Yes, and Huntsville is very pleasant itself because of this. But they all assure me that you have only to drive a half hour out of Huntsville to know for certain that you are in Alabama. (The thank-god-for-Mississippi Alabama, that Alabama).

This is going to matter to some aerospace engineers and particularly the ones with spouses and children.

If the evidence around changes in Twitter content might be harmful to the business model and alarming to advertisers?

If the shoe fits, then what?

I happen to enjoy cooking, so I put effort into making meals on the weekends and I make enough to be able to eat them as leftovers midweek. Lots of meals taste better after a night or two in the fridge.

Trump’s behavior has always modeled organized crime. Insisting on loyalty above all, surrounded himself with lawyers, commingling funds, grabbing people’s mobile phones to use without leaving a record of the call on his own number, operating only through family…

It’s nice when you find that they really meant it all along!

HK'ers were using an Open Garden app called Firechat which by some coincidence has been discontinued and not updated since 2018.

I like how the interviewee remarked on his concerns for the younger union members.

I imagine the Teamsters are too large and too savvy to go for a new contract that creates a two-tier system of new members with a crappier package than senior members. They should know that would be a death spiral for union membership.
