If everyone just stayed home for 4 weeks, we'd all emerge and think, "wow! we overreacted." But that's the best case scenario/as it should be.

More plot twists in these 48 seconds than in three hours of a Lars von Trier film
The circle of life…
A cheetah is enjoying a fresh kill but vultures are standing by.
Every time the cheetah turns around to start eating again, the vultures move-in closer.
Finally the cheetah gives up but before the vultures get to eat, a lion swoops in to steal the kill.

Even assuming that each curb takes 2 hours to prep and another 2 hours to paint, i.e. only 2 curbs could get done by a single crew in a workday, there's gotta be at least 50 available crews to do this. Assuming interruptions, etc.: it could all get done in under a month

My neighbor told me about the "21-story apartment tower" they were planning on building next to our neighboring

station. She went on for a while and I was thinking about how great it sounded.
"We have to stop it!"
That is the precise moment at which I was radicalized.

I'd written an article about something early-modern Spanish; the reviewer commented that I clearly had taken only a couple years of high school Spanish. It's my native language and at that point I'd spent 2 years in Spanish archives reading early-modern stuff.

This is the beginning of a reasonable path forward. Glad to see a major org acknowledge that requiring a $1500+ buy-in for candidates to just be able to get themselves physically to a conference keeps academia inaccessible to people without independent wealth.

When I moved to the Bay Area in 1998, two things that random housemates said that I initially thought were trolling:
a) that BART stopped running at midnight,
b) that there was no space for more people, because it was already "built out" here

I wish we could get a month's worth. Our limiting factor is milk: two gallons gets us _maybe_ 12 days, and then after that we add another day or so with a can of evaporated. So we end up alternating a big run with a dairy run.

In grad school, there was a dinner with both professors and grad students (not any sort of official event, so everyone expected to pay their way.) One of the professors got drinks, appetizer, dessert, and was then the person to suggest that the bill should be split evenly.
