Does the article ever say what the setting we should change are, or is just saying that Yale has a leadership platform that it exercised for musicians during the pandemic?

I'm rehearing with a group of highly amateur musicians, and getting some easily configurable improvement on this would be something we would definitely do, but I missed what the changed settings should be. Thx

That's really not that much. Won't pay for a 1 bedroom apartment in San Francisco, especially after gas and groceries.

True even while gas is almost zero because not driving.

I have Chromebooks.

I'm now concerned and confused. The implications are not adequately explained.

Seems like an important topic to discuss. Serious question, how do should I understand the concluding sentence/word,

"But walk through parts of San Francisco today, and you get a different sense altogether: not an uncanny effectiveness, but a panicked swirl of homeless capital."

What is meant by "homeless capital"? does it mean SF is the capital city for homeless like Washington DC, or does capital go to opposite of venture capital, like in banking/finance/Wall St?

I'm not a gamer, but it * could * turn out to be a successful on-ramp for a large number of casual non-committed gamers.

". I felt like I was hearing from Pelé that the key to becoming a great soccer player is wearing shoes."

It was just a movie, but in a movie about Pele, one of the memorable scenes was he was playing with the neighborhood poor kids, against the rich kids in a tournament. His team didn't have shoes or uniforms. And they didn't want to be made fun of . They rather crookedly got shoes, but weren't use to them, and they didn't fit.

By half time, they were losing badly. Pele took off his shoes, scored amazing goals and the team came back to within one goal.

Kinda random, but what should I believe about shoes being obvious.

GAC currently has a nice display booth at the NADA show, National Automobile Dealers at Moscone Center in San Francisco, showing about 6 cars. Which is probably some sort of a confirmation of what the article says about them coming to US dealers soon.
