Im assuming you’ve looped in @chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca?

Former Port Alberni city council, fediverse advocate

Hey cottage cheese on toast is great, that’s my breakfast most days. With pepper and nutritional yeast usually.

Yeah, that’s about what the Broadway tunnel is going to cost for the Skytrain extension in Vancouver.

Edit: Though of course an urban tunnel cut down an extremely busy street is worst-case scenario. That money would probably buy you a lot more rail elsewhere.

The Broadway corridor has possibly the busiest transit line in North America and the per-passenger cost will be quite low, when it’s finished.

0, -7, -14, -22… dangit

I’d expect a sudden inflation, with suddenly expanded after tax income chasing the same or reduced goods due to less imports.

Then SpaceX is forced to adhere to political considerations and budget priorities. NASA oversight and intensely risk averse culture would not have allowed spacex to build a rocket factory, or risk throwing away prototypes for rapid iteration.

Yeah,and this one shows a lot of promise since it’s passive. It doesn’t solve the storage problem which is a shame, but combined with something like enhanced weathering, maybe.

Eventually we’ll reach diminishing returns on co2 emissions and start needing to remove it actively. This research will come in handy then.

Not even mad! Impressed.

Dang that is a lot of trackers

I feel like the Americans might frown on Canadians attempting to vote in their elections or assassinating their political leaders.

Yeah, chicken and egg. Unfortunate twitter has now locked down feeds so you have to be logged in, so also fuck them on that point.

It’s a tradeoff. I am so disgusted by twitter that I chose to give that up and leave.

This is a baffling comment. There are tons of people on mastodon, more than I could ever hope to keep up with. I have a couple hundred accounts on follow and never manage to keep up. Honestly it could use some sorting.

Boom de yada, boom de yada, boom de yada, boom de yada.

I’d bet transporters would need constant monitoring and maintenance. They screw up often enough. Not sure I’d ever step into one of those deathtraps, even if you ignore the whole inherent murder problem.

Austria, you listening? Time to get the team back together, I think.

Photosynthesis only uses a couple frequencies. Using solar to generate electricity and feed that into target LEDs can be significantly more efficient.

Not only misgendering and not knowing anything, but for me the cherry was the fact that the only thing TFG could think to say about generic_woman was … that she was hot. What a stupid go-to. Not smart, savvy, interesting… no, she is obviously hot. That is the best compliment.

Unfuck that guy.

Probably thinking of Nikki Minaj or something.

I don’t think that is necessarily out of the running yet. OS development is expensive and low profit. Commodification may be inevitable. Control of the shell and GUI, where they can push advertisements and shovelware and telemetry on you, that is profitable.

So in 20 years, 50? I predict proprietary OSes will die out eventually, balance of probability.
