Some people really like it, but not that many. Per the article:

Dividing votes (40) by location (215) gives the Cheesecake Factory—the restaurant that received the most total votes—a bestness rate of 0.19, or the equivalent of 19 votes per 100 restaurants. Lambert’s Cafe earns a bestness rate of 2.66—the equivalent of 266 votes per 100 restaurants. While imperfect, this method at least does not penalize restaurants for failing to be national chains—though, for the purposes of the poll, I accept all nominations at face value.

The number of people willing to carry food and water across the desert for a couple days, to be arrested while looking for nonexistent extraterrestrials is small.

I’ll gladly take a win even when their motives are not pure

There’s a formal definition of recession — two or more quarters of declining GDP. Weren’t into that at a national level, even if some specific areas were.

Sadly, yes

The Biggest

Rakhi Israni is in a different district from Loomer and the others they gave money to. They’re not behaving like a Democrat at all

Laws apply to Democrats

It’s on the voters to boot elected officials who don’t actually align with the party.

Yeah, Ethereum kind of tied the two together in my mind.

IMHO smart contracts are generally high-risk due to their adjudication system being code rather than people

I’m at friend of friend of friend level with one of the organizers.

Pretty much anything in the SF area has an effort to shunt cryptocureencies into it whether or not it makes any sense. This feels like one of those things

Maybe. Depends very much on how long-duration storage costs drop and what you actually pay for the nuclear power plant.

Per the article, they have a ton of investigations going. It’s not just him
