25% worse over what time period?

Eh, 41¢/each vs. 33¢/each isn’t that big a difference, and well in keeping with the different cost of living between the PNW and the South.

70% Christian, 3% Atheist, 1% Muslim, 2% Jewish… WTF are the other 24%? Don’t tell me there are that many Buddhist/Hindu/Shinto/etc. folks here! Something’s not adding up.

I find myself wondering how these figures have changed over time. Did we actually get worse, or have we always been this fucking ignorant?

Nominally “Christian” because they like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

I used to dream of a utopia like Star Trek.

Be careful what you wish for.

I am confused both about why immigrants would want to go to the UK in the first place instead of staying in France, and about why French police wouldn’t be perfectly happy to see them go and let the UK deal with them.

I hope Europe is scrambling to launch new satellites to pick up the slack. (For their own sake, not the US’, of course.)

Not fewer roads (It’s still important to have good street grid connectivity and small block sizes), but narrower roads and smaller parking lots.

Inflation makes investments rise too. It’s the people without them that are screwed by it.

I was so confused until I got to the edit.

It’s not even a very big house. It looks maybe 40’ or so wide and somewhat less deep, so I’m guessing it’s maybe 3000 sq. ft. total. I would almost hesitate to even bestow the status of ‘McMansion’ on it.

Nice try, Padmé.

I’m sure they are. They have to be, unless they’re steel inside instead (which is unlikely), because you can’t make real stacked-stone masonry that skinny and have it be stable.

And that’s my problem with it: it’s fraudulent. Not even in an intentional “flouting the rules to make a modernist point” kind of way either; just out of ignorant and lazy design.

I mean, I own an old SUV myself (a real one, that I got specifically for off-roading and backcountry camping). I’m just not so anti-social as to daily-drive it in the city.

And because of the implication also that nuclear reactors produce extreme waste of building materials (e.g. Greifswald, ran for 26 years, dismantling in operation since 35 years and projected to last till 2040 at least

Ah, yes, the good ol’ “force plants to close way before the end of their design lifetime due to anti-nuclear hysteria, and then use that truncated amortization as an excuse to dishonestly claim they were too expensive” argument. Works every time!

The general public is one thing, but that doesn’t excuse the positions of activist organizations like Greenpeace that should’ve been better-informed.

There are people who indiscriminately crosspost things between ADHD and autism communities as if they aren’t two different conditions.
