Most of the adults did tell me to do better, but they also kept repeating that I had it better than they did. Which was partially true at the time depending on who said it, but they still messed things up and blame me for not fixing their mistakes.

And what does that story have to do with generational pressure?

Whether out in public or in private is better, depends on context.

Although it’s probably a bit beyond social media debate. When it comes down to “seeing a strangers body floating in the river” , “finding your sibling hanging in the next room” or “found at a kindergarten playground”.

We know, we learned the details about WW2. Our grandparents and great grandparents actually lived through that, and told us the stories.

All the adults told us it would be better for us than for them. While they fucked everything up and then blame us.

Air currents and long straight road surfaces heating up simultaneously as the sun moves.

Long straight roads in grids can cause the air to “stick” to the ground as wind moves overhead. And the sun hitting roofs and sides of buildings over shorter periods mean less “stored heat”.

Some of it can be alleviated by having trees along the sidewalks. Since they help disperse wind and creates shade for the concrete/asphalt that store heat a lot longer.

EDIT: If you have more “random” road layouts with trees, there’s less sun heating up the sidewalk and road. And the wind is more likely to be pushed around and prevent hot air from stagnating or circulating in an area.

Jokes aside, that’s actually beyond amazing for the future. They’re documenting photon to photon and photon to nucleus interaction from near-misses, that can eject a small number of neutrons and protons. And they create gold from lead on lead nucleus near misses for a split second.

Although I can already see the pop-science headlines about how they’ve discovered “Matter conversion” and they’ll be “printing gold”. And then buried at the bottom of the article there’s some line about how it would take two centuries or so to reach that point.

For anyone not reading the article: She was the co-founder and was putting together a collection of games they had made and needed the source code for the game Wasteland.

I asked for the source and was given a blank stare. I went to the COO’s office and he gave me a cardboard box that looked like it was run over by a truck and it had some of the source on floppies. I ended up contacting friends at Electronic Arts to get a copy of the source we sent them when Wasteland shipped.

After that she started keeping backups of everything she worked on.

Grid cities, specially when combined with tall buildings, also tend to create more pronounced microclimate issues and “heat islands”.

San Fransico has a varied terrain and enviroment that cause microclimates on is own, but the grid layout means the temperature can change as much as 9F/5C from one block to the next.

Yeah and we should be glad they’re so dumb: It has a nice little “in your area” feature where you can see all the ones who signed up near you(no need to give them location data, you can specify the area and check several to hide your real one).

They of course made it so magas could show support. But in reality it’s literally a perfect way to find local business to boycoytt that you might not otherwise know was supporting evil.

You posted a youtube short link on lemmy? Yeah, that’s not going to go over well.

There’s a lot of tech literate people here, and from my experience many of them dislike short-form video content with sound. Especially when its from Alphabet, Meta, etc.

They sabotaged themselves years ago by squashing popular votes with an algorithm, so a large amount of people don’t realize the size of the site.

You can go look at recent popular tweets and see 200k reactions, meanwhile the top posts on reddit show 10-30k votes, despite having 2-50 times as many behind the scenes.

Yeah, I was more referencing how cats basically showed up and were all “become more domestic, and we’ll move in and keep you safer”.

For reference, you can get from the center of town to the other side of the border in about an hour on a bike.

Cats as well.

If you store grain you get mice/rats, that’s true even today(don’t eat raw flour), which leads to cats.

Humans realized that fewer mice means more grain and left cats alone. But one theory is that families who let the cats hang around their home more had fewer instances of diseases carried by rodents, which further led humans to want cats to be around.

Some sort of hybrid system. On a large scale it’s almost impossible to go full communism, capitalism, etc. without the minor flaws compounding and causing issues.

Such a profoundly dense thing to post, it could have only been made up by an American. How can anyone have such compartmentilized view of history is truly beyond me, unless of course they are incredibly ignorant or some kind of Putin’s lapdog,

It’s mostly narcissism with some ignorance.

I used to hang out in alternative communities. And if you listen to people who promote full communism as a good way to run a society, you realize that their entire proposition hinges on there being no “evil” people. Their mind seems to operate on the idea that their society will be so perfect that there wont be any corrupt people who lie, steal, cheat and try to take advantage of others or if they are they will instantly and always be caught.

Same thing with anarchists. They love to talk all flowery and nice about their mostly anarchist commune with 10 people. And just dismiss the idea that it wouldn’t work with 10 million.

Yes…?

It was literally NEVER about the money being spent by the government. Anyone who actually believed that is by dictionary definition, dumb.

Yeah that’s how it goes.

Just earlier today I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying figure out an issue where the classic “debug print” didn’t give the correct value. And as is often the case, I had forgot to change print to the new test variable.
