If commuter cars can be replaced then so can commuter trucks.

And even in between counties. I cross the county line between a well-funded suburban county and a dirt-poor rural county occasionally and the road quality is night and day.

It's even more than 90% of the land: 80% of people in the US live in just 3% of the land area. The only infrastructure needed in 97% of America is just train lines stringing small towns to the nearest big cities. We used to have this. The train tracks are mostly still there. We just need to make a deal with railroad companies that we'll invest in the tracks in return for national passenger trains having total priority on them. Or just eminent domain them, that would work too.

Nobody is saying that we need to have a bike path going across the whole country. Most people don't leave their home city on a regular basis, and for those who do, we need to build trains, not more cars.

It will continue to be real for as long as we keep giving him special treatment and avoid enforcing the law.

Electrolytes are chemicals that can ionize to carry current. Table salt is one electrolyte, but potassium and magnesium salts are also required by the human body. Nerves work by sending electrical signals, so they need these electrolytes in order for them to carry those signals throughout the body. The problem is, the amount of electrolytes available to nerves depends on the amount present in the bloodstream, and when sweat glands pull water out of the bloodstream, they also take some electrolytes with it. That's why you need to replenish them after sweating. If you don't, your nerves won't work as well and your muscles will have a hard time coordinating. The specific ions you need to organize muscle contraction are sodium, potassium, and magnesium, so if you're low in any of those, then you risk weakness and cramps. So it's not quite as simple as just drinking table salt.

Yeah wow the 15% of people who don't live in cities should really be our highest priority to keep in mind at all times when designing cities.

I guess we wouldn't have LeopardsAteMyFace if it wasn't :/

It is weird, because the entire point of racist ideology in America has historically been for personal gain by slaveowners, but now it's just objectively hurting their states' economies. Are they really getting that much benefit from exploitation like prison labor and such, or are they just so stuck in their ways that they'd rather feel powerful over others at their own expense?

Yeah, if the train comes every five minutes, that's going to be way more consistent than traffic over time.

They just haven't been sued over it (afaik) yet because blind people have found other solutions. Reddit is so far behind in accessibility compared to other social media- the official app doesn't have:

• Any way to add alt text on images
• Accessible moderation tools
• Aria labels on the upvote and downvote buttons, the most basic feature of the site

It's actually incredible how little thought was put into the redesign and the official app.

And inadvertently kill the work-from-home economy.
