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.

grue@lemmy.worldto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Americans overestimate the size of minority groups and underestimate the size of most majority groups4·15 hours ago70% 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.
grue@lemmy.worldto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Americans overestimate the size of minority groups and underestimate the size of most majority groups2·16 hours agoI find myself wondering how these figures have changed over time. Did we actually get worse, or have we always been this fucking ignorant?

grue@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•French police are slashing boats but migrants are still determined to reach the UKEnglish13·19 hours agoI 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.
grue@lemmy.worldMto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•“It’s over”: David Suzuki says it’s too late to stop climate change now and the damage is already doneEnglish2·1 day agoThis is important, but unfortunately off-topic in this community. (As far as I can tell, the “most of the people who ‘did what they could’ just kept driving their cars” bit that’s presented as a quote isn’t actually in the linked article, and nothing else about it talks about cars, car dependency, or land use topics themselves – the closest it gets is mentioning fossil fuels.) I encourage folks to crosspost it far and wide to communities other than this one.

Here's a visual representation of how incredibly important tree cover is, especially in cities.English6·2 days agoNot fewer roads (It’s still important to have good street grid connectivity and small block sizes), but narrower roads and smaller parking lots.

grue@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•‘I worked so damn hard’: Biden laments changes in U.S. since he left office - National19·2 days agoI 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.

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.
grue@lemmy.worldMto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•The President of the United States posted this message on his account. He wants the Vietnamese to buy SUVsEnglish1·2 days agoI 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.
grue@lemmy.worldto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Can we afford to be afraid of nuclear power?3·2 days agoAnd 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!
grue@lemmy.worldto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Can we afford to be afraid of nuclear power?7·2 days agoThe 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.
