>it's got more than twice the population density of Houston
You're comparing a neighborhood of Boston to one of the largest cities in the US.
A more apt comparison would be the West University Place suburb of Houston that has roughly the same population density and similar size as JP. It's an older Houston suburb.
A "dense" suburban area would be something Jamaica in Queens, NYC. That has something like 6 times the density of JP.
That just looks like many older, low density suburbs (single family homes with some duplexes and ADUs sprinkled in) all across the US (especially older suburbs in the South).
>It is dense
It's absolutely not dense, probably less dense than newer suburbs with smaller lots.
>walkable, and extremely beautiful.
I'll give you that, it definitely looks beautiful.
Wow. This is one of the most chilling things I've seen in a long time. So divorced from reality (suffering from TDS) that they're on the "war is peace, ignorance is strength"-level of delusion. They're the ones who have elected themselves as the arbiters of what is "fact", what is "truthful". Orwellian is underselling how insane this is.
>Rittenhouse had just actively shot two people.
No he didn't. He had just defended himself against two assailants, while trying to flee. He was never, at any point in time, an "active shooter".
An "active shooter" is "an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area; in most cases, active shooters use firearms and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims."[0]
He had a pattern of selection. Kyle shot and neutralized those who were trying to kill him (or cause grievious bodily harm). That is, by definition, self-defense, not an "active shooter" event.

QED.
>The US has a long history of letting murderers off the hook when there is a racial component.
Luckily that wasn't the case here so your comment is immaterial, a straw man.
Was super excited at first, but then saw it's NFS access only. I don't see any options to do "zfs send" to ship entire encrypted datasets over.
>Isn’t bias simply a matter of perspective?
No, there are objective studies of bias.
>Isn’t it simply relative to one’s own bias?
No, there are left, center, and right sides of the political spectrum.
>A consequence of how one measures it?
No. You can objectively measure these things regardless of where you personally lie on the political spectrum.
There's literally a science behind this: political science [0]

Everything has bias. What's wrong with an alt-right bias? Isn't a complaint of bias in itself a bias?
A publicly funded media arm having an ideological bias is scary.
NPR's fascination with and fetishization of race is sad to see. The fact that they list the 1619 Project (an ahistoric and well debunked project) as a "book we love" was all I needed to see. The mask fell off and the leftist/wokeism bias is on full display.
The past few years the stock market has been so divorced from reality that I wouldn't read too much into it.
Lead shot has been federally banned for almost three decades.
They're still around, just not as fashionable these days. I was under the impression that they get the same MPG that SUVs get, so they're equally inefficient in my mind.
If you have two kids and the grandparents live with you (our situation), unfortunately SUVs are more or less the only option. Otherwise you take two cars everywhere, and two sedans are worse for the environment than one SUV.
Considering it still runs a large percentage of the WWW, I would say it is a bit unexpected.
It's been an interesting ride the past few years as a software engineering manager: many junior engineers have never developed or deployed anything that requires Apache

Some have never even heard of it, or seen it in the wild.
If SF city was a person, $1.5M would barely cover breakfast and parking for a day.
