Why are trains better than buses? Bus rapid transit is super cost effective and can be quite metrolike

My understanding is that it goes entirely to public transit

What do you have against E. coli?

They safely live in your intestine (though pathogenic strains exist) and are very easy to geneticly engineer.

In suburbs people might have neighbors at that distance and a car brain would drive to their neighbors house

What’s wrong with it?

Why not bother them?

Browsing without login still gives you an algorithm, but one for the lowest common denominator. I’d suggest using the subscription feed

In the US, we weigh ourselves in pounds. But nutritional information about food is in grams.

Imo, the fact that the numerator and denominator units are incompatible isn’t a big deal since the message “eat .08% percent of your body weight in protein each day” is not the intuitive way to think about how much to eat. It’s much easier to use a unit in the numerator that is common measuring nutrition and a unit in the denominator that is common for measuring body weight.

The electric interurban railways in America talks about the history of electric passenger trains that connected American cities particularly in the Midwest. Lots of fun maps of the networks and they describe how all the companies failed.

Thought it was written with a 1960s carbrain perspective, the information is interesting

A history of rock music in 500 songs is very good

To be fair, the food butternut squash is doing fine even though it contains the phrase “nut squash”

That’s a good point to illustrate the importance of banning cars for personal transportation; all of the traffic is making your partner’s job slower and more stressful

If you’re doing it over an app, without the chance for the person you’re dumping to respond, I see no risk of things turning nasty

They did this in California and Oregon, then the schools went to shit.

Also, property taxes are a good way to encourage density, which is necessary to fight climate change

Ebike subsidies take no time. Increaseing bus frequencies is a bit faster (depending on local job markets). Painting bike gutters is pretty fast. Putting some traffic cones for modal filters is pretty fast.

It’s true that this change will be tough for poor people who bought cars in the short term. But it’s good for poor people who didn’t buy cars in the short term (which is a lot of people with the most need). And good for all poor people in the long term.

If you want to help poor people, subsidizing an antisocial form of transportation that some poor people use is not a good choice.

Making cars mandatory fucks over working class people.

The government should stop subsidizing driving and put that money into a form of transportation that doesn’t require 10k a year for citizens to participate.
