Fuck cars and up with cycling and bike infrastructure and all that but unless this study is more specific than the article states, it’s useless. And if it is more specific this article may be misleading.

It just gives a percentage of “in compliance with traffic laws” and doesn’t give a breakdown of what laws. Since most drivers speed at least a little quite often, and most cyclists are incapable of speeding anywhere near as much, what laws are the cyclists breaking to get them as low on compliance as drivers? If it’s stop signs and red lights, that is right in line with the stereotype of them being dangerous scofflaws the article is saying this study shows is incorrect.

That depends on what sort of conservative viewpoints you’re taking about. I see people expressing opinions that I would associate with what I think of as Eisenhower conservatives and they are met with civil discussions. It’s when people start in with the post-Nixon bigoted, poor hating, corporate/wealthy bootlicking, regressive “conservative” viewpoints that people are less likely to engage beyond calling them out because there is probably no point to anything else. One obvious exception to this is someone unknowingly stumbling into a post on the tankie triad and saying something with even a whiff of conservatism. That’s not going to go well. But it doesn’t take long to learn that.

Yeah, it’s so hilarious to want an engine that will continue to run after a complete electrical system failure at 10000ft.

Fuck 100LL though.

It started to get a little stale earlier but I think it really started to suck when Fiona left and they tried to make Debbie the new Fiona.

She bailed because she thought she was better than the show and was going to have a big movie career but she’s done fuck all since.

Because the pussies are just going after regular people. If they actually went into rough neighborhoods and started rounding up gang members, like they claimed they were going to, you might see some gunfire. But that’ll never happen because they’re weak and cowardly.

That dog pic is actually a little tame. I’ve seen some nightmare inducing pics of screwworm infections.

You joke, but there was some dude in Florida (I think) who was contracted to do this with fruit flies and he started dropping healthy ones to make sure the program never ended.

Source; I can’t be bothered to look it up, trust me bro.

The unexpected part is the increased surface salinity. Previously it was thought that the fresh water melt would stay on top of the denser, saltier deep water trapping some heat and salt below and allowing some refreezing slowing the overall melt, but still melting. They’re finding unexpected vertical mixing bringing up saltier water from the deep, causing more melting, causing more mixing; a feedback loop.

The article doesn’t really explain why this is happening, only what is happening. It does link to a paper but I’m still trying to parse it. I think I need something a little dumbed down from the paper in plain language but with a lot more info than the original article to understand it.

It follows the normal pattern where everytime we learn more about climate change we find out it’s even worse than we thought.

They made a movie about that guy. Don’t watch it, it’s awful. It was all a misunderstanding. The Jesus is actually a good dude.

I guess it’s true, money can’t buy taste.

Fun fact: Alec Baldwin’s character was invented for the movie to provide exposition. The filmmakers didn’t trust movie-going audiences to pick up the information from the three conversations that occur at the beginning of the play.
