Since Light doesn't immediately write his police-chief father's name in the book. Since light planned to become a cop himself.
In case this is real: you realize that trains already exist, right? Crackheads don't "steal the copper from the rail", in part because the rails don't have copper (they're made of steel, the copper is in the overhead line), and in part because the rails are giant continuously-welded steel rails nailed to concrete sleepers; you can't just pick em up and walk off with em.
0%, straight-up killing a billionaire would freak out other billionaires, and Elon is the most easily discredited person ever. A character assassination would be more effective than an actual assassination.
The Pinephone already exists, and costs $200 instead of $900.
The problem with Linux phones isn't that they don't exist, it's that they're an obscure OS that doesn't have literally billions of dollars of development to make the thing a bulletproof daily driver like Android has received. See Drew Devault's post on the issue.
The specs might be better on this phone (I'd hope so given the cost), but the specs don't really matter if the thing's running the same software and is just as unstable as a result.
To be fair, the important part about buying a Mercedes isn't that you know what a Mercedes is, it's that others know what a Mercedes is before you drive past them.
Why is a next-door auto repair neighbour bad? Do you not have laws on noise?
If you live above a proper restaurant expect no roaches ever, because they can't afford for literally a single roach to be seen in their restaurant by their customers.
I couldn’t figure how to work that angle in otherwise.
Instead of food/water/shelter, the needs are condom-factory, sex-dungeons,lube.
And basically did the Action RPG equivilent of dying to the first Goomba in Super Mario Bros.’ World 1-1 at a live convention where your speedrunning skills are the main attraction
I'm pretty sure the current standard is playing Halo and fumbling so badly you have to turn the difficulty down from Legendary to Normal, and missing your target time by over an hour (see: the Cody Miller Halo GDQ speedrun).
Well, we all knew this was coming. "AI will be powered by renewables and fund the green transition!" no, it'll be powered by whatever meets their business needs, and they're running high-end electronics which means they'll be running 24/7.
Specifically, tax them by (weight/axle)^4 * speed^2. You'll notice that a 2ton car costs 16x as much as a 1ton car.
I want cities to be more like Venice or Florence or basically any city built before the 1780s. They worked just fine. There are places like that in the city I live in, but they're horrifically expensive because it's literally illegal to build more of them.
And to be clear, I'm not saying "I want to put homeless people in these places", I'm saying "I want to live in these places, and lots of others do to so stop making them fucking illegal to build more of."
No, you tell the time by staring into the parts of the sky that aren't the sun, and use that to figure out where the sun is.
This means prehistoric humans persistence-hunting wolves is canonical to the crazyness2400verse.
Building more housing helps, but building new housing will remain expensive for as long as land is expensive, so it's vital that we avoid wasting land. Which means density.
Some people read "density" and think "ah, taller buildings!", but that's only half the picture - you can save tremendous amounts of space by improving horizontal density - look at how dense OP's one storey housing is, by shrinking the houses, and by ditching the front yard and dedicated sidewalks.
Except, most of the space is still empty! Those streets are oversized (take a look at traditional cities, most streets are under 20ft wide (6m wide) wall-to-wall), and the houses all have gaps next to them which look big enough to fit (or almost fit) another house. So you could easily more-than-double the density without even going up, assuming the housing isn't car-centric (I'm guessing those empty spots might be car parks, and the streets are overly wide because they're for cars).
If this sounds nitpicky, it's not: building one-storey houses is dirt cheap; imagine trying to make a portable two-storey tent. It even makes it realistically possible to remove developers from the equation, without too much going horribly wrong. It just needs to be efficient with the land it uses.
240sqft = 22.3sqm
If you insulate against noise properly, you won't.
Bullet Heaven is an old bullet-hell game playable here. Naming the genre that is stupid.
Bullet Heaven is the name of an existing game, don't clobber it with a genre name.
Here's some better advice for protestors/saboteurs: DO NOT CONFESS TO YOUR CRIMES ON SOCIAL MEDIA
You hit abandoned buildings and street signs? Ohhhh no sirree, SOME UNKNOWN PERSON hit abandoned buildings and street signs. No idea who it was. Not one clue.
The Traditional City simply refers to the pattern of development that human civilization has built in for millenia.
