But yes, ignoring that kind of reasoning, it does set a very high bar.
Also, the parents do have quips/groaning about the requests of the kids from time to time which is does add to the authenticity.
The whole I-10 thing in LA right now cracks me up. Like they are begging people "please take the bus/train, don't drive", because 1 road closed. Imagine if the bus/train was already preferred because the infrastructure was so much better. Imagine if all the haste/special orders they used to fix the road, they consistently used that to build/expand public transit and walking/biking instead.
The damage is so deep that it feels irreversible at this point, like the US will be doomed to cars and traffic forever. If it took NL like 30-50 years starting in the 70s to reverse course, were looking at a century+ here if we were to start now, which were not.
Half the middle east has the right to come to the US and murder civilians by your reasoning above.
If you go with 40 million folks, we could have just given 200k to each person instead of killing/displacing them. Its even more wild than I imagined.
I'm not sure if the product exists, but something that replicates a homemade setup would be amazing.
Think of a bundled camera(s) + raspberry pi + 1tb backup drive or whatever that you can only access over your own dedicated personal wireguard vpn (or tailscale, something like that), but sold as a retail bundle.
Of course, that would cut out all the SaaS/app data selling aspect so it seems unlikely to happen.
edit: sorry, to be more constructive let me add https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2020/5/14/americas-growt... as a small explanation for what is all wrong with 'roads' in america. Car infrastructure is insanely expensive and we have a ton of terrible status quos in the US that add to it.
Then what? How do I throw that in a configuration.nix or flake.nix file?
home.file.".gitconfig".source = config.lib.file.mkOutOfStoreSymlink ./dotfiles/git/.gitconfig;
xdg.configFile."nvim" = {
recursive = true;
source = config.lib.file.mkOutOfStoreSymlink ./dotfiles/nvim;
};I always thought the issue was in admin body count. However, just picking the largest universities in Germany and US on wikipedia we see:
Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich Academic staff: 5,565 Administrative staff: 8,208 Students: 51,606
Michigan State University Academic staff: 5,703 Administrative staff: 7,365 Students: 49,809
Those look pretty comparable, so what is going on?
Its tough to balance reading https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/San-Francisco-crime-Che... that kinda shows crime is average for a large US city with the Bell Riots in the DS9 storyline https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Bell_Riots as an outsider.
Either way, shouldn't San Fran have plenty of money from all the tech there and plenty of extra office real estate from covid to try and put a dent in all the circumstances that lead up to someone needing to steal or getting addicted to drugs? Probably too optimistic of a take ...
After 10 years, I recently built myself a new 'desktop' and used one of these and it truly is a 'desktop' now and sits in the corner of my desk as opposed to under it like my old tower. https://www.dan-cases.com/dana4.php
