  • The rails wear out far slower than roads, and rail vehicles don't need as much maintenance as road vehicles

    If the rail vehicles displaced enough cars to reduce the need to resurface and rebuild the roads as often the economics could be good

  • I don't disagree with single family houses existing. I think they have their use, but they should reflect their actual cost. Suburbs right now don't pay for their roads or their transit.

    High density shouldn't have to subsidise people who want low density. Likewise the suburbs shouldn't subsidise high density, but high density is far far less costly

  • That's electricity by chemistry. Electricity by physics is done by moving a magnet relative to a wire, for example as the alternator in a car does

  • Electricity is remarkably simple. Children make machines that can make electricity since all you need to do is chemistry or move a magnet relative to a wire. You can make electricity you can feel by rubbing a balloon on your hair

  • Get charged to a few thousand volts, and you will feel the electric charge pushing your hairs away from each other

    You'll feel the electric fields just as you feel a breeze

  • Have you never been charged to thousands of volts? You can feel the static electric charge as it directly affects your body hair

    Additionally there is evidence humans can sense magnetic fields, with some populations always knowing where north is, and using cardinal directions in place of forward, backwards, left, right, front, and back

    Outsiders who have spent time with those people have learnt to sense their orientation.

  • You can resist it

  • I played a lot of robotech back in the day, but never bought the books or ran a game

    The updates are polishing the old rules. It's not a significant change, just clears up where they were ambiguous

  • And MUDs and MOOs

  • The politics of the victim probably couldn't be mentioned during the trial. They often suppress that sort of stuff

  • Down voting small communities can drown out constructive conversation, and if you down voted the top 3 posts in a community you probably should have blocked it instead.

    If the community likes stuff you dislike, it's probably not the right place for you

    Lemmy doesn't yet support hiding communities from the "all" list from non subscribers (you'd have to use search to find such communities) so you'll see stuff from communities that are intended for a specific audience, use the block function

  • I'm a fan of the Palladium games, much more of the universes than the system, especially Rifts, after the bomb & TMNT, and beyond the supernatural

    If I could find players for them I'd be running three or four games. Sadly I only have players for one, currently playing Rifts, but switching over to turtles once the Kickstarter new versions arrive

  • I have also heard about it from an Australian science radio show. It's not just my ideas

  • They also increase tyre wear particles due to their greater weight and torque

  • I'm using signal right now for a family group, so complex solutions won't work

  • Is it available for both smartphone ecosystems?

  • The valley I live in holds thousands of houses, there are hundreds of fires during colder parts of the year

    Every now and then we get seriously thick smoke from the coast on the sea breeze

    I have been to rural areas where the density is far less and have seen a single house's chimney fill a valley in still air

  • A single high efficiency wood heater can fill a valley with visible smoke. I can't believe that breathing that density of smoke can be healthy. The valley I live in is full of smoke from mid spring through to new years, I wonder how many are killed by that smoke

  • I abandoned the brand after the S4
