I agree, sadly. I don't even think we're dealing with "climate denial" anymore; each disaster just pushes us further into climate cynicism, where the most often heard refrain is that there's no point in trying to stop the change from coming so we must instead protect ourselves from climate refugees

Should have searched Github before posting: github.com/opentraffic/.... And in fact I remember talking with @triangulator.org about this around the time. But the last commit was like, eight years ago... Mapzen was involved; anyone know if their routing engine uses this in some form under the hood?

Spending $5K on a 50-pack of $100 tiny pencil sharpeners, the kind that easily get lost, is quite a commitment to throwing away your money. The gold El Casco pencil sharpener is at least built to last and be admired; you could sell it if you needed to or gift it to your nephew in your will.

To be fair, although the ad makes it looks like they're trying to sell you ordinary plastic pencil sharpeners for over a grand each, it's actually only over $100 each, because you have to buy them in packs of 50. But that makes it worse, somehow, doesn't it?

Good times for private companies like ESRI who mirror federal data on their own sites, I guess.

Most Census tables are still unavailable through the usual links, also. How it furthers the administration's priorities to make it impossible for me to download a shapefile of county subdivisions in North Carolina is beyond me.
