Hes not made of velour and goose-down. I'm sure hell be fine in a vance off.

Of course. Look at the "network state" concept that the alt right tech bros love.

Tiny nation states ruled by the elites, where laws and rights are set not by a wide ranging view of human rights, but by those in power. One of your only rights is the ability to leave. To where? Who knows, and surely nit with all your valuables going with you. No voting, not basic dignity, nothing else if the techo kings dont want to provide it. Corpo kings, contract as the only law.

The end state of the above and fascism is the same. A ruling class that sets the rules, and a citizenry that has to abide by them, or else.

Is it literal fascism? Who knows. Are you under the boot of a privileged class, at the full mercy of their whims just like monarchy or fascism? Yes indeed.

Looking at the trees brings most of the relief, so I expect even those are just as calming as long as you don't touch them and don't know what they are.

They mention his tariffs, but it's also a bigger issue that has to do with the laws of physics hitting economics.

Wired, wireless. A flared base is the actual key.

Dont worry. Most of those will burn down, leaving plenty of room for houses to be built to the new requirements.

Best case is enough houses get built to this standard and intermixed into those neighborhoods to give a type of "herd immunity" from fires moving house to house. Hell, even a good bulwark of these in a line facing the forest might do it.

Trees are also essential for insects, bird and animal life in cities. They are psychologically calming for people as well.

Damn straight. Even if you didn't before joining Lemmy, c/tenforward is so good you're going to start.

Holy fuck. Red truck, pale fuck, blue truck. Red, white and blue.

His profile pic is a flag.

Cant Kobayashi maru the trolley problem. There is no choice but the choices presented.

The lift here is that you setup the end users client. If they aren't local, buy one and ship it. Since it will be on your always on tailscale vpn, you can then interact with it remotely if needed.

Android tvs can be had for $35, Raspi 5 are around the same range, with apple tvs about $130. Have people pony up the cash and mail one of what they want out to them.

That may be too much to ask if you share to a lot of casual friends/family, but its been a successful answer for me.

Jellyfin takes more work, but can be a "simple" end user experience if you set it up for them.

Use a reverse proxy to get a letsenceypt cert for your jellyfin server. SWAG, Caddy, lots of options. Then setup a free tailscale account and add your jellyfin server to your tailnet. Install the jellyfin and tailscale apps on the user android tv/apple tv/computer, then enroll the devices in your tailnet.

They will have always on, ssl secured, vpn protected media sharing for free.

They sold to private equity a couple years back. The enshittification started that day.

D works well. Being dead puts you in a decent "no one to fool with" category.

Fucker cant even do a prat fall at this point.

There is no form factor of power generation that could match nuclear on something as "small" and dense as an aircraft carrier.

Solar is a no go due to just surface area and the challenges of salt water. The only consistent things left are petrol and nuclear, and of the two, nuclear is better in every way but cost.

It is wacky that "hot rock make steam. Steam makes turbine go" is how like 95% of all civilization exists, but man when we stumbled on a winner in the 1800s, we just went all in on it.

100% steam. Steam makes the electricity, locomotion, desalination and the plane catapults go on that class of carrier. The reactors and salt water make the various types of steam used in the various systems.

Limitless water is a neat hack when you couple it with limitless heat.

That carrier is using steam powered propellers. Luckily the steam is "pushed" by a couple of large nuclear reactors, so it's got plenty of juice.

Tourists have to buy day passes or a discovery pass in Washington. Day passes are $11.50/day. They are already in general being charged way more than people that go to the parks year round with the $35 annual pass. This is comparable, but actually higher, than what hawaii charges tourists.

Hawaii's parks are visited way more by tourists than Washingtons parks. You would have to make the tourist pass something ridiculous to cover the shortfall, which would price out tourists, meaning no income for the park, meaning parks destroyed by Washingtonians.

$35/yr is a reasonable resident cost. $11/day is a reasonable tourist cost. Seems like Washington has made reasonable choices for this that reflect the states needs.

I'd also prefer this to be rolled into an income tax, but Washington doesn't have one. The state only has a regressive sales taxes, one that has an outsized impact on our poorest citizens.

By making this a "fee for use," it at least minimizes the damage to the poor who can't access the parks at all.

Ha, sense of entitlement eh? That's a quick pivot away from your weak point about "bikes are dangerous because of rare mountain lion attacks" i guess. Now trying to call me abelist and classist as a random jab? Sure thing, pal.

The common is the commons and has to be paid for. Without funding the commons falls to "the tragedy of the commons," where the common good is destroyed by overuse and neglect. Washington has opted to protect the parks with a minimal, once a year fee to the people doing the most damage to the commons, drivers, that you are complaining about.

So you think the people using a common good and doing the most damage to it should not pay for that use? Why should the poor people without cars, the people who aren't able to bike or drive, pay for your visit?
