“The Sequences”? Yes, this doesn’t sound like a quasi-religious cult at all…

One of the world’s most advanced economies has a huge highway network where a substantial fraction of has no upper speed limit. Fuck off with this nanny state bullshit.

How is that achieved by capture on the iPhone 15 with the two lenses just 2 cm apart?

I'm, like, the world's biggest car enthusiast and I love EVs. For a daily driver, if you have a garage or a place to plug in daily, EVs are just a better experience than gas cars. They're smooth, quiet, and powerful and you n

Do you have any complaints about your sleeping other than being unhappy about this metric some app is reporting?

What's the actual use case for these graphing calculators? Forget about the fact that smartphones make them obsolete and they're pretty much only used today in standardized test scenarios where you can't have a smartphone - w

The FCC has been working on this since at least 2016, in response to a petition from the ARRL in 2013. https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-16-96A1_Rcd.pdf I would love to live in a world where the FCC coul

Why not a ban on personal travel outright? No one needs to take a vacation, and you don’t strictly need to see your family either. Maybe we could have some kind of a permitting system where you could apply for permission to travel to see, f

Most of the human population could be described as a "pointless CO2 emitter".

I like to consider CEO salaries by the amount they’re getting paid, per employee in the company. There was a bunch of complaining recently about GM CEO Mary Barra, whose annual compensation is around $30M. GM has around 167,000 employees, s

If you can still operate the business for another 8 weeks, there's a chance that things will still work out, and it's pretty pessimistic to preemptively shut it down because you assume you're going to fail. Pessimists don&#x2

Nice. What voters actually want are executives that pay lip service to climate goals and all this mumbo-jumbo bullshit about public transport, but in reality, no one wants to ride the fucking bus. We want roads, more roads, bigger roads, be

I think I'd kill myself if I had to live like that.

There are tons of traffic laws that make things technically illegal even if they're perfectly safe ("no U-turn"), for the purpose of keeping traffic flow orderly and efficient. Not sure why this should be any different or why

I recall some fatigue and maybe light muscle soreness or something like that, but pretty mild symptoms overall. I’d say I get a bad cold once or twice a year and rarely experience anything more severe than that.

I have had very mild tinnitus my entire life - since as early as I can remember in childhood. It's never been particularly bothersome but in a quiet room I can clearly hear it. However, when I received the second dose of the Pfizer mRN

I don't use an adblocker. I agree that sites with obnoxious irrelevant ads are quite frustrating. I simply don't visit those sites, they're usually garbage in the first place. What's an example of a site where: 1. There

Give me a break. You don't want advertising, you don't want to subscribe, and you don't want a network of sites using the same subscription. What possible solution exists that satisfies your criteria, which are way more deman

Given that the US' nuclear weapons could ultimately have taken out Hitler in short order - and possibly ended the war in Japan at the same time by way of demonstration - I'm not sure what the point is of quibbling about this. All

And without use from heavy trucks and huge volumes from city traffic, the roads in suburbs last for decades, what's your point?

by avalys 3y ago
You're basically saying that you want to force everyone to live in a city - a super dense developed area where all your daily needs are within walking distance. Not everyone wants to live in a city!

All you need to do is require people to report their odometer reading when they renew their vehicle registration, and have huge penalties for willful mis-reporting. Traffic stops and service records at tire shops, oil change places, etc. pr

This is an interesting theory, but I'm not sure you can prove it. What's a way in which the USA "subsidizes" suburbs?

No kidding. It seems such an obvious example of industry taking a kernel of truth and blowing it out of proportion to promote a market for themselves. Yes, sunscreen is beneficial in certain situations, but I know some people who slather al

So? No matter what actions you take, _something_ is going to be the leading killer of kids. By itself that statement means nothing.
