Inflation makes investments rise too. It's the people without them that are screwed by it.

I was so confused until I got to the edit.

It's not even a very big house. It looks maybe 40' or so wide and somewhat less deep, so I'm guessing it's maybe 3000 sq. ft. total. I would almost hesitate to even bestow the status of 'McMansion' on it.

Nice try, Padmé.

I'm sure they are. They have to be, unless they're steel inside instead (which is unlikely), because you can't make real stacked-stone masonry that skinny and have it be stable.

And that's my problem with it: it's fraudulent. Not even in an intentional "flouting the rules to make a modernist point" kind of way either; just out of ignorant and lazy design.

I mean, I own an old SUV myself (a real one, that I got specifically for off-roading and backcountry camping). I'm just not so anti-social as to daily-drive it in the city.

And because of the implication also that nuclear reactors produce extreme waste of building materials (e.g. Greifswald, ran for 26 years, dismantling in operation since 35 years and projected to last till 2040 at least

Ah, yes, the good ol' "force plants to close way before the end of their design lifetime due to anti-nuclear hysteria, and then use that truncated amortization as an excuse to dishonestly claim they were too expensive" argument. Works every time!

The general public is one thing, but that doesn't excuse the positions of activist organizations like Greenpeace that should've been better-informed.

You should check usernames before replying.

It depends on the transit service, and how much their IT people suck. I'm pretty sure there have been multiple attempts to make standardized APIs for this sort of thing, but you shouldn't necessarily expect them to be widely used except maybe in Europe.

Do a web search for "[transit service name] API" and start from there.

Edit: My local transit service apparently publishes a GTFS feed, which may be more widespread than I assumed, but I'm honestly kinda surprised they didn't try to roll their own or something stupid like that.

Grass does make flowers; they're just typically really small (unless it's something we've bred to be big, like corn or wheat).

For example, bermudagrass in flower:

Amazing how we went from every fetus is a valuable, beautiful person, to fuck the kids, let them starve.

That's not a transition; those ideas are held simultaneously. Moreover, they are not in conflict with each other, once you understand what MAGAs goals actually are.

Stop thinking that the argument you made somehow exposes their stupidity or hypocrisy or whatever, because it doesn't. All it does is reveal that you're still in denial and being too charitable about their motivations.
