Can't speak for the OP, but I can feel it. It can be disconcerting when trying to fall asleep.


That's how it started for me too. Noticing it when trying to fall asleep. It slowly got worse until I had an ablation procedure done.


"Malls are dying" has been a meme for well over 20 years now. I guess it is "The Suit is Back" season.

Back in the year 2000, someone created the Deadmalls.com website that was notable enough to get a Wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadmalls.com

And it turns out there was a book published in 2002:

"Greyfields into Goldfields: Dead Malls become Living Neighborhoods"

https://www.amazon.com/Greyfields-into-Goldfields-become-Nei...

...just a few random older articles from DDG:

From 2000: "Retail Darwinism Puts Old Malls in Jeopardy"

"The fully enclosed shopping mall, that island of boxy chain stores and lost apostrophes in a sea of asphalt, was not born in California. But this seems to be the place where people are digging its grave, at least in its present form."

From 2001: "Dying shopping malls reborn as old-fashioned downtowns"

https://www.berkeleydailyplanet.com/issue/2001-12-12/article...

From 2003: "Malls: Death of an American icon"

https://web.archive.org/web/20030707142032/https://money.cnn...

Cory Doctorow was talking about dead malls in 2003:

From 1998: "Enclosed malls losing luster as well as tenants"

"Mintz thinks the vacancies signal a deeper problem -- that malls are outdated and out of touch with the needs of today's shoppers."

https://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/stories/1998/02/09/st...

From 2018: "America’s malls are dying. Owners are hoping virtual reality and fitness centers will save them"

https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-malls-revival-2018091...

Of course there are a plethora of recent articles as well:

I don't have any information that's not available on the website, but it looks like the Lightyear 2 is more of a conventional a four door sedan, while the Aptera is a two passenger enclosed three-wheeled motorcycle.


Is it that time of year already? "Dying malls" is like the "The suit is back" type of meme. Malls have been dying for most of my adult life (and I'm old enough to have used an 8088 processor on our home computer as a kid).

Another interesting look at "turn the other cheek":

Thanks, that was really interesting read :)



"When the parties agreed, they could lay their dispute before the moot, whose members, much like present-day mediators, attempted to facilitate an accommodation that the disputing parties found acceptable. When reached, such accommodations resolved the dispute in a way that preserved the peace of the community."

This is like a buy-one-get-one-free comment, not only is the above about evolved dispute resolution systems, it mention the moot.


>"Sorry, grandma, I know you've been sort of attached to your name for the last 80 years, but the white folks find it inconvenient for their computer systems. Don't worry, they promise they'll make something close for you."

Is there a resource to read more about this? I don't get that vibe from things like:

https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode3.0.0/appA.pdf


"This is the first of a set of papers that look at actual Einstein-Podolksy-Rosen (EPR) experiments from the point of view of a scientifically and statistically literate person who is not a specialist in quantum theory."

https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9611037

...I wonder if anyone has ever followed up on Caroline Thompson's work after she passed away.
