@x8is_ @DankBankMan @LinkofSunshine You didn't buy the land. You're basically leasing it. Taxes are baked into the price.
English
@DankBankMan @LinkofSunshine Doesn't matter. I bought it and it's part of my wealth and I should thus not be taxed for merely owning because wealth taxes are bad.
English
Land tax is the single most just tax that exists.
No one was involved in making that plot of land, no one has the right to own it without paying back to the community

I’m 30 years old & I can’t grasp property taxes. So like even if the house is paid off in full…the government still owns the plot of land that the house is on? LMAO🤣🥴

@SelectStarMan @hyperplanes "Officers proceeded to mix 3 eggs into the flour and beat until smooth"
English
@hyperplanes I think the implication is that a large part of police reports now is pro forma cliches. "The suspect was moving suspiciously and smelled of weed." "Officers proceeded to <insert standard procedure from police regs>"

@SomervilleCity That looks very nice but I do wish this picture of an ideal future included even a single new residence.

(1/2) In a major milestone for the Union Square Plaza & Streetscape Redesign project, the City has released the 25% Design Ideas & Vision plan, a street-by-street strategy documenting nearly 5 years of community vision.

@Whebblewhite @lastpositivist Let me remind the audience that he doesn't like to cook with onions.

@lastpositivist Liam, this is by far your worst opinion ever. I hope this finally cancels you. Heathen.

Cutting out the train ride sequence from Spirited Away because it doesn't advance the plot. No deadweight.

I wish the leap from "I think this" to "everyone thinks this" was harder.

(A): Date a 22-year-old hot, virgin, fast food worker. OR... (B): Date a 35-year-old doctor with a $600K salary and $1M in the bank who has slept with 100's. Women will choose (B), while men would want option (A). Ladies, stop trying to think we're the same, we're not.

@colprisunny @MBTA @MassGovernor @FTA_DOT @MassDOT @MBTATransitPD @NBC10Boston @WCVB @wbz @7News The phrase "good enough for government work" is supposed to be sarcastic because they're just doing enough to keep their jobs (which is not much)

@scld @MBTA @MassGovernor @FTA_DOT @MassDOT @MBTATransitPD @NBC10Boston @WCVB @wbz @7News 20 minutes wait for Braintree line at park is okay for you?
English
This is absolutely asinine. @MBTA @MassGovernor @FTA_DOT @MassDOT @MBTATransitPD can someone bring anything to the table here @NBC10Boston @WCVB @wbz @7News

There are simulated fingerprints!!!

I figured it's time to update my PCB shaders and render settings. This rendered image is for a 48V 2kW bidirectional DC/DC converter designed by Texas Instruments, modelled in #b3d and rendered with cycles on a RTX4060. I'll also be using this design to test my Laplace solver for DC current distribution #pcb #kicad #altium #blender3d #geometrynodes #simulationnodes #Engineering #electronics #hardware #ElectricVehicles #Chargers #render #art #technology #pcbdesign #cycles #Nvidia #RTX4060

If civilization flourishes in this century
It will have been because of the will of ~1,000 dudes in SF, LA, and D.C.

From ancient Rome to modern Atlanta, the shape of cities has been defined by the technologies that allow commuters to get to work in about 30 minutes — an idea that has come to be known as the Marchetti Constant.

@PippengerHarlo @homoluigi People build their own houses and then move all the time. It is literally always happening. Step 1 is don't subsidize them sprawling and they will change their choices.
English
@PippengerHarlo @homoluigi One of them requires us to stop subsidizing sprawl and make some minor tax code changes.
The other requires the greatest and also unsustainable engineering project in human history.

What is more feasible relocating 150 million Americans from the suburbs to urban cores or providing reasonable public transportation options to most suburbs
English
@SwannMarcus89 Pre-Eisenhower? So a lot more state-level road infrastructure with large rail for interstate travel and shipping.
English
@scld How would you produce resources in this scenario and who would maintain infrastructure between the cities?

Not-so-fun fact: Ireland (the island that includes Northern Ireland) had 1.2 million more people at the 1841 census than they had in 2020. Ireland's population never recovered from the Great Famine and mass emigration to America

“Ireland is full” my brother in Christ 99% of our island looks like this
English
@SwannMarcus89 Every city in the world should be at least million people, surrounded by verdant pastures which are only broken up by bullet trains that connect to the nearest million person city.
English
Proving my ability to link everything to housing, this also makes it totally absurd that Ireland has a worse housing crisis than America. How in the world can the Irish not find land on which to build? Their entire population is in Dublin! Nobody lives anywhere else!
