In 2022, this is what the United States spent on trains and cars
  • Ironically the reason we can't keep up with car infrastructure is because there's too much of it.

    It much more costly to maintain, especially when scaling to more lanes.

    Reducing space given to cars and giving more to bikes/buses/trains would make it easier to upkeep our current roads.

  • Cleaning plastic containers in a dishwasher is a source of microplastic pollution, study finds
  • No offenses, but I'm gonna put a lot more weight behind a peer reviewed Nature paper, rather than some random podcaster.

    The explained their methodology pretty well. They extrapolate the microplastics amount from a small bit of cortical tissue, and compared it to previous results. Yeah there might not be as much in other parts of the brain, but we don't have a reason to think it would be drastically different.

  • The Potsdam Gravity Potato
  • Based on Wikipedia I think the unit is milligals, where a gal is 1 centimeter per second squared.

    That is a bit of an odd unit where g is ~980,000 milligals.

    So these changes are extremely small.

    So then the total variation is all within about 0.02% of gravities normal value

  • Damn
  • Newton's laws, including gravity and motion, can be expressed in terms of differential equations.

    Differential equations pretty much requires calculus, which just hadn't been formalized yet.

    Newton's laws also provide convincing reasons for the necessity and legitimacy of calculus, by being able to derive orbits from his simple laws.

  • Sock Puppet Twitter
  • In America, the housing problem is significantly contributed by over-regulations. In most areas, it is only legal to build single family homes. It shouldn't be a surprise that we can't build enough homes for everyone with only houses.

    That's not the only issue either.

  • ‘Let this be a warning’: Attorney General announces ‘severe’ charges over Tesla attacks
  • Everyone was that was caught was found out because they took a car and got their license plate scanned.

    There was other evidence too like clothes and fingerprints, but those probably would not have been enough evidence on it's own.

    Leave your phone at home, don't bring anything you don't need, don't leave any items behind, and get rid of recognizable clothing.

    And keep it simple, don't draw unnecessary attention.

  • Bigscreen Announces the Beyond 2 VR Headset
  • Why is the resolution limited at 90hz?

    There should be plenty of bandwidth to run 2x2560x2560 at 90hz. That should only be ~28.3gbps, which is less than dp 1.4 max of 32.

    And it's less bandwidth than a 4k monitor at 240hz, though that requires DSC.

  • How Three Alleged Tesla Vandals Got Caught
  • These people got caught because someone found their car and thus license plate.

    Another had left a fingerprinted bottle that went missing when watching surveillance footage.

    And then were able to confirm after finding the same outfit from the surveillance footage.

    The lessons to be learned are to not use cars anywhere near the scene, leave no trace, fingerprints or digital evidence, including a phone, and make sure any recognizable clothing is well hidden, or even better thoroughly destroyed.

    Oh and don't post anything on social media.

  • More Americans Rode a Bike Than Ever Before in 2024, Youth Participation Saw the Biggest Surge
  • Probably also ebikes, they take away a lot of what sucks as a bike commuter, or for recreation.

    It shouldn't be seen as poverty, as in some cases biking is more convenient, especially in more urban area where parking is harder to find.

  • 7 Tesla Charging Stations Torched Near Boston
  • What else is owned by tesla that is easily accessible?

    Many teslas were purchased by people who were unaware, so the cars don't make great targets.

    Damaging superchargers is an appropriate target to punish those involved in dismantling American democracy.

  • Tesla on fire
  • Nah fuck that.

    Money is the only thing that matters to the ultra rich, burn it down.

    Most tesla drivers can charge at home, or somewhere else with an adapter. They'll be fine.

  • So now that season 4 has been out a bit, what are your thoughts?

    I have noticed that its much more difficult when you get a lot of the new mobs.

    The corrupter is a pain to fight on uneven terrain, which is most caves.

    The septic spitter creates painful hazards, but is at least easy to identify and kill.

    I've seen the stingtail down so many people by moving them out of position repeatedly, so I've found i need to protect teamates it's targeting.

    I love the jet boots, especially as gunner, but even as scout its useful. I just wish I'd see them more.
