I'm an American who has traveled a fair bit outside the US. I'd never heard of sardines on toast until a British person made a thread about it on the cooking board on 4chan, maybe a year or so ago. I guess it's not too common

Clearly you haven't watched the documentary. Half the interviewees are former North Vietnamese or Viet Cong combatants, including serving Vietnamese military personnel. The point is repeatedly made that it was primarily a Vietnamese ci

There is a difference between legalizing recreational heroin, as the parent comment and activists like Dr. Carl Hart suggest, and providing maintenance doses in a medical setting under supervised and monitored conditions. Switzerland does t

You probably already know this, but careful with canned tuna. Eating it daily for too long (weeks to months, judging from various anecdotes) leads to mercury poisoning. Same with non-canned tuna.

This is not how decriminalization of hard drugs has succeeded in any other country. Heroin abuse is illegal in Portugal, as is the unauthorized posession of fentanyl, MDMA, cocaine, crack, etc. They won't put you in prison, but they&#x

Yes, looks like the 80% number is from 2021. Here are more recent figures: >The homicide rate in the City of Portland is up 207% according to a new report released this morning by Mayor Wheeler's office. https://twitter.c

IIRC homicides were up 30% nationwide, but 80% in Portland, OR. That seems like it still stands out from the trend. Dunno about other stats, but property crime tends to correlate with open-air drug use.

Local governments want Portugal’s drug decriminalization results without resorting to Portugal’s methods. It can’t work. Former long-shot gubernatorial candidate Michael Shellenberger has written about this extensively. >Many progressive

Is this the video you meant? https://youtu.be/MBBC-xL_MTg If my math is correct, the Duke prototype (2015) predates it by a few years. Agreed with your point though, this genie’s out of the bottle.

The Israeli-American firm Duke Robotics has built drones with guns for the better part of a decade. I believe they’ve already been deployed in Israel: https://www.discovermagazine.com/technology/israeli-military...

Broken windows policing isn't necessarily the same as stop-and-frisk, although they are sometimes related: https://www.npr.org/2016/11/01/500104506/broken-windows-poli...

I love the DC Metro for all the reasons you list. That's what made its recent missteps all the more frustrating. The Yellow Line which serves Reagan National Airport will shut down for maintenance soon for eight (8!) months, even after

My public transit experience is mostly DC and New York. The few times I've ridden BART, cleanliness was nonexistent (fabric seats were not the best design choice!) and safety was at best questionable. Some examples from the news: http

Planting trees is not a serious solution to gun violence or mass transit safety. The correlation between increased, properly-utilized police presence and a decrease in crime is one of the most well-researched, replicable, and best-underst

Lack of investment in metro cops, maybe. By every other metric, American mass transit costs more and underperforms compared to European and Asian systems: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-26/the

If your goal is to put up an apartment building, it's cheaper to rip up asphalt than to demolish a multi-level concrete and steel parking structure.

Yes, I agree that the problem is fundamental to both modes of transit. If street cars were more common, the same stigma would apply for the same reasons.

The cable cars do not function as public transit. The long lines of tourists at the stations are notorious. Visible on Google Street View: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.8069998,-122.4212914,3a,75y,...

Have you ridden the bus in a major US city lately? Safety and hygiene are serious issues, depending on the city and sometimes the specific line. Despite owning a car, I used to ride buses whenever remotely feasible as a point of civic pride

Some long-term microgravity health risks are also short-term mission risks, like ocular problems and increased blood clotting. If a centrifugal habitat helps prevent these, so much the better.
