SF is 7mi X 7mi, so they own 28mi X 28mi of land. About the size of NYC and LA combined if I’m doing this right.

Impressive rundown.
- Comment on Why You Shouldn't Care About Electric Cars 3 weeks ago:
I normally like Adam, but this is a dumbass take for a number of reasons. Let me name the ones just on the top of my head:
- EVs can operate anywhere in the world, and skip the energy dependent bonds of neighboring countries (politics)
- You can have a solar install on your home and offset the costs of charging, so it’s essentially free, AND better for the environment (sustainability)
- China literally stole all the designs from existing manufacturing processes and use those for their BYD cars. This has already been admitted to, and is a fact. They aren’t “doing better”, they are "making cheaper"
- expounding on 3, they only make cheaper cars because of SLAVE LABOR. Unless other countries want to get back into the slavery business, you’re not going to beat that price point.
- “Western” car makers carry warranties with their product. China does not. AT.ALL. You buy it, you bought it. Read the fine print and realize that whatever BYD is claiming as a warranty only extends to cars within a certain radius of one of their dealerships, and not outside of China.
I can go on and on about this, but on headline alone, Adam fucked up her. What a stupid take.

Josh Johnson is a treasure.
- Comment on Making coffee from scratch (is hard) [38:33] 4 weeks ago:
These days you practically have to keep a constant moving vessel and consistent temperature, so a barrel roaster is what most places use if you’re not a big a distributor.
You can find some cheap “less than $300” out there if you’re really hardcore about your coffee, but the quality control for the finishing and off-gassing some of these places has is way worth the cheap-ish price for a roasted bag for $10-15.

- Comment on James Gunn's Superman | Official Teaser Trailer 4 weeks ago:
Lot happening here I’m unfamiliar with, but I’m guessing this is going to have some humor considering one of the first appearances is Krypto.

Didn’t even know it existed until today. Was never a fan of his until I saw him on TinyDesk and found out he’s just got a great voice and is a music nerd. Solid performance.

- Comment on Why is Gen Z so Poor? 2 months ago:
Guess what? They didn’t pay any better when the previous generation was working them either.
THAT’S THE PROBLEM
Some for that.
- Comment on Why is Gen Z so Poor? 2 months ago:
Gen Z refuses to realize they a fucking job instead of fighting to be an influencer.
- Comment on Why are cassette and CD players so bulky now? 2 months ago:
Because MiniDisc got it right, and Sony refused to open source the tech.
- Comment on How Self-Driving Cars will Destroy Cities (and what to do about it) 2 months ago:
They aren’t “Megalopolis” sized cities at all. This doesn’t scale.
It’s nice for smaller cities, absolutely.
Will not scale to LA, NYC, Tokyo, London, Beijing…run down the list.
- Comment on How Self-Driving Cars will Destroy Cities (and what to do about it) 2 months ago:
Literally a city and society on a way smaller scale and full of able-people to get around.
Still a fucking nightmare for this that can’t.
I love this video shows a couple wheelchair folks moving around the city along bikers. Great.
Utrecht is 350k people. New York metro is 19.5 MILLION people, and LA is like 18.5 MILLION.
Making tiny cities more accessible to certain groups only works at a certain scale. Anyone telling you “you need to do this to make your community better” is only half right.

Careful. There’s a heavy-handed mod here removing anything from SNL and suggesting you post in “politicalvideos” or something.
- Comment on Why Do British Trains Have Yellow Fronts? | Jago Hazzard 2 months ago:
“British trains have yellow fronts primarily for safety and visibility. The yellow color helps ensure that trains are easily seen, especially near level crossings and in low-light conditions, as it stands out against various environments.”
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Yep. It’s pretty great too. Roy, Amber Ruffin, and Michael Ian Black. Wish it had more exposure, so posting here.

Sick of these videos. AI is insanely obvious and easy to spot. Especially on nature photos.

- Comment on The Side of China The Media Won't Show You 2 months ago:
Honestly, the same is true for almost every country. The US is demonized elsewhere in the world, but people making trips like this across the US will just see people going about their lives, and a beautiful country. The real problems aren’t with the people though, it’s with the actions of the government.
Most people in China have mundane lives and don’t think about the oppression they live under, because it’s not usually impacting what they need to do in a daily basis. Same with Russia, Iran, Turkey…etc.
- Comment on [SomeOrdinaryGamers] Twitch Is A Disgustingly Evil Platform... 2 months ago:
Nope. Watched it just fine. Didn’t even misunderstand a single thing. Guys makes his point but is 100% wrong.
If you get involved with a platform that doesn’t align with your ideas, and find out about that later, you’re at the behest of said platform.
Your fault. Not the platform.
- Comment on [SomeOrdinaryGamers] Twitch Is A Disgustingly Evil Platform... 2 months ago:
It’s a platform like any other that is trying to NOT piss off one group or another and end up on the boycott block.
It’s every public platform ever. This should not be news.
Anyone posting stuff like this is just angry about a stance not being declared.
