That’s been the case since '16. Things need to change at the DNC because maga sure as shit aren’t going away.

Another point is that cars, car infrastructure, and car oriented development is one of the single most wasteful ways to use land. Building smarter cities with alternative transit systems, mixed use areas, and actually using all 3 dimensions like many newer cities in China could protect so much habitat from needlessly being destroyed. There’s hardly any truly wild land left on the east coast, it’s hard to tell what things used to look like now that practically everything is covered in suburbs and strip malls.

Yes for now. That rule might change though

I guess if 1 and 2 get taken out things could get a lot worse 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ

I imagine everything else became more expensive too, labor, shipping, processing, etc

I can see this going wrong with steam proton if each install gets it’s own wine config, simply reinstalling or updating might look like a new machine

Why would they choose a us citizen. That’s already a difficult place to start cause there’d be more surveillance on him vs another person from a different country or a full Chinese citizen.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but coal powered plants have caused more cancer than any of those events on their own and when operated safely to modern standards they have a very low to no risk of release whereas coal plants release pollutants by design. Nuclear waste is in a solid state so it’s far easier to dispose of underground vs coal which immediately gets put into the atmosphere

It’s wise to have a small toaster oven if you absolutely need to cook something. They preheat fast and obviously put off less heat than a full oven. I don’t really bother with the oven much these days as it’s getting over 110 here at the moment. Also cook after the sun sets

It blows my mind how homes in the desert hardly use swamp coolers. It’s just a sign to me how unprepared people are. If the grid becomes unstable, this place almost immediately becomes uninhabitable due to how inefficient ac is. Homes are hardly built with efficiency in mind. I see homes painted black, with floor to ceiling windows, set on top of sand stone cliffs. Nobody out here seems to realize how dangerous this all is or that they’re living in a desert.

Ffs if it were me id dig into the ground and paint my walls white, and only put windows on the north/south sides, use geothermal cooling/a swamp cooler, etc.
