@jasonc_nc @LinkofSunshine not necessarily, different cities have different commuting flows therefore it's incorrect to compare cities by average (geographic) commute time than by average (commuters) commuting time

@LinkofSunshine So youโre saying the most common use case in a dense city is more like around your general neighborhood vs choosing to visit the furthest point away from you each day?
English
It's a cool paper, but the assumption that people are equally likely to start and end at any given point makes this kind of useless imo?
It just rewards smaller cities like Paris, most trips in NYC are midtown to midtown instead of random people going to Staten Island

Very interesting new study finding that *even in large European cities*, in most places it is easier to access opportunities by car than by public transport arxiv.org/pdf/2604.01019 The exceptions are Paris, Zurich and the innermost parts of Milan and Barcelona

@StefanFrancisci a lower population isn't the problem, a declining population drains government finances, though. a rising population means that future generations can more easily fund today's expenditures

Unpopular opinion: World with 1/10 of current population wont be a worse place

TFR of Mainland China 2025. Now all provinces except Heilongjiang has published birth data, so we can obtain an estimate of Heilongjiang's numbers as well.

@SadSoul_1927 @jacopogiliberto appunto sticazzi dell'ambiente, e solo comodo non perderlo e non doverti preoccuparti che cada. tanto basta girarla e ti si leva dalla faccia

@jacopogiliberto il 95% della plastica in mare viene da paesi orientali e arriva qui dopo anni di viaggio, l'altro 5% arriva da piene dei fiumi che puliscono sponde e da distrazioni umane, in compenso perรฒ il meccanismo di aggancio ha aumentato del 10% la plastica usata nei tappi, l'UE รจ geniale!

@comaccomacco @AZinCLE True, but we're really working on it tbf bus lines are amazing and the tram is getting broader and broader

@The_Davos_Man ice cream, plentiful housing and a yimby attitude, anti-communism, arts and infrastructure (though their impact was probably a net negative on both they still left behind lots)

@ShumBaloo @SantiPerales76 @mannieigwe "Low Grade" c'mon, pompeu fabra, bocconi, Insead are all better economics schools than Warwick and better business schools than LBS . so no, British students arent just sunbathing, but are actually getting a world class education better than what they could've gotten at home
English
@SantiPerales76 @mannieigwe Did they now?
And they managed that in sunny Spain and Italy, at low grade Party Universities, taking Erasmus courses taught in English.
Quite impressive
English
So, Britain would have to pay the EU ยฃ570m next year, followed by ยฃ840m in future years for the privilege of joining this scheme. The Turing scheme is more targeted, cheaper (ยฃ110m per year), has broader global reach and only funds British talent. Tell me something Erasmus+ offers British students that Turing doesn't.

Belgium has to be the most bipolar country in the world
What do you mean one of the most beautiful places in Europe and also one of the ugliest places in Europe are located in one country

@Firetruck_125 @ChimeraX2021 "wasting taxpayer money" and "moneymaking ploy [for the government]" in the same sentence and you genuinely don't understand why you're wrong
English
@ChimeraX2021 I find reducing a speed limit by only 10mph on a rural road, then wasting taxpayer money on installing overly invasive surveillance equipment to enforce it as a moneymaking ploy objectionable. At no point did I say I wanted to break the law

this is illegal in Canada now btw
in about 20 years, the UK went from one of the best countries to be a car enthusiast in to one of the worst

@comaccomacco Are you voting Si or No? (if I might ask)

@giulio_mattioli @GenevaInvestor but why is it 8hr 45 for
rome - Paris? Turin to Rome is 4hr rn and hopefully will go down if we finally allow higher speeds, Turin to Paris will be 3 hours once the HSR is complete
English
@GenevaInvestor This is a plan, not the current situation.
English
Fascinating how this map shows that Rome is the most isolated European capital, the furthest away from any other, sitting in the middle of a dead end beyond a wall.

@LinkofSunshine i know a guy whose New Yorker dad did that. poor guy was born in Manhattan but grew up in the middle of buttfuck nowhere Portugal without a single child within an hour of him. He's totally Neuro typical but the most socially inept person I know

I often punch left. I am, on fiscal matters, rather conservative โ although I like welfare for the poor, Iโd like to cut it for seniors and veterans. But for all that, I *hate* the modern conservative movement. I want it extirpated from the earth.

@TwinkRegimer @captgouda24 doesn't necessarily require slaughter
English
@comaccomacco @captgouda24 cows have to be separated from their calves to make cheese, and you either slaughter those calves for meat or slaughter them to not waste resources
English
Putting out studies like this, and reporting on them so, is a small act of evil.
ABC News@ABC
People who regularly ate higher-fat cheese and cream had a lower risk of developing dementia over 25 years, according to a new study. abcnews.link/X4A1ztu
English
@TwinkRegimer @captgouda24 not necessary. cheese ain't made from meat. Cows have to be alive to make cheese.
English
@comaccomacco @captgouda24 It does require animal slaughter
