Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s 100% Clean Energy Bills Pass
  • The price of building solar and wind is going down everyday. Natural gas will only continue to increase in price as more and more public pressure mounts towards ending our use of fossil fuels. Coal is already not economically viable without government subsidies. Betting on the cost of fossil fuels staying low is a losing strategy.

    What MMOs are you all playing?
  • Seconding Project 1999. I have played on and off (mostly off) since near the beginning. I wish I had more time to play it. It takes so long to make decent progress that it’s just not for me these days. I’ve thought about rolling a cleric so that I could maybe/hopefully get groups quickly and maybe then in 10 years I’ll be max level

    Just Stop Oil smash glass on paintings at the National Gallery
  • I don’t believe that was the same group, but I’m fairly certain that protest just involved leaving a note on the windshield and using a lentil to deflate the tires. Their notes did touch in the environmental impact of SUVs, but from what I recall the notes focused on the negative impacts that SUVs have in cities. Such as the skyrocketing number of pedestrian deaths we are seeing.

    'Amtrak Joe' Biden is off to Delaware to give out $16 billion for passenger rail projects
  • Railroads are land intensive but somehow 27 lane highways aren’t? Also wait until you find out how expensive it is to maintain all of those highways…

    For software devs, which job to pick
  • It is possible to switch, but the more experience you have the less likely it will be. Switching teams internally can be easier if that is an option.

    Right turn on red? With pedestrian deaths rising, US cities are considering bans
  • I’m not sure that the National Motorists Association, and organization that thinks drunk driving laws are unfair to motorists and claims to be a “grassroots organization” but refuses to provide any membership statistics or funding sources is a reliable source on the topic of right on red laws.

    Right turn on red? With pedestrian deaths rising, US cities are considering bans
  • Aren’t roundabouts typically significantly larger than an equivalent intersection with traffic lights? If so I’m not sure that’s what we need in urban areas. We already give up so much public space to automobiles. There’s also the question of where does that additional space even come from? Do we bulldoze more homes? To me it seems real solution is to move away from personal vehicles in urban areas. Anything else is just trying to justify an inefficient and unsustainable lifestyle.

    Companies lower salaries in job postings as pay transparency laws take effect
  • For a 700k salary I would 100% take the risk. Don’t change your lifestyle after you get the job and just pocket the extra cash. If you get fired having Netflix on your resume should allow you to find a new position fast enough to come out on top of the deal provided that you are able to make it a few months at Netflix.

    If you are fortunate enough to have 3-6 months of expenses in an emergency fund then there is very little downside as long as you are able to maintain the correct headspace.

    All of this has just been distraction
  • I’m fairly certain this is showing an exponential trend in CO2 emissions, not a linear trend. The slope changes as a function of time. Linear isn’t really a good fit for the data.

    Funtastic 😅
  • I don’t game much, but with the few games I do occasionally play I’ve had really good success at getting them to run on Linux under proton. It’s way better than it was even a few years ago.

  • That’s valid, but if it’s a dump I would have a hard time describing it as an asset, at least in the financial sense. But I suppose it could be if you’re willing to put in the work to fix it up.
