    I think also bans "coal-rolling" ... If that wasn't already illegal.

    It would be more likely to be critically hit by an SUV or pick-up, just saying.

    I'm guessing this is a "leopards ate my face" situation for a lot of people.

  • Levels of ambient air pollution according to mode of transport: a systematic review
  • swope swope Now 100%

    Interpretation
    Proximity to traffic and high air interchange increased the exposure to air pollution of commuters using motorised transport. Larger inhalation rates and commuting time increased inhaled dose among active commuters. Benefits of active commuting from physical activity are larger than the risk from an increased inhaled dose of fine particles.

    I've often wondered about the net effect. Interesting.

    I don't even know what the FAA counterpart for maritime is.

    The FAA has issued a final rule that will require most larger aircraft built after Jan. 1, 2028, to meet new efficiency standards designed to reduce their carbon emissions per passenger mile. The new rule will cover all subsonic jets with a maximum takeoff weight of more than 12,500 pounds and turboprops with an MTOW of 19,000 pounds.

    Twitter front-end Nitter dies as Musk wins war against third-party services
  • swope swope Now 100%

    Recently our county sheriff put out an Amber Alert (a forced alert on all mobile devices) but the obfuscated link resolved to Twitter.

    I wonder what portion of the public saw the Twitter login page and just closed the tab, never to see the details of the child abduction.

  • What's some common knowledge that you just found out recently?
  • swope swope Now 100%

    Maybe this more of a misheard lyrics thing, but for a long time I thought "noxious gas" had to do with nitrogen oxides (NOx), and then spread to other metaphorical applications like "noxious weeds" and so on.

  • Finland’s successful approach to ending homelessness catches eye of Quebec City
  • swope swope Now 100%

    I think homelessness and despair cause mental illness and substance abuse. If we can prevent "normal" people from losing their homes, I think they would be more stable and able to take care of themselves long term.

    Allowing homelessness is far more costly to everyone else than preventing it.

  • Palworld embroiled in AI and Pokémon ‘plagiarism’ controversy
  • swope swope Now 45%

    Setting aside the topic of generative AI, isn't it about time that Pokemon goes to the public domain?

    It's been a long time since I read Lawrence Lessig, but I think we would undo Disney's mods to copyright laws and allow more cultural remixing after a reasonable time. Like maybe 20 years instead of a century?

    It should surprise no bros that Southern California still wants to add one more lane to fix traffic. > > > After the last expansion project, traffic on I-405 only got worse.
