No comparison to the East side of the state

Oh, why can’t things be forever exactly like they were in 2005 when I started grad school?

Who physically goes to banks anymore (by car or foot)?

Get thee to a cloister, Elon.

This is the book to read to get into the weeds on this. Short answer: no. Mass proselytizing (if “regular” means that) only happens historically with power and mass conquest. www.ucpress.edu/books/the-be...

The Beginnings of Jewishness by Shaye Cohen - PaperScholarship is a powerful tool for changing how people think, plan, and govern. By giving voice to bright minds and bold ideas, we seek to foster understanding and drive progressive change.www.ucpress.edu

Can’t cross that bridge when you come to it if there is no bridge

I know! :( But the museums will remain.

What is the psychology of treating flashing lights as a more important signal to stop than the sight of a human in front of you?
