Denser grain per μm, nice.
I'd leave, because I'd literally be danger of jail at least twice a day. Straight to jail.
Hmm, I forgot about this.
Seems we're heading that way and it's not regular people's fault
I know you two are sorta playing off each other, but I think most of us agree that no, it wouldn't make hurting innocent people ok.
My ex would wear bras even though it seemed like she didn't have to.
Her warehouse work attire was loose black shirts with band art on them, so I thought it would camouflage any nipple silhouette.. 🤷 still a mystery to me, but it seemed she was worried about the gaze of others.
I love this funky lore. Thank goodness for Lemmy, I'd have never found your work otherwise.
The "forgetting the money" is one of the parts we city people grumble quite a bit about amongst ourselves whenever the upstate politicos play games with our funding needs.
Look, the goal of govt is supposed to be benefit as many as possible, though for some that seems to also mean ignore the few, which I strongly disagree with.
If we build an HSR system within the city e.g. by replacing metro-north tracks, city people immediately benefit.. but then the system can expand from there out to Schenectady, Albany buffalo etc. There's no reason we can't build your idea in a sensible, phased manner. We could go backwards too, start in buffalo and build south since the metro-north system is already fully functional.
I no longer live in NYC, but the years working for the MTA showed me a lot of the difficult, non-engineering problems to balance. Maybe there are ways to avoid the human problems associated with any large engineering project, but I don't yet know if any such shortcuts exist or ever existed.
For the record, we in NYC have unique needs that are sometimes time sensitive, see funding for tunnel doors after Sandy as an example. There was no intention to override or co-opt funds meant for people outside the metro area, we all live the beauty of the Hudson valley and so forth.
That need for expedience generates ill will nonetheless, I forgot how many politicos from the state area would purposely slow down city requests or legislation unless a deal was attached.
Shouldn't be a big change, the transmission system is the same no matter the prime mover.
When fires melted power lines near where I used to live in soCal, SCE would have trucks roll in, dig in new power poles and run the cable. Power restored within about a week, so long as they had stock on transformers.
The grid panels and wind farms are centralized so won't affect reliability. The house mounted panels will (if your house didn't catch fire) provide enough energy to run your fridge and house lights.
That's my initial take as well. Legalize reducing costs for the insurance corps yet further..
I'm an older fella who supported BSD systems before transitioning careers, the damn fact that you can't just read a log file by default was enough to get my hairs up. I like using other simple tools to handle parsing for important info or events as well.
I still subscribe to the philosophy as you put it, a system is only as reliable as it's components.. the sum of simple tools worked way better than systemd ever has in my opinion.
