Many poor people already can't afford to drive. In my city, over a third of households are carless and for most of them i can guarantee it's not by choice. Public transit is weak outside the core, the urban poor are by default loc

I agree on the dosages sold being too high. I'm a terrible sleeper that wakes up all through the night. I've found taking a fraction, between an eighth and quarter, of the 3mg pills is enough for me to sleep and wake up refreshed.

The same Scott Adams who sockpuppets on message boards and reddit, to agree with himself and call himself a genius? Yeah I'd take the shadowban claims with a grain of salt. http://comicsalliance.com/scott-adams-plannedc

It's more than a social media blackout, it's getting spun to exclude they're holding up EPA operations and grants, and restricting the publishing of Department of Ag research. https://news.ycombinator.com/item

Except it's not just social media. It keeps getting repeated as "social media ban" but there is more to it. It's also freezing the distribution of grants and any new business of EPA for a week, if not longer. https:&#x

Think you are missing a link, but I will assume you're referring to the NPS tweet about crowd size. Was it the most appropriate thing to do on an agency twitter account? Maybe not. But that tweet has nothing to do with the EPA or Depar

That was added since I first read the article. We'll see if it's actually lifted by then, as we've already seen a lot of misdirection and outright lies from the Trump team. Also from the article: "The Trump administratio

I have a laundry list of issues with the current administration but this is seriously alarming. This is an administration that seems intent on openly lying to the public on even the tiniest of issues like inauguration crowd size, and large

I noticed this around version 49. Through process of elimination I found out it was caused by two plugins I had: Privacy Badger and Adblock Plus. Switched to uBlock origin and removed the other two, performance is normal again.

I find that most US bike shops fall into two categories - either a general bike shop with a lot of models, or the racing/road oriented that focus on carbon fiber, racing etc. If you want a general around town bike, I usually recommend

As an American who almost exclusively bikes for transportation, I think it comes down to a difference in cycling conditions. Most people I know grew up riding ~$100 Walmart bikes, just as described - steel, heavy, poorly assembled and usua

To me, there is nothing inherently wrong about people advocating for issues and causes that affect men specifically. However what I see online is a large, vocal portion of those who claim to be MRAs are more about aggressive and toxic miso

The most insane part of this to me, is the inability to upgrade or repair any of the desktop Macs by making them locked down, soldered machines. These are machines meant to sit on a desk. Who cares about shaving off few centimeters of desk

From street view that doesn't seem that difficult to negotiate - is it just distracted/low skill drivers? Speeds too high? On a side note - zooming out from that, the sprawl of Atlanta looks unlivable. On several nearby highways I

Why not better connect NYC with Upstate, Central and Western New York, and shed some of the development pressure there? If there were a true high speed rail connection to smaller, much lower cost metros it might make them more attractive as
