We are expecting 3-9 inches of sea level rise over the next century. Boise is at 2730 feet. The mountains where they are buying this land is even higher. What they are hedging is population growth and the continued migration west. Also

That guy was using the road for access to public land. It doesn't necessarily matter who owns the land under a road because the use of the road is supposed to offer access rights. The problem is the guy doesn't have enough money

That is the problem. Land owners don't pay property tax on land that they have placed a conservation easement on. https://www.landtrustalliance.org/topics/taxes/income-tax-in...

I guess that's why there are no advertisements directed towards children on networks like Nickelodeon.

This is yet another hit piece by wallstreet short sellers. Autonomous vehicles may kill people occasionally, but far less frequently than human driven vehicles.

The problem with filling the interior of the cathedral with light is that you won't get the same effect from the stained glass windows and the candles. The great thing about this design is that it leaves the traditional experience of

Ask your coworkers if it bothers them. The fact that they have not complained to you does not mean that it doesn't. They are more than likely being non-confrontational. People who get called out on their mechanical keyboards often g

It also matters what sort of keyboards everyone is using. Horribly noisy mechanical keyboards make it impossible to concentrate.

It's a great precedent to set. First solar then high density zoning.

MAX doesn't have the Caltrain problem because it is not at grade outside of downtown. You are comparing Portland to European cities which is not a fair comparison. Compared to any city in California, Portland is miles ahead.

by nsnick 8y ago
MAX is not that handicapped by being at grade because it has dedicated roads/lanes everywhere it goes. Portland will eventually ban cars downtown anyway (they are close). Zoning laws are changing and have changed to allow infill. Plu

Fast food chains are actually building automation. A lot of McDonalds have self ordering kiosks. Startups are working on automated cooking. Pretty soon fast food locations will have no workers.

I think it is easier to sell vehicles stolen in Europe. All a thief needs to do is drive the vehicle to Eastern Europe and there will be a buyer. Selling a stolen vehicle in the US is a lot more difficult.
