Cars are not necessary nearly as much as most Americans think they are. It is a difficult problem to untangle, but not impossible. Accepting this level of tragedy and violence beca…

If they do not want to fund it they do not support it. The purpose of the system is what it does. Or in this case, the actions of the billionaire class and their capital are their …

You don’t need to outperform an LLM tho. The experience of working on it together is incredibly meaningful. I generally reject this litmus test that someone has to be “better” and …

This is anticipatory obedience and it's actively harmful. You are also wrong. Contracts, ordinances, and everything related to governance get rolled back or changed all the time. E…

This is just anticipatory obedience. Deciding that you've already lost before even trying is actively harmful, especially when paired with a lack of any other action. If you don't …

I read something a while ago that talked about this. Friendships are solidified mostly by asking for help. It shows the other person that you trust them and people are often honore…

Idaho stops are legal for cyclists in some form in a dozen states. There are tons of cycling specific laws that are separate or different from cars.

If you're going to be snarky you should try being right. You said > "Congress" usually refers to the House of Representatives. Which is incorrect and what I was responding to. Read…

His dissent in this case was basically "Don't over turn the tariffs because it will be too hard to make everyone whole" Which doesn't strike me as "principled" at all. Wasn't it JF…
