Its pretty insane we don’t invest in our cities anymore when they’re the powerhouse of the economy. Not to mention they’re a way better use of land than suburbs and rural living. You can find affordable places in Tokyo and so many other cities worldwide that dwarf ours in almost every metric. Cities really aren’t the problem, they are actually the potential solution if we change our policies around them and attempt to catch up with countries like Japan.

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

Plus you can probably run stock Android on the op6 if you wanted to run Android 13

It said support was bipartisan, which if you know anything about Michigan conservatives and Whitmer its pretty shocking they’d agree on anything

Poor kid. 2 weeks of his schooling disrupted over complete bs. Dress code is already mostly bs, but leave it to Texas to take it the nth degree and dictate hair length. Not even in Utah do they have such draconian rules on hair length.

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.

Yeah my SO and I are too busy with bg3, maybe by the time we get to it it’ll have a coop mod ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

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

I’m glad to hear that’s not the case! I was speaking on my own experience living out west in the US where there is still a lot of public land. The attitude in the western US is unfortunately pretty bad. They want more and more public land to develop into low density single family home markets like Phoenix. It’s pretty infuriating hearing the locals moan about BLM and concoct conspiracies about how they stole land from them and show zero interest in the health of the local wildlife.

There’s still quite a bit of untouched land in Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Navajo, basically anywhere that has large amounts of BLM land, but this unfortunately is getting pushback from locals who want everything to be developed.

Yeah I can’t help but feel so frustrated seeing people develop places like this. In order to support wildlife they need valleys as well as mountains. You can’t just build on every strip of usable land because a lot of animals need to graze and nest there too.

I moved to Utah and a lot of towns cities straddle mountains like this where the town is in the valley next to the mountains. It’s very cool, but Id take forests over a view. I find being surrounded by woods much more comforting than high desert with a view but I guess that just depends on where you grew up.

I disagree, transit is hard when everything is so far apart. Cities need to develop first for the transit to follow, not the other way around otherwise they’re doomed to fail. Using the subway in LA is pretty useless compared to NYC because the distance you need to travel is far greater to get to the city center. The transition back to good city design won’t be easy or convenient

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.

I’m pretty sure it’s password encrypted, so in theory yeah it should be secure if your master password is, but if someone gets access to it I think they could try to brute force your vault open.

It’s not that hard to maintain tbh, it’s actually simpler than a lot of other self hosted options because it just works on every device with no weird setup with syncthing. It’s made my life so much simpler and I like being able to quickly share logins with my fiance.

You can self host bitwarden using vaultwarden on docker + pi with SQLite. You just need to make sure you backup your vault to a remote service from time to time, but you can encrypt that
