Exactly. These requests are used to slow down everything and make public schools worse for their own political gain. They go against the spirits of these laws.

While I really enjoyed the article it keep claiming that all Neo-pagans / Witches are Wiccans. Wiccans is a specific subset of those who would claim the label of Neo-pagans / Witches.

However, I do suggest anyone who is interested to check out the Pagan Pride festival each fall. I went for the first time this year around Minnehaha and learned a lot of very interesting things. Also they have the best crafts and art. Moreover, the local metaphysical supply stores around town are cool to go to. Just to see what they have to offer

Always check both sides of the ballot and vote on everything.

This is an easy win and something that we should be doing. Investing in the environment is something we should all agree on. We all love the water here. Let's protect it

What it sounds like is an 18 year old who doesn't yet understand how the world works and how voting will work. You will never get a candidate (especially for president) who 100% matches what you believe. You got to pick the best realistic choice and try to get the best you can. Realistically a president has a limit to power and can't get everything but if you care abortion rights Kamala is who you pick. And getting a nationwide right to abortion back isn't nearly impossible. Its hard but not impossible

My house is decorated with either items from the antique store or from IKEA. There are reasons for both but you need to have unique and mass produced things. We have turned too much for the mass produced

Its fine to have free parking where there is space. There are less and less space so people might have to pay for parking but it should have people focus on none car options.

Bike parking is good for everyone. Also super easy to do

Removing parking minimums from new construction is a great method to slowly remove parking as a need to happen. This gives a great quick turn solution with a longer legs since only "needed" parking will be added as the surplus decreases.

I do feel that reduce car use requires both removing of incentives to drive (like free unlimited parked as an assumption) as well as adding other transit options. I know personally that if I know parking is going to be bad I start considering all my options since driving is such a default option. We need it both ways. Especially since adding more transit options are not going to be built unless people use them. People will use them if they have to which brings pressure to make more and better options. This works best when the people who need to use them are affluent and powerful. We need both

Its not even carbonated. I bought it thinking that carbonated coconut water would be awesome. It is not but tastes pretty good.

If you have a bunch of sales data, maybe you can focus on deriving purchase patterns and build a simple recommendations engine. If you want to focus on marketing, you could try lead classification. Ideas depend on the domain of the company you work for

This is where we get the fun part of definitions. Depending on what people think AI is this aren't AI. Most people mean GEN-AI aka the new fancy shiny thing. These are boring old machine learning, data science, statistical learning, data mining etc. (depending on your definition)

As long as he is hurting the "right people".....

I would love to end parking minimums everywhere. Where I live there are a large number of churches and universities which all have large parking lots. This means these streets need to be taken care of but can't get any city taxes for so the rest of us residents have to pay taxes to maintain them. I have no problems with universities which more than make it up with people and events. Churches are fine but with the parking minimums it means there are massive parking lots that only get close to full a few hours a week. That is the largest waste of them all.

Parking minimums seems like something that people think they need but once removed won't affect day to day.
