The electric interurban railways in America talks about the history of electric passenger trains that connected American cities particularly in the Midwest. Lots of fun maps of the networks and they describe how all the companies failed.

Thought it was written with a 1960s carbrain perspective, the information is interesting

I typically use Wolfram alpha for more complicated date math, and it answers a slightly modified version of this question correctly: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=what+day+is+the+11th

A history of rock music in 500 songs is very good

Ive used pythorhead which seems to be more actively maintained

I assume you mean you can’t see it on discuss.online

This is because that server defederated from lemmygrad.ml see https://discuss.online/instances for a list of instances that discuss.online blocks. This also means that op cannot read this thread.

It also works for me. On macos and linux /usr/bin/env python3 -c "print(chr(ord('🚗') ^ 0x20))" gives you 🚷

An excellent contrapoints video explores this topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPhrTOg1RUk

To be fair, the food butternut squash is doing fine even though it contains the phrase “nut squash”

I used to live in Massachusetts, and it’s pretty cool to not have the economic and political drain of conservative rural areas.

Fuck cars

Vehicles ought to take their power from wires or rails while in motion

Awesome! Looking forward to more American cities joining

Inheritance is clearly societal ill, and even on a personal level, depending on inheritance might cause family troubles

I guess before mas production of cars, bicycles were the aggressively marketed luxury consumerist product.

If enough states decide to give their votes to the winner of the popular vote, this would solve the problems of the electoral college. A fair number of states already agreed to the popular vote compact. We just need the big Republican states to agree. Which probably will happen after a Democrat wins the electoral college after loosing the popular vote.

The way politics are trending, with more white Democrats and non-white Republicans, the electoral college advantage for Republicans is fading.

I wouldnt bike on that painted bike lane across a right turn slip lane designed to make cars slow down as little as possible coming off the freeway

There should be a protected bike lane in the median with a dedicated signal where the diamonds cross

Bike

That’s a good point to illustrate the importance of banning cars for personal transportation; all of the traffic is making your partner’s job slower and more stressful

Yeah, but I believe she did this because the domocrat leaders in the House and the Senate (who both happen to be from Brooklyn) thought the unpopularity of congestion pricing amoung swing voters may cause Republicans to win the house of representatives.

Now they aren’t going to vote for another 2 years, when congestion pricing will probably be popular, so it’s safe to get it done now

It’s common to call products dumb when they have the marketing strategy of tricking gullible people into thinking they need it.

This fun city nerd video is somewhat relevant: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsbkvsyN-O8 Cities where the lowest percent of median income goes to median (housing + transportation). The winners were Seattle and San Francisco. This suggests that salaries may be able to compensate for increased housing costs. Of course, a longitudinal study would be necessary to answer this question.
