  • [Gavin Newsom] cut healthcare for undocumented immigrants. One lawmaker wants it back

    Jump

  • This is crazy - how is immigration status relevant to healthcare. All people are people. There’s only one humane choice

  • Other people's dogs are great!

    Jump

  • I never minded any of that, but the real challenge is time. Not all dogs are ok being left alone all day and arguably a standard workday is too long anyway.

    I enjoyed having dogs when my kids were little, because someone could be home more often. But now that the kids are in college it just doesn’t work.

    I’m having that argument again today. My ex had gotten a dog over my objection that neither of us would be home. Sure enough the dog barks so can’t be left alone in her condo. I can’t say no to a dog, but I’m gone for 9 hours straight and that’s inhumane (plus as the dog gets older she’s started having accidents in that time).

  • Why China can withstand oil's surge past $100 more easily than other countries

    Jump

  • We not only don’t have time to spin up nuclear, but nuclear is not economically viable, and the hope that small modular reactors would change that doesn’t appear to have panned out.

    Nuclear power generation has some nice properties but remains by far the most expensive and time consuming option

  • Spain’s Wind-Farm Bargain | Renewable-energy projects can boost the economy of a rural town—if the community has a say in development.

  • Someone needs to sell this to West Virginia. Instead of holding tight to the few remaining coal jobs, letting coal conglomerates ruin their health and their environment, losing their economy and their population, here’s something with a more believable promise for a better future

  • Doesn't everyone do this? Right guys?...

    Jump

  • Yeah I don’t know what the algorithm pushes on others but I definitely see more conservative propaganda than I like…… I’ve even started seeing shite like parasites causing diabetes and other insane health conspiracy theories

    I suppose all the dating and gender role nonsense is most likely of the stuff pushed on me to affect someone, because it’s widespread, not too extreme, and starts with a grain of truth before heading off the rails

  • Keeping the tally of suicides. Pedestrians vs those in cars

    Jump

  • It’s a hunting tram. You’ve heard of a “hunting lodge” but those were never successful because they can’t move. The next step is to add wheels

  • Global oil prices are skyrocketing 🛢️📈. This week, people in Alexandria, Virginia, are protesting against bike lanes

    Jump

  • As someone who used to live in places with very limited places to park, that shouldn’t be a deal breaker. Some do have driveways and there are side streets. It’s not the end of the world to have to park around the corner. (Assuming the side streets are less crowded than downtown Boston)

  • You don’t have to be religious to support people who are, just like you don’t have to cycle to support people who do. Both are community needs

  • Cambridge, Massachusetts, Reports Better Bike Lanes Led to Surge In Bike Traffic

    Jump

  • That’s unfortunate. When bus lanes were new I saw them mostly honored despite huge backups from losing lanes. I used to goto Cambridge daily but admittedly haven’t been there in a few years

  • In this case I doubt it

  • What's your opinion on utilizing our resources to further our ability to travel in space?

    Jump

  • One of the interesting things I found in the Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson was the first mars settlers trying to create a new type of society without many of the problems the left behind.

  • What's your opinion on utilizing our resources to further our ability to travel in space?

    Jump

  • Those earth-like exoplanets are many light years away. They’re not just a hop past mars and we may never be able to reach them (cue people jumping in talking generation ships that we don’t know if we will ever be able to build ).

    There are other possible places in our solar system though, depending on how many problems we’re able to solve, notably large water moons of the gas giants

    So yeah, systematic, gradually reach farther, moon—>mars—>space stations—> water moons, over a few centuries. I’m sure each step will be harder than the last but we can dream we can grow we can meet challenges …. Until we cant

  • What's your opinion on utilizing our resources to further our ability to travel in space?

    Jump

  • Yes and no. I don’t really see how robots in space is usually an end goal. Sure, we need satellites, probes, telescopes like we already do.

    But mining is a great example where there’s no point . Of course robots can do it cheaper than humans but there are extremely few, if any, resources valuable enough to be worth mining in space and bringing back. Maybe helium-3 if we ever get fusion working.

    Where it is worth machines mining in space is to support human space activities. Being able to, for example, build habitats or at least radiation shielding from simple local rock saves huge amounts over bringing that weight from earth. The reason people are excited about craters near the South Pole of the moon is the prospect mining water, oxygen, even rocket fuel for use to make human space activities radically cheaper. At that point you’ve drastically cut the weight of things needing to be lifted from earth, radically cut costs, while making life in space generally safer and easier.

  • What's your opinion on utilizing our resources to further our ability to travel in space?

    Jump

  • While it’s easy to agree with your priorities, taking resources away from our future will make next to no difference. Most of these issues are not budget issues and the space program is a miniscule budget comparatively.

    For example most of these places where overuse of water is ruining ecosystems can’t really be helped with money. Maybe more intelligent allocation helps in some cases but we really need to face that some places can’t support the number of people there

  • What's your opinion on utilizing our resources to further our ability to travel in space?

    Jump

  • “Disperse the population” is still way out in the future and we don’t even know yet if we’ll be able to.

    But there are so many steps we should be taking. Life shouldn’t just be a drudge, a life worth living has hopes and dreams, visions of a better future, in addition to challenges driving innovation. Yes we need to invest more in our people, but investing in our dreams has far less money but can return larger value

    I know I’ll never live long enough to see a colony but the space program has been a true inspiration from the beginning watch Apollo landings on the family black and white tv. We had a bit of a lull but developments around space are coming faster and more exciting than ever.

    I’m excited to progress toward a permanently manned moon base, to answer more questions about whether we’ll ever be able to live in space, develop ever more technology to approach that possibility.

    Jump

  • Bs, not more “both sides same”

  • Global oil prices are skyrocketing 🛢️📈. This week, people in Alexandria, Virginia, are protesting against bike lanes

    Jump

  • I was actually going to jump on their side: that area is still very car centric and you need to be able to handle that while taking steps toward safe cycling and walkability. …… then the video was showing a mostly empty street where many of the houses had driveways, so no. They can suck it up and park in their driveway or around the corner like the rest of us

    Or heck, that street is really wide. We have narrower streets with both a protected bike lane and parking

    The church should have accomodations though, even if it means closing part of the bike lane sundays

  • Cambridge is like 30 years ahead of this. They are a model for the rest of us

  • Cambridge, Massachusetts, Reports Better Bike Lanes Led to Surge In Bike Traffic

    Jump

  • This is not just a matter of adding protected bike lanes. Cambridge is a geographically tiny but high population density city that has been consistently working in this direction for decades. What would be a huge accomplishment anywhere is just another step

    It’s fantastic they’ve been able to accomplish so much toward car-free living and I wish I could afford to live there.

    One of the things people should take from my response is that protected bike lanes are a great step but not sufficient by themselves. All the other steps Cambridge has taken to increase walkability, bus, and subway access, to curtail cars, to encourage walking, to adding protected bus lanes, to remapping their street grid to form an oasis helped make this possible
