I’m going to have to look at that, that seems to be the closest to what I’m looking for. Thanks.

I need a map for that.

I don’t have one yet.

I want something more zoomed out and cleaner.

Build infrastructure to make Europe more heat tolerant.

A lot of what Americans do to deal with the heat, like air conditioning and ice water, need to get adopted in Europe. As for the concern of the energy needed to power air conditioners, most demand generally follows peak solar production. Also, if you install heat pumps instead of normal air conditioners, it will help lower carbon requirements for heating.

Most countries can, especially if you aren’t a citizen of that country.

There are some communities that are made which aren’t made for beginners. They are made for in depth fans who want to have conversations deeper than helping new people getting into whatever. Moreso, if they haven’t hit an Eternal September event, then new people have to adapt to the old culture rather than the other way around.

I imagine that Linux is esoteric enough and picks various platforms which keeps an Eternal September from happening. Because of that, they aren’t going to bend to new users like other online communities are forced to.

Yeah. How else are you supposed to play beer pong?

Open Inside

In the USA, it was 21 until the 1970’s. It got changed as people pointed out that you could be drafted and forced to die for your country at that age, but you couldn’t help choose the people to make that decision. Given than 18 is the age when you legally become a legal adult, it was decided that 18 made a good age to gain the right to vote.

A major argument I’ve heard around it becoming younger is compulsory education. There is a fear, likely unjustified, that high school teachers would get a lot of control over part of the voting block since they would be able to tell students how to vote.

I’ve never had this happen to me.

Yeah the only difference here is that someone being gay won’t cause that reaction.

It is hard to not have a laugh track in front of a live studio audience.

There are even ones that were popular back then which fell into a memory hole, like the 90’s Brady Bunch reimagining.

Actually, it depends on the state/city. There is no federal sales tax; all sales taxes are determined at the state and municipal level and are only charged at the final point of sale. Some states or cities allow for limited versions of what you’re talking about; Washington State rebates sales taxes for Oregon residents.

However, why isn’t this typical across all states? It turns out that taxes tourists is generally more popular than taxing residents. This is especially true if the tax is enacted by referendum. For instance, a lot of stadiums are publicly funded via hotel room and rental car taxes.

They were always stupid. They are just more able to write out their stupidity.

I like this video from a London historian who goes through what common people knew before compulsory education.

It isn’t considered to be in the public interest to make medical confidentiality the equivalent of legal confidentiality.

Until recently, the major cost to growth is getting new customers, not retaining existing ones. Unless there was a mass exodus of fans if a streaming service cancelled a show, streamers are more likely to use the money to make a new show which will attract a new audience than continue an existing series that won’t lead to growth.

I don’t think they the whole Internet has been abandoned yet, but bots keep growing as a percentage of traffic for various reasons. There is also a vested interest in more people to have bots than not.

Snapchat isn’t owned by Meta?
