Setting Not Settling

Late night for me -- I made a jello for a family fest, and we all know how I am about every layer setting and being just right.  That means every layer has to set, and that takes time.  More time than I thought, as I did much but not all of what I wanted to do while making it.  Unfortunate, because I wanted to clear out more emails, links, etc.; at least I got the dishes done, some OC paperwork handled, and a corner of the table has been cleared off.  I even filled the paper box for the recycle bin, which took some work.  I am a bit tired, but will be more tired tomorrow...but the jello looked good (letting it set now), and that is what matters.

Experts Warn Mamdani’s High-Stakes Vote Could Trigger a NYC Housing Crisis
Another thing that can happen is that apartment owners will sell their units into co-ops -- people who buy -- and force the tenants on the street.  I wonder what would happen then... not good, I am sure, but markets find a way of working, no matter who is in charge...

The Mars Delusion

This was a fascinating read.  I guess I would say that while it is unlikely that we settle Mars, it isn't as if we shouldn't try.  I mean, there are other scientific discoveries we could make, and even if we only make it to the Moon, we are better off.  Hell, if we put ALL of the Democrats there (whether it was habitable or not), think of how much better Earth would be!  :)
