You can be part of the solution by advocating for protected bike lanes, sidewalks, lane reduction, and general traffic calming measures. And voting against anybody that complains about the “war on cars” or uses the word woke as an insult (because they are always carbrains too).
See the Australian conservative opposition (Liberal and National parties), for example. They are bought and paid for by the fossil fuel industry, have no actual plan to roll out nuclear, but are using it as a delay tactic. See also how conservative parties are attacking renewables but not directly talking about coal (for the most part) because they know that the general public won’t accept it anymore. Conveniently, attacking renewables and talking up nuclear is an easy way to keep coal around for a little longer.
Your points are more historical, I’m talking more about the last few years or so, the period where most conservatives now won’t admit to being climate change deniers, but incidentally have positions that worsen climate change.
In Albuquerque NM, they not only built world class BRT infrastructure – they leveraged it to transform old Route 66 into a safer, more people-friendly corridor. Albuquerque Rapid Transit, or ART, is already a big ridership success, but there’s so much more potential. So today we’re taking a tour of the US’s only...
And the reason for this is that the “light truck” classification has weaker emissions standards, so they can cheap out on efficiency of the engine which means higher profit margins (and more harmful pollution for us to enjoy inhaling).
Yes. “ZLUDA lets you run unmodified CUDA applications with near-native performance on Intel AMD GPUs”.
Companies developing CUDA applications don’t need to implement it because it’s a drop in replacement. A bit like how Wine doesn’t require developer support (or support from Microsoft) for Windows games to work.
If you mean companies using CUDA applications through ZLUDA, perhaps, although I’d be surprised if that’s legally enforceable in most countries.
Changes to the mutual obligations scheme, contained in the federal budget, will ease the rules that govern when a person’s payments are suspended, meaning job seekers will have a five-day grace period – rather than 48 hours – to account for missing employment services appointments and other activities before their income...
Some tweaks to make the system slightly less shitty, but ideally they’d get rid of this punitive system altogether, particularly since it only benefits the parasitic private job providers.
Dumb question, but new to cycling, and the person at the store adjusted the height of the back via the tab. The Trek manual and video are absolute garbage, so we can’t figure out how. Can anyone help?
Make sure as well that you bought the right size helmet for your head size. Ideally, it should stay in place even without the adjustment dial at the back (that just makes it even more secure). And you should have around a two finger distance between your eyebrows, and the bottom of the helmet.
I get the impression that Netherlands public transport is above average but not exceptional in Europe (although it depends on which countries you are comparing to). But their bike infrastructure is world leading.

I think for the short to medium term energy prices will continue to increase so this is where the rebates will help. The investments to renewable energy are happening but without a war time level effort it’s going to take some time for that to translate to lower prices. And you could argue that people that don’t qualify for welfare but are on low incomes should receive it too, and that it’s simpler and perhaps even less costly to just give it to everyone (due to administration costs from targeting).
On the other hand, I could see all of this bill support disencouraging people from getting rooftop solar and home batteries, and it might have a small effect on inflation (particularly from the wealthy who are already feeling pretty willing to spend). Although it might push some people to electrify more of their home if prices are low, so that could counter that somewhat.
I don’t think enough people are on rent assistance to meaningfully impact inflation (and the maximum amount is quite low even with the increase). I see it more as a politically expedient way to give a small increase to the welfare payments, since it’s an easier sell to people who hate “dole bludgers” (even if the effect is mostly the same) and most people on the payments are renters.
