What’s wrong with it?

Why not bother them?

Browsing without login still gives you an algorithm, but one for the lowest common denominator. I’d suggest using the subscription feed

In us states with no tipped minimum wage (such as Oregon), we still tip 20%

Cars are faster, cover long distances which are just infeasible for bikes, are more comfortable, can be used in bad weather, and are needed for people with disabilities.

In many cases the long distances were created by cars. Cities worked fine before cars. But cars demand so much space that cities became spread out.

A solution to this problem is to repopulate city centers around the country by replacing parking lots with mixed use buildings.

In the US, we weigh ourselves in pounds. But nutritional information about food is in grams.

Imo, the fact that the numerator and denominator units are incompatible isn’t a big deal since the message “eat .08% percent of your body weight in protein each day” is not the intuitive way to think about how much to eat. It’s much easier to use a unit in the numerator that is common measuring nutrition and a unit in the denominator that is common for measuring body weight.

In lots of cities vacancy rates are too low making it hard to find housing

The electric interurban railways in America talks about the history of electric passenger trains that connected American cities particularly in the Midwest. Lots of fun maps of the networks and they describe how all the companies failed.

Thought it was written with a 1960s carbrain perspective, the information is interesting

I typically use Wolfram alpha for more complicated date math, and it answers a slightly modified version of this question correctly: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=what+day+is+the+11th

A history of rock music in 500 songs is very good

Ive used pythorhead which seems to be more actively maintained

It also works for me. On macos and linux /usr/bin/env python3 -c "print(chr(ord('🚗') ^ 0x20))" gives you 🚷

An excellent contrapoints video explores this topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPhrTOg1RUk

To be fair, the food butternut squash is doing fine even though it contains the phrase “nut squash”

I used to live in Massachusetts, and it’s pretty cool to not have the economic and political drain of conservative rural areas.

Imo the real story is Eugene decided to expand its UGB 8 years ago. Maybe that was a mistake, I’m generally not a fan of building things at the edge of town. But on the other hand, the airport is already there, and it would be nice to have transit to the airport. Building more things next to the airport can help make that happen

Awesome! Looking forward to more American cities joining

Inheritance is clearly societal ill, and even on a personal level, depending on inheritance might cause family troubles

I guess before mas production of cars, bicycles were the aggressively marketed luxury consumerist product.

If enough states decide to give their votes to the winner of the popular vote, this would solve the problems of the electoral college. A fair number of states already agreed to the popular vote compact. We just need the big Republican states to agree. Which probably will happen after a Democrat wins the electoral college after loosing the popular vote.

The way politics are trending, with more white Democrats and non-white Republicans, the electoral college advantage for Republicans is fading.
