That’s very true. But overhead power and phone lines are the norm in American cities, most of which are not seismically active

Yes but i think the issue here are all the overhead power lines to residential houses. Those have always looked odd to me, as I grew up in London where they bury that stuff

I think that before I said something like this I would try to figure out some basic things like (1) what the DNC is; (2) how much money the DNC has (not much!); and (3) how much it costs to run a food bank

That isn’t an answer as to why the power that runs to houses in cities is also overhead.

London is very dense and manages not to use above-ground power lines. Paris too. Berlin also. Even my bit of Washington DC has worked out how to bury them.

I just want every person to consider this in its distilled form.

President Trump said that he is raising tariffs on Canadian imports, citing a TV ad in the U.S. that features President Reagan criticizing tariffs. https://wapo.st/431CadI

If you read any of the modern day millennial reactionary centrists(Douthaut, Singal, Friedersdorf, Barro, Yglesias) pre 2015 their writing clearly reflected a view that sexism and racism were wrong and people who espoused those views should be shunned.

Almost certainly. Sorry!

No, because the induction burner makes the entire base of the kettle become the element. It has a larger surface area than the coil in an electric kettle so should be able to heat more water.

I grew up in the UK with electric kettles before moving here and yes, my kettle on an induction top is faster than any other way I’ve boiled water in the past 23 years.

Yeah it should have been given to Lewis.

It will be embarrassing if Bearman gets a podium in the Ferrari-engined Haas before Lewis gets his first podium at Ferrari.

That’s a lot more the kind of car I’d expect a plate that that to be fitted to.

Another study confirming what many have suspected: turbulence is getting worse and it’s because of climate change.

Prof Paul Williams @profpaul.bsky.social · 12d

Our new study finds that the upper atmosphere is becoming more sheared and less stratified because of climate change. Both these changes are making the air less stable and more conducive to turbulence.

Actively disliked Halloween as a holiday until I became an American citizen a few years ago. Now I’ve decided I want to decorate the house next year after discovering they make inflatable tentacles.

I’m less surprised that the Virginia DMV allowed someone to get a plate that reads AHEGAO1 than I am that the person responsible put it on a Dodge Charger.

Pretty great photo of the arboretum, too.

This photo is sending my pedant self because that’s the arboretum and afaik Trump hasn’t gotten around to defiling it yet. (I’m sure it will happen though. Go visit it before it’s too late.)

Please go look at how much those Chinese EVs actually cost when they are sold in the EU or Mexico. You are not getting a $10k EV, that’s not happening.

lmfao a VP of the NYC *transportation workers union* is telling people to vote against Zohran because he’s too tough on car owners

Tramell Thompson • @progress... 23h • Mamdani wants to make you pay MORE to own your car.
Not because you did anything wrong — just because your car exists.
He's not taxing billionaires.
He's taxing the people who drive their kids to school.
Remember this at the polls today until the ballots are counted!
If you Show more
NYCar Owners Must Watch!

$4.5 trillion dollar valuation and still willing to lube up and perform unspeakable acts for the most overrated scammer in modern history, as long as he uses his massive platform to push thoughtless GPU hoarding, you have to admire Jensen's work ethic here
