It's a general rule of wine pairing that the wine should be sweeter than the food
The "SSH" picture would work for SSH tunneling
In this context "well regulated" means like a smoothly-running clock, with the implication being that militia members will need weapons for training and practice.

who the fuck invented strong overhead lighting
Well, in the beginning...
I guess the argument is that they will raise rent by the maximum, even at excessive risk of losing tenants? Because if the tenants will pay that much, why wouldn't the landlord charge that anyway?
The new rules would require applicants to assess and limit the probability of accidental explosions to less than one in a thousand for each satellite they submit for approval.
That seems generous.
Definite agree with the core of what you're saying, though for US and EU (and to a lesser degree "High income countries"), the numbers are quite close, as clean grid energy is significantly outpacing electric vehicle adoption (and EVs rely on a clean grid to be clean).
If you return the tax to everyone as a dividend, then it becomes progressive, while still encouraging less polluting options
Looking at things at the federal level will always be misleading. What's the EU minimum wage?
Minimum wage in CA for a McDonalds job is $20/hr. In NY it's $15/hr ($16 in NYC).
To be fair, it would be more effective to build a handful of mid-rises rather than clear-cutting space for a new exurb
The antecedent of "its" is America, not the drug
Effective systemic change requires changing the systems, not individual people or companies. If we want less virgin plastic or gasoline burning, it needs to be less profitable to extract oil, process it, and sell it to people who want it, otherwise somebody is going to do that.
That is why in California, bees are fish
The report describes living comfortably as spending no more than 30% of one’s income on rent.
This is abusing a crude, outdated rule of thumb that never worked in HCOL areas [1]. Put simply, if your rent goes up by $10K annually and all other costs remain the same, you only need $10K more per year to be just as "comfortable", not $33.33K.
Granted, $35.1K is a lot (that would be 100% of minimum wage in Los Angeles). The median rent for a **1BR ** is $2.2K [2], so 26K per year (i.e. still too much).
In short, minimum wage isn't enough to afford rent in L.A., but you certainly don't need to be making $100K.
This requirement is also the plot of the 2020 Hugo Award for Best Short Story, As the Last I May Know
Seems to be specific to Saanich, BC. It's about 2k pop/mi2, which is like medium density suburb (single family zoning with small yards).
Yep, even people living side-by-side may have very different transportation needs; the goal is to encourage bike use where possible, as it benefits everyone. Bikes don't have to replace every trip either. An e-bike can do 20mph (i.e. 3 mins per mile) with minimal effort, so the times for some of your trips are quite reasonable:
- Grocery: 9 minutes
- Fast food: 6 minutes
- Gym: 18 minutes (this is a bit high, but it's also exercise, so it kind of works out)
Cargo e-bikes can handle a 100lb load, so your grocery and gym bags are no problem.
All this is not to say that a bike would be a good fit for you, just that they can handle a lot more than you give them credit for.
