses by making sure we can't wash our own cars or lollygag through our own sprinklers. Gotta pay for that privilege.
We have to pay...for the privilege...of lollygagging through our sprinklers.
I get the lawn part. I hate lawns. But my yard is also a barren mud pit. I gotta put something down. Trying for mostly clover and other plants that don't need a ton of water, but they still need to stay moist to germinate and start off, and that's real tough to do if you can't water it during the hottest parts of the day. I don't really care what grows as long as it holds the dirt together and it's comfortable to walk on barefoot.
