They believe that the status quo is better than any alternatives. They have not been exposed to other ways of living and those that have lock themselves to basic tribalistic thinking.

Imagine trying to get a sports fan to see the benefits of being a fan of another sports team. Even if they aren’t personally playing and their team isn’t winning they maintain loyalty. Some even bet on their loser teams and lose money just because of loyalty.

It’s all about team loyalty/ tribalism

It would also mean being involved in the most lawsuits, unfortunately.

ENIAC was built in 1945. And Cray was building supercomputers in the 60s

The budget is for 1.5, make it work.

Because it’s art.

There is a lot of skill and artistic talent needed to create a facsimile of real life. Anyone can draw a tree, but a realistic tree takes some amount of artistic knowledge. The more realistic the more talent that the artist shows. Similarly, when the artist deviates from recreating real life it shows an artistic vision beyond reality.

We like art because it shows a different perspective from the minds eye of the artist. And when the artist can render that vision as something that looks real, even if it couldn’t really exist, it is impressive.

No matter whether it’s left leaning or right leaning it’s still an asshole.

But he must first travel half the distance to that line, leaving us where we started.

If someone released a donkey in East India this would be very plausible. Kangaroos on the other hand…

Air conditioning

But it can be contained and condensed for reused.

There are craters from volcanic activity in the northern part of the valley. There are dunes. It’s the hottest driest place in the US because of the Sierra Nevada rain shadow. The effect of rain in the valley is dramatic when it does rain.

CD-R, rewriting has a higher chance to corrupt. And if you like your music you won’t need to overwrite it

I’m more of the opinion that it should be a height/ weight thing. Or a performance based analysis e.g. you could make sprinter tiers for people within a few seconds of each other based on personal averages. I mean this sort of system already exists for making leagues and tiers right now, we just also split by sex.

Not just America. People who want power always seek it. I have yet to see a proposed system that could eliminate the ability to gain and abuse power.

Ok, so I’m supposed to move when they build this new transit?With what money?

Yes via the commerce that results in taxes. But the pint is that public transit does not get built unless you can convince law makers that it will be cheaper than any alternative to the government’s pocket.

I’m all for better public transit.

But for those of us who don’t live in a city, it’s not an option. I live about a five minute walk from my nearest neighbor, and a 20 minute drive from work. I’m not in a neighborhood or apartment. They could not feasibly build a rail system to service me and the millions of others who live like I do.

Busses are an option but then my commute would start hours earlier, and they would not pay for themselves where I live. Or I would be paying a very high fair.

Just build a rail system is not the solution.
