Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•A time machine that allows you to travel as a ghost would be the best time machine.
6·3 years agoNot quite, the true invariant quantity is the magnitude of the spacetime 4 vector, which depends on rest mass.

11·3 years agoIt actually goes further than that. In spacetime you’re always going the same speed, the more in space, less in time.
At least from the special relativity perspective.

[Dormant] Electric Vehicles (Moved to !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net)@lemmy.world•[Question] Do charging stations generally accept credit/debit cards?
6·3 years agoI’ve only rented an ev, but only about half the time they have successfully taken a cc. Either they were broken, or it was just missing.
A lot of them have apps, which is very annoying as a renter, but if you own the car it should be less of an issue.
Afaik you don’t actually need to purchase a subscription to use them.

Food@slrpnk.net•19 herbs, spices, sweeteners, and acids that make your food last longer
10·3 years agoAdding sugar in low amounts to food will make it spoil faster. Sugar is only a preservative at high sugar concentrations to prevent bacterial growth.
Notably missing from this lists are acids: lemon juice, vinegar, citric acid which will lower ph and slow bacterial growth.

37·3 years agoIt really does read like an ad, which is amusingly ironic since linux mint is free.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•Does taking my glasses off to 'let my eyes rest' actually have any meaningful effect? Or am I just making my eyes work harder?
2·3 years agoI think it depends, farsighted? Probably not.
Nearsighted looking at things hopelessly out of focus and not trying to look, perhaps.
I’m very nearsighted amd taking my glasses seems to make them relax, since nothing will be close enough to make them focus.
Somebody that’s farsighted might strain their eyes to focus without their glasses.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How long will food be safe to eat if frozen immediately after cooking it?
422·3 years agoThey will be safe to eat indefinitely, but may not be palatable, depending on how it’s stored.

Solarpunk Urbanism@slrpnk.net•*Permanently Deleted*English
4·3 years agoThose lots are probably a quarter the size of the lot I’m on, in a affluent suburban house. Maybe even smaller
Its true that it’s not that dense though.
It’s also pretty likely that there are more residents per house than a typical affluent neighborhood.

5·3 years agoA lot of strong towns framing uses “financial productivity” defined as tax revenue per unit area, usually acre. Poor neighborhood’s houses may be cheap, but are packed much more densely, leading to higher revenue per unit area. less in taxes per lot, but also lower maintenance costs per lot.

Technology@lemmy.world•Cursed 32 Gig NVMe drive?English
16·3 years agoSounds like intels optane drives
I personally disagree, Bard feels very uninspired, and copilot i associate too mich with flying, and also sounds more competent than it is.
ChatGPT is probably not the best name, but at least it’s unique.

Videos@lemmy.world•What If The United States Built A Transcontinental High Speed Rail Line? | Geography By Geoff (11:41)
1·3 years agoThe cost to benefit looks way better if you think long term. Especially with climate change on the horizon to compete with planes but emission free.
One of the major problems for upgrading lines is straitening the route, and people fight the emniment domain way harder than they do for roads.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•[Video] We Might Be Able to Fix the SuburbsEnglish
11·3 years agoThat would ne ideal, but sadly city planning in the United states is too political.
We’ll never get anything done relying on city planning, so the only thing that seems possible is to improve the city organically, through markets.

2·3 years agoI don’t disagree, but where I live zoning is a large part of the problem
The zoning in my area perpetuates unwalkable, uncyclable, parking lot infested sprawl, because single family houses take up 84% of the available land.
I don’t want industry to move into neighborhoodseither , but I wouldn’t mind commercial or retail, currently prohibited.

3·3 years agoParking lots waste a lot of area that could be green space too.
But yes overdevelpment could be a problem , but is easily fixed by adding a green space rule to development. Like we have now for minimum parking and such.
Also high speed roads destroy a lot of green space too, with nothing in the median or a good chunk on either side, and huge empty areas in dead zones of interchanges.
Lets not think cuurent car use is good for green space.

2·3 years agoI dont mean throw out zoning entirely, but reducing the way they promote single family housing only. I live in a county with a million people and 84% of the land is single family zoning only, I want to throw that bit out.
Also if done right you dont need to zoning for all those things. Transit development will drive denser, walkable areas all on its own if its legal to build those kinds of areas. All the city has to do it manage transit as these areas develop.



Yes but that’s socialist.
And goes against my donors paycheck.
/s but many people in charge are willfully ignorant that society can be built in a way that doesn’t rely on cars.
