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
I'm not an expert, but have used a real time kernel for scientific research, using rtxi. My understanding is that the real time threads allows the computations to occur in a deterministic amount of time. This is necessary if you want to quickly respond to changes in personal membrane voltage with injections of current, and don't want it to sometimes take longer to calculate how much current to inject.
I'm generally against the idea of planting as many trees as possible.
Trees are not very good carbon sinks because they decompose and burn. Also, there are also some ecological communities where adding trees makes the land a worse carbon sink.
Avoiding cutting down forests to build suburbs is something I can certainly get behind though.
In Amsterdam the mode share for all trips is like 30% for biking and for walking and like 20% for driving and for transit
Maybe if Paper abortion existed. But as it stands, the ability of an abortion to free a man from child support duties depends on his ability to convince someone else to get an abortion.
ls is actively maintained. The headline is referencing exa, which is unmaintained. eza is a fork of exa.
Even with those concerns, I still like tolls
A. Driving a car has externalities that are currently not priced in the gas tax / registration fees. This means that having toll free roads are also regressive in that they are forcing people who do not drive (often due to poverty) to subsidize those who do drive. It makes sense to make the drivers pay for more of the harm they cause others, and tolls are a simple way of doing this. They are also can help discourage driving since paying every time you drive in a certain area is probably more noticable than paying once a year when you register your car.
B. This is a real issue in 205 where there is another bridge right next to it. Maybe in this case, you can add a toll to both bridges. But generally, the urban growth boundaries in Oregon make it easy to find places to find put toll booths where there is no way to drive around it.
Polls have a margin of error and election results have generally been within the 80% confidence interval 80% of the time.
It is true that when there are less polls (like in special elections) it's harder to get an understanding of the state of the race.
Polls have been remarkably accurate in the last few election cycles.
The "polls are wrong" talking point is a convenient way for politicians to ignore the will of the people. Trump has done this for a long time, and recently Biden has taken up this practice to pretend that the "Real Americans" think he is fit to be president for another 4 years.
So please don't repeat this talking point, or at least read a bit into historical accuracy of polls before you declare them bullshit.
Biden is absolutely not leading. State polling has him behind in every swing state. Nate Silver's model gives Biden a 30% chance of winning, slightly down from the debate.
Tolls would also work
In the US you sometimes hear that phones in class are necessary to see if your kids are OK in a school shooting scenario.
I think this isn't a good argument, since school shootings are rare, and it's unclear if each student having a phone would do more harm than good in that kind of situation.
I think your Title IX comment is a misinterpretation of the video. He never said Title IX is responsible for the achievement gap, and cautioned against policies that disadvantage girls. He used Title IX as an example to show that the academic achievement gap in favor of boys, that Title IX was attempting to solve, is smaller than the current academic gap in favor of girls (at least by one measure); therefore systemic action is necessary.
But I found this video did a good job at clearly stating the crisis we have for boys, particularly black boys in America. And the idea of pushing for more male teachers, particularly English teachers, seems like good policy.
I don't see the connection between neurodivergence and phones
Bikes are cheaper than cars
I've received the advice that you should always make your charts so that you numbers are proportional to a length, since people aren't good at comparing areas (or volumes).
So the numbers here probably ought to be proportional to diameters
hitting refresh in firefox reader mode works for me.
Short haul flights should probably be high speed train rides anyway
I've been using Rofi for a few years. I can't think of anything to look out for, pretty much does what it says on the tin.
Yes, so I can probably plan for it.
It seems like comments show up immediately now. At least on Lemmy.world
