Me too. The thought of a shark never really crossed my mind, ever. But the jellyfish absolutely did.

Sometimes, it still does.

The problem with this is that you assume that wood is the best fuel source for steam. Very quickly you would realize that coal is far more energy dense than just about anything except nuclear fission. Planting trees is still a good idea though, but wood as fuel is utter shite on any large application.

Idk, they just don’t show up as links for me.

I thought for a bit that I was defederated from there, but kbin.social stuff usually loads fine and I don’t think you can defederate individual communities. So perhaps worthy of a Memmy bug report.

I’m using the Memmy app and those links don’t seem to work.

What’s the deal with it being declared evil then? It makes a lot of sense.

I’m not necessarily familiar with the exact definition of “macroeconomics” in this context, and I’m far too young to understand the cultural nuances you describe.

But I’m pretty sure it doesn’t take more that two brain cells to understand that the latter point is almost always the direct cause of the former.

Just keep building, and change zoning laws to make that easier.

Mercury arc valve, an old method of converting AC electricity to DC.

What else is it?

Loads of people want to live in cities today, and at least in the west, it’s become more and more difficult to build housing. Therefore demand far outstrips supply.

All of it leads back to zoning laws preventing more housing being built, and of the correct types. Most of that is caused by NIMBY types worried about the character of the neighborhood, and perhaps a bit of bigotry. It IS supply and demand, and short supply is caused by bad policymaking that nobody really benefits from.

OHLE is a conductor too. The issue with conductor rials is that they use DC rather than AC, which means that voltage is lower, meaning substations need to be more frequent. However, the conductor rail takes up no additional space in the loading gauge compared to OHLE, so for underground systems, or systems that need minimal clearance, conductor rails are better.

Modern OHLE standards are significantly less messy than they were 100 years ago. And if they really are still that bad, conductor rails work almost as well.

What sort of “infrastructure emissions”? That doesn’t really make sense to me, once you build the infrastructure it already exists, so it doesn’t just emit on its own. Also rail infrastructure being worse than road infrastructure doesn’t makes sense. Electric trains have extremely negligible emissions (I dare say practically none in normal operation). Electric road vehicles (of any type) still have tyre emissions (and make them worse because they are heavier). Electric trains are over all the best way forward dice intercity transport.

New Radicals made only one album, and it’s probably in my top 10 albums of all time.

Yeah it’s pretty great, at least for such a new product. Do you know of any official memmy discussion/support community? I have some feedback for the devs (mostly accessibility stuff).

Can I just say, that is a great username.
