What a good thing to do for one's community.

Anyone can get to know their own locality on this intimate level. I've been spending more time in my yard, and it's really incredible seeing the waves of new plants and animals arising and dissipating over the months. Yesterday I

I think the idea was that the native bees lose share of the resources to honeybees that are artificially supported. Which is not something I had thought about before.

The immune system is pretty important and powerful.

And if you're really negotiating you can likely get back at least what you paid for it by selling it again on craigslist.

Sort of, but it also feels disgusting to be treated like a crook when you're making an innocent return, so there are tradeoffs.

You pay higher prices than you would otherwise, not higher prices overall necessarily.

It was surprising to me too when I encountered it, but yes, at least at my college, in the rare instance that you needed an "Official Transcript", you filled out a form on a portal that included the address for it to be sent to. I

It's insane to me that the Democrats got this bill passed, along with the infrastructure law, CHIPS and others. Were any significant laws passed during the previous presidential administration besides Tax Cut and Jobs Act? I feel like

If you can consider it a minigame, when you are skydiving down into the depths and the music and atmosphere changes in TOTK... that's a loading screen.

Yeah but if one of the biggest political obstacles is "what about the jobs" then it makes sense to talk about the renewables jobs.

You should not lend a car to somebody that you cannot trust to act responsibly with it.

True, it's not an of course to everyone, and it's a good thing to point out. In fact I think everyone should do at least some research on anything they are going to plant, if only to give it the best conditions to thrive.

I am not sure what you're getting at.

I doubt that they go to the specific victims because that would require a ton of bureaucracy. But giving back to society at large is better than nothing.

I agree that we shouldn't build stroads, but all of California is not going to remove their stroads overnight. In the meantime, enforcing the speed limit would be nice.

> more people may feel comfortable going 8-10 mph over the limit. Is that more or less than the current status quo? I'm not in California but it sounds like everyone feels comfortable doing that anyways. Also you can still enforce 1

> If you just send the ticket to whomever is the easiest to target (regardless of guilt), then it’s more about revenue than safety. If you lend your car to someone, you are taking responsibility for the way they drive that car. If you ca

Enforcement is part of good government and good civil engineering.

It will lead to a reduction of speeding. And the people who do speed will at least pay for some of their negative externalities.

I like traffic calming too, but sometimes people really do go faster than is safe, even on narrow, windy roads with obstacles. Also if they are used on the highway then traffic calming isn't that applicable. I don't think you have

They have about the same share of the responsibility as they do of the consequences. (actually greater share of the responsibility and lesser of the consequences, but still)

Just as we trust parents to look after the needs of their children in every other way, we also trust them to defend their rights and privileges of citizenship. That includes suing if somebody infringes those rights and privileges.

I'm guessing you agreed that the CC company could sell your debt when you signed up for the card.

Of course an article about native plants in one region is not something to follow blindly in a different region.

The world will eventually recover from an extinction event probably, but it will be terrible for us humans.

> It'd be interesting to see a bioreactor for more general waste, like wood and plant matter. Is that what a compost bin is?

Couldn't you get carbon credits or whatever for this?
