It was never a strong combat game imo. It’s a fantastic game despite the combat, not because of the combat.

996 is the concept out of the Chinese tech industry I’m familiar with - from 9 to 9, 6 days a week, totalling 72 hours worked per week.
Those things sound super great… but they’re of course all meant to keep you working around the clock, meeting deadlines.
This is not going to be universally true at all big tech-companies. There are places with perfectly reasonable WLB on top of huge salaries and fantastic perks.
These places are usually big enough that you’re going to see extremes on both ends within the same company - some departments with huge deadline pressure cultures, and some with highly relaxed work settings. It can be a bit of a gamble.
It’s true that it’s possible to ride all year, even in places with harsh winters.
It’s going to be decidedly less fun, though.
This was enough to tip the balance in favour of taking transit during the months of snow and slush here in Sweden, but I’m also spoiled for choice here. Now I’ve moved and have less of a ride to work, so I think I’m probably going to shoot for biking all year now.
I don’t know that I’d use ‘insanely’ as the modifier here as their position has weakened significantly over time, but they do certainly still play a large role in the Swedish labour market.
For the sophisticated sparkling beverage connoisseur.
One of the best things about living in a walkable place is that the concept of a weekly shop is basically dead - access to grocery shopping is available enough that I can go as many or as few times to shop as is warranted.
Granted, this usually adds up to once a week or less, but yeah. Big benefit.
This is an important concept to be imparted on those who do not understand the benefits of walkable places - a frequent question is how they can manage to complete their weekly shop without a car, since the car is in their mind needed to transport enough groceries to last the entire week. This is of course necessitated by the fact that their ideal location to shop for groceries is a significant distance away that can only be completed in a practical manner by car.
With where I live, this is unwarranted because I have access to convenient grocery shopping about 200 meters away by foot, and for ideal pricing I go 1 km away on a bike with storage on the rack. I do not want for variety either, I’ve got multiple speciality shops and 5 different grocery chains within a 1 km radius.
They also serve as a social signal. If you unlock something with a key, you are assumed to be the owner of it by bystanders. If you bust out a lock picking-kit and start going to town, you are assumed to be committing a crime by bystanders.
Community heating
Isn’t this just district heating? That has been the norm for ages in urbanized areas here in Sweden. District cooling is starting to become built out as well, given that climate change is mandating it little by little.
What a garbage decision, absolute peak cowardice. Resign immediately.
Anything the Heartland Institute publishes should never be treated as anything but toilet paper.

WFH means less carbon emissions, less time wasted in traffic, and less time literally putting your life at risk from vehicle collisions.
It speaks volumes that all of these problems are car-related. The whole push for WFH is a massive condemnation of how badly people actually feel about the effects of the car-oriented development that the U.S has been spending so much time championing.

A business-coded variant you can use if you want is “I don’t have the bandwidth for that”. It’s been effective for me so far.
I believe I already have, but I’ll make sure to give it a more intentional try next time I buy wine. Cheers!
A good wine does not have to be expensive. I actually should not be.
Hard agree, price is a feature. My favourite wines are generally Chilean or Argentinian for less than €10 a bottle, and they are out of this world as far as flavour is concerned.
Box wine is actually a staple in Sweden where I live, but again without the negative connotations. Great way to be able to enjoy wine in moderation without having it spoil early - having to either commit to finishing a full bottle or have it spoil is a major hassle.
An anecdote fully lacking in relevance on account of there being larger cities than Los Angeles which do not at all have the same problems efficiently moving their populations where they need to go.
It’s all about the transportation infrastructure.
