Science and expert opinion should be respected, “your own research” is usually worthless, Black Lives Matter, Taiwan is a country, Love is Love, and Trans Rights are Human Rights.
No nazis or tankies, thanks.
If we started now, we’d be ready in a couple decades in all but the most compact metro areas. And that’s after we build the requisite political will. The US fucked itself hard leaning into cars as transport.
But that’s reality for most of us living in the burbs where the schools are better and the neighborhoods are better for kid stuff.
If you’re being fiscally responsible there’s no way to buy most new cars. People are too used to living well above their means. How these Army recruits straight out of boot camp are dropping 80k on a truck that’ll never even see a sheet of plywood or drywall assuming the bed is even big enough is beyond me.
I haven’t paid more than 18k on a car and even that felt like too much. And I’m well above the median household income for my region.
Frankly I wish I didn’t need a car at all, but it’ll be decades before our infrastructure can support that lifestyle if ever. Unless you’re willing to give up an additional 2 to 3 hours per day on travel … and I’m not.
They’re still in Europe, and I said Europe, not the EU. Also Brexit was in 2020 and I’m relatively certain those pipes were there before that.
You obviously don’t understand
I assure you I am fully aware of the many ways lead has made its way into water in both Europe and the US including literal lead pipes. Actual lead pipes have been banned in the US since 1986 as per my link but of course many remain.
Denmark appears to be ahead of most of Europe, but it’s not just former soviet countries that struggle. England and Wales have lead pipes running to an estimated 25% of households and don’t expect that problem to be cleared up by 2040 or later.
At what level though and how was the lead content assessed?
High levels of lead has been illegal to use in US water systems since 1986. Regulations have gotten more and more strict since then. The EPA’s current goal is ZERO lead, but we still have too much in the water.
It just doesn’t appear to be that much better in the EU, if at all.
Aren’t most farms corporate operations now?
"An initial estimate is that 25% of domestic dwellings in the EU have a lead pipe, either as a connection to the water main, or as part of the internal plumbing, or both, potentially putting 120 million people at risk from lead in drinking water within the EU. "
Pretty expensive, ineffective way to go about it.
Tea. Just make tea. You’ve effectively ruled out almost everything else.
Every single time some dude writes “females” I see this.
I’ve encountered so much crazy on the Internet that I can’t tell who’s joking, trolling, behind 7 layers of irony, off their meds, and/or incredibly serious.
It’s designed to serve media you download. So it has whatever you’ve acquired.
The level of self-own here is impressive. As is either the commitment to the bit or the delusion. Either way, you’ll make a fine entry on my block list.
If you’re not gonna bother to link something why even post? I don’t know either of you. All this post boils down to from my perspective is “random Internet stranger accuses other, slightly less random Internet stranger of transphobia.” That and $5 will score me a latte.
He will then propose weaponizing the Cybertruck to take down Hamas. It will arrive in 7 or so years, be completely unfit for the task, and when it doesn’t get used he’ll pick a defense expert and call them a pedo.
Kind of off topic but you and Stamets post SO MUCH STUFF that I’m starting to wonder if ya’all are really just one person on the account and where you guys source content…
I think there’s a kernel of truth to it. A poor first impression followed by a subsequent recovery tells us that a game could have been good at launch, but was rushed out for various reasons. This practice of forcing the public to pay to be beta testers for a half finished product should be punished.
And nothing’s going to erase a garbage launch. It will always have been garbage and the shit launch will always be a part of the conversation about the game. Hence why we still talk about it even in games that have recovered.
You can’t patch history.
My local huge park, pool, and sports complex is .7 miles. I have multiple stores and restaurants .5 miles away. Our library is also about .7 miles away. My burb is relatively walkable and perfectly bike-able.
Our grid has its own problems and is completely unsafe for cyclists a lot of the time. I know; I work there. My city has removed lanes from streets to create space for bikes and people still get killed by idiots in cars. Still inadequate public transit. Only more walkable than my own burb in certain, hyper expensive neighborhoods. Cheaper areas have homeless problems (warmer climate) resulting in tons of property crimes (mostly stolen bikes and break-ins). Many encounters with bonk-shit crazy guys yelling at stop signs (and people). Some of them have large, aggressive dogs. Oh, and then there’s the fires they start by attempting to cook or warm themselves and then getting high or drunk.
Frankly I would be stoked to live in a townhouse or condo or something on the grid. All my favorite restaurants are down there, lots to do, etc. But it’s shit for kids and the schools are rough as fuck.
