The big box district where I live is surrounded by apartments and has more parking than it needs…what’s the economic / zoning reason why this isn’t normal? I’m sure there is one (or many) but they aren’t immediately clear to me.

I’ll be deleting Twitter in the next few days. If you want to continue to follow me, you can mind me on the #Fediverse at @aWildThorp@appalachian.town and @aWildThorp@TriangeToot.party.

What the Dutch!? It's getting colder. So @GeorgiousDesign invented the Cyclo-Knitter; a pedal-powered machine that knits a scarf in the 5 minutes you are waiting for a train.


Maybe a hot take, but God I hate truncated terms like #i18n, #i10n, and #a11y. They're like acronyms (famously awful to work with) except even when used in a sentence it's not always clear what the speaker means unless you know the term ahead of time.

After reading this sentence, if you currently have TikTok installed on your phone, are you going to keep it? Why? If you choose to keep it, what would be the threshold that would make you uninstall? How much would they have to take from you to be “too much”? Honestly asking.
