Yes, it’s not uncommon in the civilised dumbfuck-socialist world to have free or subsidised means tested bus pass, bus lanes. Bus services that are faster and more frequent due to less congestion due to higher demands. Sometimes well established buss routes can even evolve into even more efficient technology.
A lot of that can be supported by by congestion charge revenue, or even higher tax from more land use that isn’t car parks, and denser housing.
Yes, even get the developers to pay a contribution as part of the permit.
I get the impression - or what seems most likely given their ridiculous situation of driving at average of walking pace - that they’ll be asking instead for one more lane, and it won’t be dedicated for bus or bike or tram.
At the stage they seem to have reached I think it seems quite fair to ridicule the whole city and everyone who has had the power to vote there for the past generation which presumably includes the ooop.
I use any cheapo double walled rim, and cheap spokes. i normally use like 36hole hubs, so pretty resilient, with that many I don’t think it really matters. I guess it might if you had a lot fewer spokes.
Also i use 35mm tyres which spreads the load too, i personally value comfort, resilience, bump handling, and low maintenance over speed.
As for Tyres , i do spend money on those. Schwalbe marathon plus on pretty much every wheel as soon as it wears thin. I’ve never had a puncture on those. They’re probably considered slow and heavy, by people who aren’t me.
Context is I use mine for urban transportation on mostly bike paths, some park routes. old tram tracks that can be shonky and bumpy, and a bit of road occasionally, but plenty of rough damaged tarmac as well as the smooth stuff. I’m pretty slow.
I think the terrain really matters when choosing tyres - and i’d err on the side of fatter up to 32/35mm just to accommodate uncertainty.
This made me rewatch con man s01e08. “Your voice has this unique quality that we think is going to be more effective with the Marion storyline.”
If you shear (scissors) then there should be less loss, maybe some distortion though. If you saw, you lose the sawdust. if you slice (knife), it might be either way or a bit of both.
Most likely you lose something, whether it’s a loss that matters, that depends.
Cheap , fairly-easy, portable, storable source of energy, and the current supply chains are very high capacity. Lots of well understood methods and machines to use it. An oil tanker on sea or land moves a hell of a lot of energy to wherever people want it.
Population keeps growing. No way are all of those people going to leave that stuff in the ground, if “we” don’t take the cheap stuff, “they” will. So it becomes like a race to find and extract it all.
Even if you don’t want it personally, someone in your economy or military will be better off for it. Some people will go looking for it - and someone’ll get rich if they find it.
yeah there was ‘notepadqq’, but its not the same as ++.
I think with a play time of 3,000 years they were assuming it’d not be possible to reach a decent fraction of the speed of light with a life sustaining vessel.
Interesting to know that that is possible, I thought inertia increases with speed so the closer you get to c the more energy input you’d need to sustain acceleration. Maybe that doesn’t kick in until well over half c though.
What type of fuel and how much is required for say a apollo command module type passenger cabin?
You can keep a [motor vehicle] as a pet, but you don’t want to live with a [motorbike], okay, 'cause the noise level alone on those things…have you ever heard a [moyorbike] up close?
Lots of French creoles and patois across the ex-French-empire. The French authorities can define it as not “French” if they don’t like it, but I doubt the speakers care.
Any where they they let you define your own function are asking for trouble.
def add(a,b){ return(a-b) }
I think you need to use assembly code to stop this b.s.
I thnik Subcultures and sub-cultural contexts will always exist.
There’s always some cases where people have - and prefer- a small or specialist audience.
If you try to discourage it too hard you’ll probably end up with more slangs/ patois / creoles emerging. Try to clamp down of business consultant jargon and see what happens, a million worse terms will probably emerge.
By whatever means, some of those new words or new tweaks on existing words caught on and spread.
By whatever memes . . .
Virginia Occidentale has a nice ring to it. It’'d fuck up John Denver too.
There are still some cunts who’ll floor it between speed bumps and down narrow streets. Any copper who bangs one of them up is fine by me. acab is only because mostly they don’t.
Yep, lots of regulation, not necessarily even socialist stuff , some of it was just prudent financial system management. Glass-Steagall for example and bretton-woods and stuff that limited limited power and sought to tame some animal spirits.
I’m guessing someone photoshopped some blue bars. I’m not convinced anyone really answered it. Or if they did why? What were the stakes?
If i were to be paid to answer a stupid questions, I’d gladly give a stupid answers all day long. I don’t think that’s a stupid thing to do - the stupid thing is to ask the question. In fact that is about half of my real job.
