Heatwave is no joke...
  • Cities asking residents to use less power is largely due to the fact that most cities have no direct policy power to regulate electricity use. Electricity use is primarily the domain of state/provider policy. Cities asking residents to lower power usage is thereby an ask for residents to collectively work to avoid brown/black out situations for the collective good. Messaging like this without a similar ask to the tech/industrial community would still be short sighted at best.

  • military industrial publishing complex
  • It's not the publishers paying the researcher's salaries, they're mostly paid by public institutions and receive funding from government grants. If anything, bl researcher pay structure should result in open access publication.

  • Why stand in line to board an airplane?
  • I used to wait until the last minute to board, until the time I had to put my carry on bag at the back of the plane and my personal item under the seat and ended up being the last person off. One of the more uncomfortable flights I've been on.

  • /r/theoryofreddit post asking why reddit seems dead
  • I was initially drawn to Reddit as a place that offered nuanced conversation. I even used to engage with toxic takes if nothing less than to discredit their take. It's a complete dumpster fire of toxic ass hats now - not worth commenting within as it's becoming more and more of a conservative echo chamber.

  • Ocean system that moves heat gets closer to collapse, which could cause weather chaos, study says
  • This isn't a new concern, just more specificity about how the shut down of global deep water convection currents is occurring. We're fucked, but it's not a "new" fucked - just another piece of the existing fucked humanity has largely decided isn't as important as the match of capitalist profits.

  • Superb survival city-builder Against the Storm is finally finished and released
  • Beside each race portrait there is an expanded menu that shows what makes them happy. Referencing this menu is essential to ensure your workers don't die or leave. I pretty much always get a lumber mill or carpenter asap to help speed up plank production too. Cloth and brick production are pretty essential too, but with planks alone you can at least get everyone housed in the large shelters.

  • Be honest: if you had the power to stop time, your morals would go out the window.
  • Or robin hooding it to weath transfer from the ultra rich as a form of wealth redistribution. I'd definitely pass my own pocket a little thicker, to your point, but the main thrust of power focusing on personal benefit would be very narrow and short lived in scope.

  • xkcd #2832: Urban Planning Opinion Progression
  • How much "space" does one person, or even a family need? When you were in those cities, where did you stay? There is a big difference between visiting a downtown core and living in a near-to-downtown neighborhood. Still not everyone's cup of tea, sure, but if we all lived in an acre property we would collectively go bankrupt from infrastructure costs alone.

  • Clarence Thomas Secretly Participated in Koch Network Donor Events
  • *Never will the USA government as it is currently established under the existing constitution and electoral process will these changes be made. It is very possible that the union could fail at any moment and history seems to indicate it's probably not that far from a collapse as a nation.
