At least at one major auto maker, environmental and serious health concerns are outweighing its aesthetic appeal.

Are they going to stop making cars with huge front hoods which are hugely dangerous to pedestrians? Or stop marketing their cars as if they’re meant to be driven dangerously?

Logan

The whole premise was that they’re in danger and need to get to Canada to be safe (the bad guys don’t have passports I guess 🤷), but have to wait just before they cross the border for everyone to show up seemingly for no reason.

As a brit I don’t see this being enforced in the UK. The gov would be too scared that trump or an ally would come to power and we can’t risk effecting the special welationship 👉👈

The video app, owned by a Chinese company, said it would let federal officials pick its U.S. operation’s board of directors, would give the government veto power over each new hire and would pay an American company that contracts with the Defense Department to monitor its source code, according to a copy of the company’s proposal. It even offered to give federal officials a kill switch that would shut the app down in the United States if they felt it remained a threat.

IIRC they changed the way they calculate the scores a few years ago, which generally increased the numbers you saw.

mondoman712 ,

Yeah way before. I had a bit of a look through some announcements and couldn’t find it so I can’t say exactly when.

mondoman712 ,

If you’re replacing your phone surely it’s better that it doesn’t come with the charger (from an environmental point of view), since you don’t have to ship it back and they don’t have to ship you a new one. And what does it matter if they’re on different ships? It would still be pretty much the same amount of emissions released, which is probably less than the amount needed to drive it to your house. Adding the extra packaging for two separate items isn’t great though, and I agree that as a customer it isn’t great to get less for the same price.

A US-China EV trade war threatens Biden's clean-car agenda (www.reuters.com)

The Biden administration’s plan to slap heavy new tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and batteries would provide temporary protection for U.S. auto jobs, potentially at the expense of White House efforts to fight climate change by accelerating U.S. EV adoption....

Clean-car sounds a lot like clean coal

Moroccanoil is an israeli company. The connection to Morocco is that they co-opted a Moroccan product and sell it under their name. There’s no reason to believe that their sponsorship would influence a potential Moroccan entrant.

Beyond the fact that adding five more lanes would still leave you with a horribly inefficient transport system, you also ignore that externalities that you are exacerbating by doing so. You’re displacing thousands more people, worsening the division of communities, creating a lot of noise and air pollution, increasing car dependency etc

mondoman712 ,

Your last paragraph is tangential to what I said. It doesn’t disagree because it says something different. It’s also oversimplified in some ways and just wrong in others.

mondoman712 ,

They wanted to move and use thier car

Did they though? To some extent, yes. But most people just want to get places and will take whichever mode makes the most sense for that journey, and what a city invests in will make that mode make more sense for more journeys. There is also a portion of journeys that just won’t happen if they are too difficult.

Just to be pedantic, the dumb car tunnels (or Loop), are the weird thing elon “invented” to “solve” traffic and reduce competition for his cars for urban transport. This eventually became one tunnel in LA to get between elon’s house and office, and the dumb taxi tunnel in Las Vegas.

The hyperloop, where elon “invented” the vacuum train, is a separate thing that exists to distract from CAHSR, and elon didn’t want to work on himself because “he’s too busy”, and not because it’s effectively just a scam and won’t work, and most of the companies that started up to develop it have since gone bust.

It’s an increase of 16%, not to a total of 16%.

It’s deadly in Florida because people drive around the barriers at level crossings. That won’t be a problem here because there won’t be any level crossings.

You have to be insane to do either in New York.

Having a place in history doesn’t automatically mean they should be honoured. There’s plenty of people from history that we can all agree have made a huge impact and yet we wouldn’t want statues of them.

mondoman712 ,

Bad take. You couldn’t have pretty much any modern country without their previous problematic leader. You can learn just about them in history class and not honour them though statues.

The sentiment isn’t against her car use specifically, but more the infrastructure that makes one completely reliant on a car, and doesn’t give you the option to get the bus home after you’ve had a few drinks.

mondoman712 ,

I don’t disagree with any of your points. I just also believe that this happens less when there is less dependency on cars. The driver is still at fault, but just blaming her doesn’t prevent this from happening again in the future.

mondoman712 ,

Any time there’s an anti car stance to take, somebody will show up with some pedantic nit pick about times when they’re useful, and I don’t think it’s necessary to caveat the original point to try to get ahead of any of those people. It’s not the only thing to say about this incident but I think it is valid and gets the conversation started about how car dependency is involved here.

mondoman712 ,

The original comment wasn’t even just saying fuck cars, it was a link to a community that discusses the types of infrastructural issues that allow incidents like this to happen. You say that this story isn’t about the infrastructure, but unless we talk about that, nothing will change and these things will continue to happen.

Comparisons are helpful to find which matches my preferences, and it’s helpful to know which phone will process the images in a way that I can get images I like without doing the processing myself.

Texas, Ohio or Texas, North Carolina?

Well done texans 👏 the guys with rulers drew your box on the map the biggest

There’s a lot less stuff in the way in Texas

Why a canal? Why not just build a railway to the existing port?

mondoman712 , (edited )

Are they moving an amount beyond the capacity of a railway? And I would expect that the ocean vessels wouldn’t be the same as the ones in the canal.

Edit: From the article:

Shipping containers from those ocean-going vessels would be transferred by cranes at Kep to and from canal barges.

I don’t assume that, I’m just curious about it.

It’s basically import antigravity

So anyone in standstill traffic when an ambulance comes will go to jail? Or does this not apply if you’re in a car?

mondoman712 ,

Would you consider it negligent to drive somewhere you know is going to be busy, and therefore have potential to block an ambulance?

mondoman712 ,

What’s the difference between that and being at a protest that blocks a road?

I don’t think Switzerland meets the definition given by @space but there is the element of direct democracy, where any citizen can create a petition and if they get enough signatures it will go to a referendum, although ultimately it is up to the politicians to implement the results of the referenda.

Boyhood was shot over 12 years following the same cast.

Or maybe people can tell it’s a joke and don’t feel the need to address it?

I like Travle, which might also help with your geography (or just be difficult for you).

If we expand out to any daily game, I’m a huge fan of Timeguessr.

For anyone that might be interested in this: it’s only for certain ebikes. Standard ebikes that only pedal assist up to 25km/h don’t need anything special over a regular bike, which afaik is the standard limit in Europe. You can get ebikes that go up to 45km/h and they are regulated more like mopeds, requiring a number plate, rear view mirror, and that the rider wears a helmet.

mondoman712 ,

Switzerland had this up until 2012, when it was abolished because it cost more to administer than it was worth.
