I hung soo much on Get that azzhole?, a site with a huge collection of user-made cars for GTA1. It wasn't easy to find the URL back, but I got it through the equally retro-looking https://www.lnkworld.com/.
I just put rectangles on like 6 blocks and got about 26% street area, then figured many places had bigger blocks or narrower streets. The area is measured by extensions -> measure path.
I measured the area of the yellow area in Inkscape. It's 30% of the image. The streets are roughly another 20% (and many of those are just circling the parking lots).
So we could pack almost twice as much stuff into this image, and therefore reduce average travel times by ... 30%? Depends on how densification would happen.
We got from feudalism to capitalism. It's not inconceivable that socialism will be widespread in 100-200 years. And I predict that as a minimum time to fulfill the premise of the title.
Same. I tried really hard to learn it but gave up in frustration. 5ish years with plenty of computer use later I suddenly found myself typing without looking.
IIRC tax reasons made it very much smarter to buy a Tesla in Dec 2025 than in Jan 2026. Norway has had a drop in sales, but stuff like this skews the numbers.
Yes. I haven't cried in about 20 years. Tried my best at my dad's funeral. I don't have a story that brings sense into it, it's like I just grew out of emotions.
If the nutrients are not as available, that should point to processing for extracting proteins and such rather than eating the insects directly. Like they do with some fungi for creating meat replacements. I think lab-grown meat and protein-rich plants make more sense, but anything that can feed people with less land use is a step forward.
Someone wise said that technology wants to spread into every corner of our lives. AI is no different. I just wish we could skip all the hype and realize it's a useful tool for some things, and that's it. Just like my fridge doesn't need to have wifi.
It's a good thing to have statistics and understand the mechanisms that cause addiction. Better late then never.
