Reddit has always had changes that made people want to leave. Removing CSS was the first that comes to mind. Now that lemmy exists it could be seen as a new platform to jump to every time reddit does something dumb or anti user. I have high hopes for lemmy

A lot of this just feels like CEO talk. Obviously they do not want to back down but if enough big subs stay off then they might have to change course. I'm worried about the people who are addicted to reddit.

Honestly, for growing places, or places with bad public transit, diesel busses are the way to go. They are the cheapest and require almost no new infrastructure so it can offset car emissions quicker than the other options. Established bus routes that are popular should be converted to tram lines or BRT.

I think many of them have a crippling addiction to reddit. Might be scary to think It could go away indefinitely. Not saying they are justified. Most angry/dumb comments on the internet are from 14 year olds, or people who desperately need to touch grass

Slippery slope aside, I think reducing unnecessary consumerism would be beneficial for our most vuneral populations. There would be a lower barrier of entry into the economy and more resources would be available at a lower cost for people who cannot afford them

It would be so wonderful if this is the last reddit hug of death

You may live in a place that is the result of building car dependent infrastructure. To achieve a "bike city" op is describing, it would take decades, if not a century in your area for it to make sense to just bike everywhere. It takes time.

Stock price is not inherently tied to profit. That is why p/e ratio exists. Also different industries can have different p/e ratios. Not even this holds though. Tesla's p/e is OOM more than Toyota, but Toyota has higher profits and sells more cars.

His dad is on the other team so they are not allowed to like him. Very Romeo and Juliet.

Sync is pretty good. It is intuitive and customizable

Glad to see this community stay strong. Anti-exploitation is in our blood

So let's build more urban heat islands and parking lots. Exactly what a +40 C environment needs. Biking might be unpleasant in 40 C weather, and the cyclist might get a bit sweaty, but all of the positives are true. And cars are just going to make the planet hotter.

This person has never heard of tavern style.

Yeah, basically sums it up. I think the reactions to bud light. Are a little silly. Everyone should support their local microbreweries instead. They have good beers and the money stays with small business owners in the community.

It is tart. Pineapple up front and lime aftertaste. The abv is around 5% so it is not too boozy. I'd say it's pretty crushable

As a disabled person, I am lucky to ride my bike. I know other disabled people who can't. But I know plenty of disabled people who can't drive too. When people advocate for human centric cities instead of car centric cities, disabled people benefit the human centricity. Less cars on the road makes it convenient for other disabled people to get around in their cars. Also bike lanes are wheelchair accessible.

Chicago has a long history of segregation in the city. It's worse than a lot of cities in the US. POC are leaving the city in droves because the city hasn't well addressed the issues of the past. While I think wording it for pedestrian safety makes a lot of sense, this also makes sense in the context of Chicago

Hi, aerospace engineer here. As far as benefits go it depends.

If we assume the tube is constant volume and constant temperature. The ideal gas law says that in this case, the pressure would change proportionally with density. So if you lower the pressure by 50% the density should lower by about 50%.

Drag force is also proportional to density. So a 50% decrease in density will result in a 50% decrease in drag. This is true for subsonic speeds. The speed of sound is 343 m/s or 770 mph.

Drag also has a square relationship with velocity. So drag gets extremely high when there is an increase in velocity.

If we take the speed of the shinkansen(90 m/s or 200mph) as a baseline and lower the pressure by half. The new speed the Hyperloop would be able to travel with the new speed is 127m/s or 284 mph. That is faster 40% for the same amount the trains will have to work, but to build all of that infrastructure, spend all the money creating a lower pressure environment and maintain that pressure for thousands of miles is just not worth it. The vacuum tube is just not practical to make.

Edit: If you maintain a reduced pressure and increase speeds about 30% of the speed of sound, the subsonic equations I used start to be less accurate. But in that case drag increases dramatically in transonic and supersonic regimes.

What about the people who can't even afford a car they are even worse off? Society should not waver on its social services, or sociietal norms to only meet the needs of unhoused people with cars. Many managers won't hire housed people who don't have a car, or even share a car with a spouse. Societally mandated car ownership just makes everyone more poor and hurts those who cannot afford a car.

I bike to work when I go into the office, it's about an 8 mile ride. I go at a speed where I'm not sweating. I'm not a pro athlete or anything either
