“Don’t toy with me Nagatoro” and “Uzaki chan wants to hang out” are the 2 middle ones

But that’s the thing about induced demand. Of course widening a road temporarily improves traffic. But only temporary. That temporary improved leads to more people deciding to drive a car when they didn’t in the past or even having different moving options in mind now which they didn’t because if traffic. In the end traffic ends up the same if not worse than before. That’s not something the Internet came up with. It’s been studied and researched for years. It works on the simple principle of: If you make something more convenient to use, more people will use it. Cars just don’t scale. They can’t do mass transport and aren’t meant for that. You need to make a city walkable and have a proper public transport system otherwise you will only ever lose even more money on car infrastructure while continuing to worsen traffic, heating up the city because of the sealed surfaces, making the city less desirable to actually exist in and worsening it’s economy. Build the city properly and people will actually choose a different option. No matter the climate in that city. Especially because heat is only worse with massive amounts of car infrastructure because they usually result in less green spaces and trees which provide shade and a cooling effect in the city.

Induced demand actually means that more people drive now because the people that didn’t drive in the past / lived somewhere else because it was less convenient because of the traffic to commute by car or live somewhere else where they would have needed a car now decide to commute by car / actually move (yeah that also something we have observed) because the widening temporarily improved traffic. In the end traffic ends up the same if not worse. Induced demand isn’t something the Internet has come up with. It’s actually a real thing that has been studied and researched. We know it exists. It functions on the basic principle of: If you improve something and make it more convenient to use that something, more people will actually use it.

That’s the thing: Technically yes. It temporarily improves traffic. But only temporarily. IDK about you but spending billions of dollars to only temporarily improve traffic and then it ending up the same or even worse than before doesn’t sound like a good investment to me.

That’s the whole thing about induced demand though: People want to get somewhere and believe it or not, not everyone does so by car. But if you decide to add more lanes it temporarily improves traffic leading to those people that didn’t take a car in the past or lived somewhere else because they knew traffic would be horrible if they moved, to actually commute by car now / go forth with their plan to move, increasing the amount of traffic again until it’s as bad if not even worse than before. Cars don’t scale. Cars aren’t for mass transport and shouldnt be used for that. A city with a highway like in the picture really needs a transit system/a better one and fever lanes

When nuclear was cut more gas was used

Thats just wrong. Fossil fuels actually went down while renewables went up.

Im sick and tired of the right wing imports “argument” from people that clearly have no idea how the European electricity market works. Germany has the capacity to easily produce all of its electricity but its way wiser to not do that and import from other countries since that can be cheaper than ramping up power plants. In the past Germany used to keep running coal plants even for export but CO2 emission certificates keep getting more expensive while other European countries have been expanding their renewable power plants resulting in cheaper electricity which results in Germany exporting less and importing some of that cheap electricity now because 1. exporting electricity produced via coal is less profitable now and 2. importing a certain amount is getting cheaper than powering up a reactor yourself. 2023 most of those imports (~50%) were from renewables btw. 24% of imports were from nuclear which is 3.6% of the whole electricity production and even that keeps decreasing.

Afaik, no. Japanese either uses 音読み onyomi = Chinese reading (literally “sound reading”, 音 = sound, 読み = reading) and 訓読み Kunyomi = Japanese reading (訓 has multiple kanji meanings. I learned it as “instruction”. Sites list the meanings as 訓 = instruction, Japanese character reading, explanation, read) for words that have kanji (Chinese characters). The original Chinese characters don’t have a “Japanese reading” afaik. They are Chinese after all.

Tja, wenn ich nur meinen alten Instagram Account löschen könnte. Aber ne irgendwann wurde der mal gehackt (ka wann, hab den eigentlich kam benutzt) und nun lässt mich Instagram nicht mal mehr zum Löschen meines eigenen Accounts zurück. Cool

Stell dir vor, habe ich schon längst gemacht. Zum Teil bezieht sich sogar ein Teil meinest Kommentars darauf.

Mal abgesehen davon, dass du gar nicht wissen kannst ob er “Unsummen” kostet oder nicht, vor allem aufgrund der wenigen zustandekommenden Verfahren (wofür man ihn nur kritisieren könnte, wenn es wegem ihm ist. Also wenn er wissentlich zu ungenügende/schlechte Anzeigen stellt). Statt sich bei den Leuten zu beschweren, die sich nicht an Regeln halten und diese brechen, beschwerst du dich bei der Person, die diese Regelbrüche zur Anzeige stellt?

Ehrlich gesagt schade, dass er die Arbeit macht, die das Ordnungsamt eigentlich machen sollte. Wir haben es in der Gesellschaft einfach viel zu normalisiert, dass Autofahrer einfach alles machen dürfen. Jeden Tag sehe ich Falschparker die es absolut nicht interessiert, dass man hier in einem Verkehrsberuhigten Bereich nicht einfach sein Auto auf der Straße abstellen darf. Aber für den 10m weiter liegenden Parkplatz war es diesen Leuten einfach zu weit. Dann müssten sie ja insgesamt 20m laufen, das geht ja gar nicht.

Auch auf nem Bürgersteig parken sehe ich oft genug obwohl viele Straßen hier breit genug sind und es erlauben dort zu parken. Ne, muss immernoch entweder komplett oder mit einer Seite auf dem Bürgersteig geparkt werden. Darf ja nicht sein, dass dieser ganz bleibt

Als Student in Hessen gibt es für mich nur 2 Tarifzonen: Hessen aka da komm ich hin und nicht-Hessen aka da komm ich nicht hin. Meiner Meinung nach sollte jedes Schüler under Studententicket in allen Bundesländern mindestens für das ganze Bundesland gelten. Es gibt einem einfach viel mehr Freiheit

French people are busy hating on themselves. I’ve heard about French people hating on people from Paris so since Ive ment French people during my exchange/foreign semester I tried asking them if they really hate people from Paris and they confirmed it for me. All non Paris French people hate on Paris French people lol
