Imagine the cost of changing the entire road network over to use metric.

Here’s a zero-cost plan to migrate the road network over to metric: have a transition period where signs may be shown in either unit, then require all replacement signs to be shown as metric. Since all signs must eventually be replaced, over a long enough period of time the whole network will become metric without any marginal cost increase.

The only downside is that for a time, people have to understand both units and how they relate to each other.

Is it really valid to call permalink() in that context, since it requires &self? There’s no self in that context afaik. Can’t test it now but it looks suspicious

EDIT: Invalid since the comment was updated

Oh fuck that rules

That policy obviously needs to die a horrible death.

Barring some technical breakthrough, I am inclined to agree.

We can and should build extensive high-speed rail networks, though. This will provide intra-continental mobility at a price affordable for everyone. While gratuitous trips to the other side of the world will no longer be feasible, fast intra-continental trips can in many cases take their place. Flying can remain a niche for when it’s completely unavoidable, in which case we should be able to absorb the emissions.

Actual emissions taxing is basically a necessary step when it comes to air travel - currently, the fuel is completely tax free and that’s not great. Take all of that money and pump it directly into rail, which is the actual way forward for intra-continental travel.

It will get more expensive and less accessible for lower income people. There’s just really no way around that.

Normally I will default to siding with workers, but I’m not siding with the pilots on this one. No way.

Barring societal collapse I believe I will be able to retire, but that’s only because I’ve gotten extraordinarily lucky in life.

It’s also when using a blocked word on lemmy.ml, but will only show as such for users of that instance.

The r-word is on that list, and I believe the b-word might be as well.

Note that this is monthly, not yearly as is usually reported for other countries. Argentinian inflation is not the same beast we’re dealing with in most of the rest of the world. The yearly number is closer to 200% as reported by the article.

I’m sure it’s possible to find some good places on the island, but in my opinion, why risk it? Thailand has so much other stuff to offer at way less of a risk.

Fucking clown always trying to sell his stupid shit

I used to laugh really hard about that shit as well, but I was apparently just not seeing that the guy was buying an election. I guess I just think too small.
