I don't think you read and understood the article you just linked. That is talking about a very broad set of reforms, not the single family home zoning abolishment.

> higher housing prices

Have you ever heard of a market?

Those abolishments are way less intense than you're thinking. There's still a ton of restrictions that make building even the triplexes that they technically legalized actually get built. Things like floor/area ratios and setbacks, which make building dwellings that people want difficult.

Not to belabor a service frequently suggested here, but have you ever tried https://kagi.com/? I find it much more reliable.

like other game companies (cough Nintendo) their old library is viewed as direct competition with their current set of games/subscription products. also wotmrth remembering that Blizzard is now a Microsoft property.

if you want a host of weird and horrible diseases, read through beth moles article history.

we have 2 orange kittens, and just this morning caught one of them trying to eat pebbles. there's always some weird new hijinks that they're up to.

If you stick to just following, twitter 2 months ago was fine, as long as you also didn't read the comments or click on your notifications (which was inevitable follows by cryptoshills). At this point the people I was following have all left, because they had to put up with way more shit than I did.

He should've been banned from Twitter for his own mental health years ago. Dude should've just stuck to building rockets and stopped trying to get into the culture war.

It suppresses outgoing links, which is like, the whole reason for many content creators to be on a website like it.

ex-twitter?

I agree, but this is obvious crankery.

> Perfect conversations are made possible through Conversational Game Theory.

this is not the sort of thing someone who has thought critically about their own work says.

I'm surprised something where the crankmeter goes off so strongly made it to the front page.

why are you bringing this up? It's irrelevant to the topic at hand

I've yet to hear a single ecologist equivocate on eliminating aedes aegypti, the primary vector for the worst vector borne diseases, and have heard many endorse the idea. Even so, things like Wolbachia give a means of effectively inoculating the vector.

oh I forgot the old wives tale was literally direct exposure rather than the season

Science is often in the business of verifying things people think are obvious.

Increased mucous production leading to higher transmissibility? more time spent indoors? drier air (that one was new to me) we don't actually know the mechanisms exactly, but there's some causal vector between cold weather and colds.

I've been confused by that law, because I'm pretty sure Bemidji has an internet coop (which is quite good, especially for a small town like it).

We need a national voting holiday.

The ecosystem managed by indigenous peoples through proscribed burns, yes. Nowhere humans have lived escaped humans altering the ecosystem to serve our needs.

wow they're banking ~1/3 of their budget? that seems excessive.

I'm fairly certain a large chunk of the problem is demographic shift. healthcare is one of those industries most used by the elderly, and the proportion of the population in that demographic has skyrocketed

> It seems backwards, but pretty much the only fuel that protects ecosystems on a large scale are fossil fuels and nuclear.

This is ludicrously off-base for fossil fuels, even if we're only talking about local pollutants from the plants themselves, nevermind things like Exxon Valdez or the pipelines or the act of mining. Nuclear seems likely, though as the other commenter noted it's not a magic bullet either.

> Global reforestation is almost entirely the result of households switching from wood to coal in the 20th century.

This is a European phenomena mostly, and is a result of urbanization mostly.

Yeah, the fact that they have direct access to VScode is anti-competitive. It doesn't require intent, it's baked in to the org structure.

that's a gotcha. analyzing norms is a matter of fact, and not itself normative. I happen to disagree, otherwise e.g. education wouldn't cause people to be more liberal.

not getting ICE knocking on your door and deporting you after living here for decades (happened to a friend's brother in law).

your satire is off base enough that people don't understand it's satire.

if you could, that's no longer waste, it's unused fuel.

yes, another successful example is slavery. another unresolved one is abortion. in all of these cases the freedom in question is arguably immoral. laws are downstream of moral convictions.

I suppose I really should use veg.*ns
