I don't think they were thinking of Jesus as the founder of the Catholic Church. Although I think that is what the Vatican itself would say (?)

Seems like survivorship bias. A lot of projects fizzle out. Vietnam War comes to mind.

My mileage does indeed vary. I always feel either oxygen-deprived or high on hyperventilation after. Telling myself to breathe slower is fine. Just not at some predefined interval (or worse, whatever interval the yoga instructor feels lik

It IS in the interest of the city. This does not translate into policymaking because of the intersection of these realities: 1) The 'special interest' effect — where narrow groups of highly-motivated individuals become more politi

That would probably be great from an environmental standpoint. Notice I didn't say that we should only look from the environmnental standpoint.

I'm not convinced remote work is better than the market solution from an environmental point of view. Seems like having people as densely concentrated as they can be is best from an environmental standpoint. Remote is definitely better

I'll have to remember that one.

Yeah, it's a great question to select for good bullshitters.

I hate timed controlled breathing exercises like that. The circle doesn't know the current oxygen needs of my body.

Also, gardeners can use this information to guide how they go about it. I used to want to grow my own food, thinking I would be helping the environment. But I realized I probably couldn’t compete on efficiency with real farmers. So instead,

Some people choose to grow food as a hobby partly because they believe it will help with climate change. Studies like this help them make a better-informed decision.

'Eastern Agricultural Complex' is a good search term for those interested.

Okay, what is the safety reason my barber can’t operate out of a room in his house?

Yeah, the worst it’s when you see the message change and have to wait for it to change back. Takes a lot of brain cycles away from driving.

I agree, and there is great value in standardizing traffic control devices across state lines.

The person you’re responding to is talking specifically about the 'funny' signs, not the "signs that usually are used for showing construction or travel times or burn bans or other weird things the government wants to convey.

> cars are better in every way now than they were before (From a driving, efficiency, reliability and safety perspective). What about safety of people outside the cars? By this metric I believe they are getting worse.

Hm. It's strange when someone else's objective experience is so different from one's own. The house I'm renting has some cheapo dishwasher, and it does a great job. Only uses as much water as a toilet flush, too.

I imagine that moderating content online can take a real toll on one's mental health. Sort of like police who have to look through evidence of child porn day after day.

The solution to the housing affordability crisis is clear: allow the free market to build abundant housing where people want to live. Solutions like the one described in the article are great, but nowhere near as effective as simply allowin

So it's legally "pasteurized process American cheese". That is still legally cheese.

by lukas099 3y ago
To me, the label "pasteurized process American cheese" still says that it's cheese. Just the "pasteurized process American" kind. So it's still legally cheese.

A couple problems. 1) We not only can , but we do build high-quality multifamily housing. Not enough, but then again we're not building enough of any kind of housing 2) Sure, some people don't like dense housing, but it'

Is Detroit currently an artist city? It makes sense because of what you said, but I just haven't heard that before.
