The limit may be because taller buildings are energy-efficient-per-capita in other ways, so it encourages building tall slightly, and it doesn't actually matter because the fraction of San Francisco where zoning allows buildings over 10 stories is fucking miniscule.
It also doesn't matter because nobody builds new buildings in SF because NIMBYs and rent-seekers.
Alberta is basically our Texas, but colder. Not really hard to imagine why the apocalypse would start there. Fort McMurray is basically the oil and gas capital of Canada. The entire town was evacuated, approximately 90k people. The fire is 85 000 hectares, or 23 square miles bigger than NYC.
Also, despite it being in poor taste, I had to chuckle when one of our watered down beer companies tweeted this:
There's an ongoing coup attempt in Turkey. Rym, it may be advisable to cancel business trips in the next week or two.
Turkey's ruling party has been increasingly going off the rails lately. Hopefully this is successful and restores the democratic system that has existed until recently. Regardless of how this turns out, Erdogan, Turkey's authoritarian, cockweasel president, needs to go (and it wasn't like he was going to leave any other way).

I was well aware. I had canceled all of my travel to Turkey after the previous round of terror attacks in Istanbul, since every attack had targeted a place I frequent.
USA, UK, EU, etc... I used to think that political conflicts had been reduced to democracy vs populism (inequality being the common factor). It seems to me now that the conflict is literally educated vs anti-education.
It's not news that Maine Governor Paul LePaige is absolutely insane, but now he's entered my area of expertise by saying he wishes he could duel his political enemy -- by which I mean he is a poltroon too afraid to do what he believes must be done. A real man of honor holding the gubernatorial position would not be halted by law. If LePaige was serious about his desires to duel Gattine, he ought to be like the first Governor of Tennessee, John Sevier, who dueled Jackson upon being challenged, despite dueling being outlawed two years earlier. LePaige is just once more demonstrating that politicians today are all talk and no game.
