How cold would the pipe be in space if it was shaded? Wouldnt that cut the energy needed by a bit?

Some doctors*

The front line primary care doctors and nurse practitioners dont make as much as IT people quite often.

What do the millions of independent mechanics do all day?

You avoid eating things that are risky by preparing them yourself. Which is what I do for my alpha-gal meat allergy.

Moissanite isn't exactly cheap either.

Because old people exist it is now the duty of the unborn to care for them? That is so sad.

You use big pumps to fill the lock from the low side instead of just opening a valve or the doors slightly. This would then increase the salinity on the lake side and cause whatever problems that would cause.

Not everyone wants to be an avatar for a social ill. Some people just want to live their lives and be left alone.

Then the server farm where your code runs will be taxed. Maybe you run it from your house, in that case then it is part of that.

You are still just moving it around at the end of the day. Presumably as you grow more profitable and wealthy you would relocate to higher value real estate. If not then you are spreading the wealth to lower value areas which is also a good thing. Seems like all good things in the end.

Internet businesses have physical locations somewhere. Even if they are drop shipping than someone else is paying the land value tax for the warehouses they are shipping from. The land use exists somewhere at some level of the value chain and that somewhere would then be taxed.

We absolutely do not have to allow our geopolitical enemies to do it on our soil to our citizens.

We should ban it here too but they have too much money for that to happen unfortunately.

Where on earth does it say that the government cannot limit access to information? If that were true then how on earth is book censorship legal?

For that matter, how was it legal to change to digital tv broadcasts? CCP tiktok can absolutely still operate a website that wont be blocked. The medium of delivery isnt protected speech.

It also doesnt carve out children at school or yelling fire. Yet state employees are absolutely allowed to censor children in and on public property.

What is the difference in making the terms of operation impossible or forcing a sale really at the end of the day?

Why doesnt google or meta operate in China?

It doesnt have to be pro CCP. All they have to do is slightly boost anti US or anti Israel or anti Ukraine and it is the same thing. Slowly boiling the frog by boosting fringe voices and promoting them as common views.

Ironically AT&T is bigger now than it was when it was broken apart.

Not on my side. We dont throttle anything.

This is also becoming and issue on the ISP side. These IPTV services are causing support calls for slow speeds and tv freezes when in reality it is just the pirate streams having issues.

Making cement without baking the limestone, which itself releases carbon plus the burning of gas to make the heat, is possible and is being piloted now. We just lack the will to mandate these changes.

This installing work 2fa apps on my personal phone also needs to go. I actually have no idea how to transfer all of these things if I drop my phone and break it. Absolutely crazy that so much is tied up in this terrible idea.

Easy is not a word that I would use to describe reconductoring. It is a hard job that requires a ton of planning and in a lot of cases removes redundancy from a substation while its being done. It isn't simple or stupidly easy or any other kind of easy. Why would someone write such an out of touch mass of words.

But the parent wants to build roads in the same place? I get the NIMBYism but building roads and trains is going to have the same exact problem from NIMBYists.

I was replying to your desire for more roads and transit into the metro. Upscaling the existing low density closer in the city itself would be far cheaper if the barriers were removed.

I am not for degrowth though. I am for densification. Make the city larger and more compact instead of bussing and training more people in from the sprawl. Build more and taller and for more people than what is being done.

Then why do the policies of NYC not match that perspective? I wish everyone would move to NYC personally but there doesn't seem to be any movement to improve the city itself. I don't think you have to build more roads or trains to build more and taller in NYC itself instead of pushing the problem outward.

You are missing the forest for an unhinged rant. The lie that is fed to everyone is that traffic will be improved by expanding roads. It is simply a lie. Tell the truth about what these projects are for and you can start having a legitimate discussion. You are simply distorting the actual truth of what happens.

Trains also don't induce demand in the middle of the routes the same way because there aren't exits to build more garbage. If you want to talk about building expressways from city to city without exits then you have a more apt comparison.

We don't NEED to build something. Maybe NYC is big enough and people need to consider going elsewhere with better policies. We need to stop this narrative that growth must continue indefinitely.

How many times are the torque specs available to me when working on my car? I have no idea what random bolts are supposed to be so they get the good n tight click.
