  • There are nonprofits that help organize to prevent the exploitation/displacement of low income populations while higher income areas are left to self organize. It would also have been useful to track political affiliation of these neighborhoods since it could be a political divide instead. I think people in the the $133k-$250k would be more conservative and thus more pro data center.

    As an aside: I wish people would quit using the term ‘working class’ to refer to income level, its such a fuzzy term. Using ‘low income’ and ‘high income’ makes more sense in this case as it better reflects what Geoff Holtzman is talking about and working class could be refering to employment type.

    The vibes on this version feel off. There was a version that was framed more positively but for some reason I’m only able to find it in spanish.

  • Those kneeling office chairs really hurt my knees, I’m too tall to use saddle chairs at a regular desk and with exercise balls its hard for me to get the height right. As far as chairs go what helped me was finding a chair with adjustible lumbar support, and adjustible spring tension on reclining. Steelcase used to offer all of these features but it looks like they don’t have as much adjustment now. I’ve heard good things about Herman Miller but I’ve never tried them. As for lifestyle changes: a heating pad to loosen cramps, free weights to strengthen, and a foam roller to help realign the spine have all helped me. ymmv obv.

    Once had a teacher explain to our class all the things you were not aloud to do with the school DSLR cameras. It was mostly what you’d expect: don’t leave it in your car, get it wet, etc., but when ‘don’t set it on fire’ got everyone’s curiosity the teacher explained that they had a student return a scorched camera with the excuse that they “wanted the audience to be able to feel the fire.”
