All the other leaders in FTA are hack a Shaq players like Dwight, Drummond, & DeAndre.
8 more makes than the previous record holder (Adrian Dantley)

I've mostly rolled my eyes about the tanking discourse for several reasons, but I'm looking up highlights and not seeing a center on the floor for the 4th quarter.

Can't believe I'm legitimately mad about this. 😮‍💨

Bam, yous was cooking in the first half

Just pulled up the box sheet & yep. Only played their starting center 20 minutes & the backup center 7 minutes. Bam played 42 minutes total with 15 minutes against all guards & wings

43 free throws is absolutely bonkers!!! It's like the Wizards wanted Bam to break the rec.

Bam scoring 83 is incredible but there has to be tankery shenanigans going on. No way 47 points from the field & 36 from the free throw line can happen with real NBA players playing

Today is probably the first time I feel this thing is not that far away from being ready for prime time.

Still a lot of work, but I hope we can have this online by the end of April 🤞🤞🤞

Kinda a nice treat getting exposure to a part of the municipal code I never interact with. Idk why, but even after reading this similar language in state WAC/RCW, still a little jarring to see sections like crossing intersection diagonally or walking on sidewalk numbered in the municode.
Exciting!

Lots of little mid-rise single-stair buildings in my neighborhood, but this trio might be my favorite

Even a 1% inclusionary zoning set-aside produces a sharp decline in housing production (see above, the slope of the light blue line falls the steepest on the left).

And this causes annual rent increases for all renters *in perpetuity* as long as the policy is in place.

"IZ seeks to produce affordable homes by substituting land use policy in place of broadly shared taxes and public subsidies.
This analysis suggests that the public may be paying either way, and that the costs of IZ are both higher and more regressive than the alternative."

We should build new homes for middle class people in American cities.

I actually like going back and forth for Daylight Savings. I like having the extra hour of daylight in the evening in the summer and I like that it’s not dark at 8:30am in December

For @alonlevy.bsky.social and @stephenjacobsmith.com the new elevators shafts for the Mitternachtstrasse s Bahn stop are delivered as single pieces from a factory

I had convo a few days ago that helped me to start making sense of the point being made here. So, a project like the one below is likely submitting the project as Type IV? Whereas maybe a 5 story smaller footprint version that used wood frame walls would submit as Type III?

Introducing the SHUT UP Act, a bill that reduces harmful noise exposure and eliminates vehicle nuisances by making it a misdemanor to:

– modify your vehicle exhaust
– “roll coal"
– obstruct or cover your license plate
– excessively tint your windows
– use aftermarket LED headlights

As someone who was on the bike side of the barrier multiple times this week, thank you for your service, barrier 🫡

Lol, the only nay vote is one of my representatives, Farivar. District 46 electeds seem to have a weird stance on this bill, as Senator Valdez voted against last year's version of the bill.

"They tried to make us read. We're not falling for that trick."

I think the fiberglass poles & smartpanels sound like good solutions to push on for this scale of housing

Also, personal aesthetics shaping City Light policymaking & how fast they share solutions is 🙃🙃

The article would've been a great opportunity to share a picture of what the fiberglass poles look like and nope. Instead we got a "trust me it's too scary to share right now."

The decision to place the threshold at 4+ instead of 5+ units in February 2025, almost 2 years since 1110 was passed & during a period where Seattle's Comp Plan tardiness was a top discussion item, is notable.

Outside of this bill not moving forward (I didn't know this bill existed/also not sure the bill would do much) I really wish there was more public/political pressure on these police departments to not just throw their hands in the air & say this is hard. Trying to do sting ops is better than nothing

Yes, this is absolutely true. The US public or even private construction sectors cannot compete for talent with the software industry. The good news is that through international standards harmonization, we can benefit from European and increasingly Chinese work here.

Congestion charges have been enacted in quite small cities in the UK, notably Durham (population 50,000) and Oxford (population 165,000). The assumption that congestion charges are only for cities on a New York / San Francisco / Philadelphia scale is not necessarily correct.

Oh its because the media is a bunch of lazyfucks who just watch viral clips like every common mfer out there

This should be WA's economic development strategy. Pour money into K-12 public schools, child care, higher ed, research. Triple down on brain gain. Set us up for the next big thing.

Instead...Dems in #waleg and @governorferguson.bsky.social want to slash higher ed, K-12, child care.

Supporting the illegal aggression of your neighbor which has threatened to conquer you is frankly fucking crazy.
