Wait, you’re literally on your phone while your kids entertain you…?

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted—this is a fascinating read!

Yep, Democratic Party refused to do a real primary so he switched sides

if you lived in the Earth’s core (~6000k) the surface (~300k) would be a rounding error above absolute zero anyway

Just some rough physics.. Q = m c ΔT m = mass of the crust (roughly 10^22 kg) C = specific heat of crust (roughly 1000 J/kg·K) ΔT = 1 K Q = 10^25 joules would be needed to lower the earths crust by 1 degree K About 10,000 years worth o

Venmo is essentially a stable coin

Not that shortly, the patient lived about two months.

In my opinion, the best thing to do would be for Quebec to start being a data center world hub. They have enough energy to power all the world’s data centers, and they would essentially be exporting their energy by way of offseting demand e

by thehappypm 1y ago
ah, Quebec. So much energy but nobody can buy it! Ontario can’t.. New England wants it but keeps hitting NIMBYism.. NY wants it but needs new infrastructure
74.
by thehappypm 1y ago
Yeah, new england for example has high energy costs because of 1) a lack of local energy sources and 2) reluctance to build new gas pipelines.

This is some cool hacker stuff, but I imagine it’s against the terms of service

This is honestly why I love flying on spirit. No one has a carry-on bag so you just quickly board and de board at the end.

Why cherrypick May?

This could not be more wrong. Lena Khan is on an absolute antitrust bender.

I absolutely love the White Mountains and it’s what I miss most about living in New England. In my opinion the best day hike in the country is the Franconia Ridge trail

Is HSR the only infrastructure that matters?

by thehappypm 1y ago
Example?

by thehappypm 1y ago
I don’t think this is even remotely true.

Yep, this is also why gyms don’t charge you $5 per visit. Nobody would come. Even if it’s cheaper for the average person

by thehappypm 1y ago
it isn’t really all that difficult, but it is difficult to build in the places that the jobs are. There are tons economically depressed towns that would absolutely love to have an infusion of property tax revenue

The problem is “where”. Building them in random lots in Florida or upstate New York is exactly what builders were doing in the runup to the financial crisis. Building them in already-dense places is always tricky because of NIMBYism

The US voted against the subsidies, not against the technology itself.

Sidebar but HIV has led to some really amazing antiviral research. I really hope that this research will be helpful during the next pandemic. That’s a silver lining for a truly horrible disease.

in my opinion, the solution needs to be technological, not austerity. In a democracy, any party that introduces quality of life reductions in favor of the global climate will always get voted out

Not to diverge too much but Florida has some interesting topography South Florida is basically all coral and sand at a few dozen feet above sea level except for the small ridge on the east coast (peaking at a whopping 86 feet) which provi
