ideas can be re-explored and revisited in new contexts of time. you've never reread a book from your childhood and seen it in a whole new way? why not the same with the flux of society?

if you're in the PNW like me, you will find 80% espresso stands the size of a shed, and 20% actual cafes. it's pretty frustrating. if anybody is in Redmond, WA and love good, modern espresso, i highly recommend Five Stones. they h

also, consider somebody who is an expert already in the problem domain. most of us here are programmers and do this on a daily basis. somebody describes "A GraphQL API driven by a clojure back end connected to a postgres database"

sorry, i also use clojure for hobby projects and am familiar with clojure/repl/etc. i guess i assumed that since this thread was about web frameworks that their large clojure code base was also a web application. though i see that

man, if you think workers holding 35-50% of the company, wait until you learn about spanish worker co-ops! one employee = one share = one vote. no absentee owners.

all of which is illegal, but proving it is damn hard and expensive.

if it was good enough to get the idea across in order to be corrected, it succeeded. grammar is fake. language is made up, didn't you know? pithy response aside, i work with a lot of ESL international folks, caring about grammar comes

from what i've seen it's really hard to even reintroduce plants back into the ecosystem they were originally stolen from. typically they are extremely fragile and the shock kills them. for example, southwestern succulents: https:

I don't get what you are saying. an individual's emotional response gets them to act. rational people tell them where to channel their energy. we need both. but you put up goal posts marking objective things people can do better o

yes... it's politics... call it "culture war" if you want to diminish the other and yes. fuck the person who bought that truck (the very specific topic of the OP and this whole thread), and skirted the taxes, the very objecti

> What you’re supporting is the definition of NIMBYism. It’s a tax on other people doing things you don’t like and it’s not happening to you so it’s okay. how do you know I wouldn't support it? I would never buy that truck ever so o

moving the goalposts is so pathetic. not that GPs inane point that you ostensibly clarified wasn't obvious.. my point is I am doing my best with what I believe. those truck buyers could start literally anywhere, but I doubt they are.

by LesZedCB 5y ago
the point is minimizing. the vehicle is a giant middle finger to minimization. pure excess. I think it's not not about a line but a posture, and that truck is one that's obvious: fuck responsibility.

also i think answering the engineering question of > what more can we do with less is extremely exciting. but has been left unprioritized because it isn't sexy.

i hear you. and i'm sympathetic. it is a real loss. but that mentality is also why we're fucked. we are losing our way of life anyway, why not choose the easy things to give up now? NIMBYism is a real part of failed climate policy

i'm opposed to ostentatious demonstrations of wealth that serve no practical purpose and actively harm environmental goals.

i don't believe in ethically owning those cars either.... and this ostentatious excess a side effect of the processes that got us into critical climate change in the first place: a proliferation of needless consumption driven by manufa

it might be said a little aggressively, but the point remains. there is ZERO reason to be buying (or producing) vehicles like this. climate change is seriously happening for real, and this is like flicking off everybody who gives a shit for

true, and Boston (GPs username) is certainly one of those places where historical districts and small multi-family housing units prevent affordable high-density housing.

housing regulation is a dog whistle for tenants actually having rights.

most people aren't trained tasters. you can do a lot of training to remove the subject aspect of taste preference where you taste a lot of individual compounds in isolation so you learn to pick them out. this is very important for wine
