Cool
Injection of sulfuric acid into the atmosphere (and maybe other solutions) may, at some point, be a requirement for humans and the entire biodome to survive global warming. It won’t fix it, but it may delay it enough for us to apply other solutions.
But fucked up mtg of course wants humanity to die out so here we are
It’s amazing to see how many stupid people are out there
Really? Slippery slope argument?
This is a good thing, take it
We donthat because we found that wide roads make people drive faster unconsciously. If you design roads badly, people will speed, it will be dangerous. Design roads better and you save lives.
Putting up signs is what most countries have done for decades with exactly 0 results.
A slightly different post had road fatalities in a graph for the US, Canada, and Australia, showing insane levels of road deaths. A secondary graph was added showing the Netherlands at a fraction of those countries, even though the Netherlands is much more densly populated.
Wanna know why? Because the Netherlands does this all the time. Any time an intersection has a lot of accidents, they break up the damn thing and put in a completely newly designed one, and traffic deaths go down. A road has too much speeding? They’ll tear out that crap, put in a new road designed in such a way that people will automatically drive the correct speed et voila, speeding stops, Ross fatalities go down
That’s why you want to do that
This is something that has been proven over and over. Make the roads smaller and people automatically start driving slower.
Sure, thereay still be an eventually asshole but with the right design you could make a risky (for you) 80 in a 60 zone, but you can’t do 100 because you wouldn’t make it. That already helps curbing the worst but it’s also a psychological thing that makes most people slow down to the speed that you want. It’s much more effective than speeding cameras but it doesn’t make money
Then make those serious filters obligatory
So of the billions they made with that they have to pay a small fee.
Oh noes
Jail them!
Because its true?
Barely anything had been done these past decades and the result is that boat loads of people now believe conspiracy crap over the actual truth that climate change will milk us all
I fully expect that even less will be done in the next years so yeah, were screwed
Technically, we can. We probably will be able to do that a few hundred years from now and a few hundred years is nothing to something like the sun
Exactly, because we don’t have enough CO2 in the air, yet! Moar!
I get what you’re saying but I’m not seeing this as “electric cars suck” but more as “we found another place where we can improve”
This seems to me an issue that can be fixed with a few air filters which would require very infrequent replacements
Revolut has nice virtual cards, i use them all the time
How about instead of speed cameras you change your road designs? People won’t speed if they cannot speed safely.
Make your roads less wide. Add some curves, depending on required max speed, you make the curves larger or smaller. On lower speed roads, add obstacles to drive around.
There are many forms of traffic management that don’t require speeding cameras but then again, speeding cameras are for making the government money, not for traffic safety
Pretty much this for me too, only I already switched in 2002. It really wasn’t that hard leaving windows behind, even back then
Yeah, traffic in the Americas is a joke compared to the EU
Though I get the point, I would caution against calling “racism!” on AI not being able to detect molea or cancers well on people with darker skin; its harder to see darker areas on darker skins. That is physics, not racism
Nobody should have a net worth over, say, 10 million.
20 is okay ish, I suppose, but beyond that it’s just not fair or normal
You have 100 million dollars?
You didn’t get it through hard work, or the McDonald’s burger flipper who also cleans houses on the side would have been a billionaire by now
You didn’t get it by being intelligent or smart or scientists would all be rich
You did it through playing the system as it currently exists, and you were lucky
Nobody should have the right to have that much money. Not even half of that.
I think that oversimplifies the issue.
I have no problem with a millionaire that has a net worth of, say 3 million
I have a problem with someone having a net worth of 30 million
I have a huge problem with someone being worth 300 million
All are millionaires
And a EULA that makes VERY clear that, even though you bought this cat, and even though you paid for this cat, it’s not your cat. You’re not allowed to repair it, you’re not allowed to make it better or nicer or change it, and be aware that the price of your service contract, initially a small amount will steadily rise each year until it’s completely unaffordable, at which point if you decide to stop paying, your cat dies.
Man, we live in an awesome world today.
Also, do not buy this shit. Buy an actual dog and care for it FFS
Which country would this be?
