Take up shelter in the base of my spine

i need to find video of practice when somehow the 2 left the final chicane going left and fish tailed to the right and smacked head on into the outer wall

this was before he spun out on the inner loop during the race in a backup car and before he just didnt turn in turn 1 towards the end and just crashed

also they actually cut back the length of the tire wall next to the final chicane after cars kept clipping it/driving through it

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
years ago, our crackhead mayor balked at the idea of having mixed income housing on the waterfront.

evidently living by the lake was only for those who had "earned it"

i think i've seen apartments in palo alto. no guarantee that they weren't right outside the city limits though.

i would not be surprised to see that multi unit housing is banned in los altos, woodside, foster city, or atherton

They’re going to put those apartments in our parking!

atherton’s prolly a better guess

but really it’s almost certainly all of the above - all you need to do is ask yourself whether any of those places have multi-unit housing that’s newer than like three decades

Jeff Bezos blinked.

Bowing to political pressure, he announced plans Tuesday to raise the minimum wage for all Amazon.com Inc. employees in the U.S. and U.K.

Effective Nov. 1, the company will offer $15 an hour to more than 250,000 current employees along with 100,000 more seasonal workers who will be hired during the holidays, Amazon said in a statement. The hourly minimum wage in the London area will rise to 10.50 pounds ($13.60), and 9.50 pounds in the rest of the U.K., affecting some 37,000 current and seasonal employees, according to a separate statement.
