Big news. Judge rules: Lake Oswego is now open to the public. Bad news for lake front homeowners. People don't respect property anymore. I predict assholes from Portland will want to see what they can do, just 'cause they can. I wonder if people will still want to pay those easement fees to maintain the lake as it is, now that anyone can enjoy it.
Update (14 November 2024): The judge says that "the city could come up with reasonable restrictions such as permits,
fees and boat cleaning requirements as well as time, place and manner
rules." So with fees, they can get the public to pay for lake maintenance and upkeep, too. That's more fair.
Working muscles help grow neurons. Exercising muscles produce myokines, which stimulate nerve growth. Supposedly exercise also stimulates secretion of brain-derived neurotropic factor, so that helps, too.

What Trump is teaching us all about civics. I always wondered why, with separation of powers, the Executive Branch needed approval of the Senate to get the people he needs to help him. Turns out it never was a requirement. It just became an assumption over time. The president doesn't really need Senate confirmation for his cabinet member picks, actually. It's not in the Constitution.

I agree, nerds shouldn't rule the world. Nerds think differently, and although they can calculate and solve defined problems quickly, they don't necessarily become good leaders. Elon Musk is different though – nerd doesn't completely describe him. He's a proven leader at his companies, but over other matters, we haven't seen his talents in practice, just yet.
