As we have seen a rise of toxic behavior we have decided that it would be time for some rules. We would love other ideas too and feel free to discuss it here.

Also we are thinking about, to put in an Automoderation tool that could help us a lot. Because its currently not easy for us to scan every new comments and reports are rare currently. We want your opinons on that too, because its important to us that this community is based on the people here.

The shortlist that we have currently as idea for the Rules:

• Be Kind to each other
• No Hate speech
• Dont harass people
• No Racism, sexism and any other discrimination
• Dont attack other people just because they have differnt opinions (Stay on Topic)
• Do not double post

In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let's try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:

• [meta] for discussions/suggestions about this community itself
• [article] for news articles
• [blog] for any blog-style content
• [video] for video resources
• [academic] for academic studies and sources
• [discussion] for text post questions, rants, and/or discussions
• [meme] for memes
• [image] for any non-meme images
• [misc] for anything that doesn't fall cleanly into any of the other categories

I have copied that idea from another community. I forgot which one so sorry!

Feel free to discuss that here, I would like that change because it makes it a lot easier

My drawing of the guy who cruised past my house this morning, all casual-like. I was particularly impressed with the blender as travel mug.

I know there is a bikeability and walkability score online, but when I move to those places I find mostly recreational biking paths and unprotected bicycle lanes doing most of the heavy lifting, they don’t have very many bike lanes that actually go anywhere like businesses, public transportation, hospitals, gyms, or entertainment facilities.

Is there a metric for that or a website that tracks actual usability of bike and walk routes and maybe even their safety features?

• A tire chemical called 6PPD-Q, already blamed for killing salmon, was examined for possible links to Alzheimer’s disease in a new computer-based study.
• Using computer models, researchers found that the chemical can latch onto several proteins associated with Alzheimer’s and reach brain regions involved in the disease.
• No patients or animals were tested; the study rests entirely on computer predictions and reused datasets, so it cannot prove the chemical causes Alzheimer’s.

Petro-masculinity is an analytical label to describe a variety of masculinity associated with the petroculture and fossil fuel industry, including both the workers in the industry and promoters of the industry in the large social and civic space. Though petro-masculinities have existed as part of different fossil fuel industries, the analysis of them became important in the late 2010s as the connection of masculinity cultures with climate denial.

The interventions include congestion charging, urban transport planning, housing planning, mass transit development, active travel promotion, electric vehicles and low emissions zones, among others.

A child who was hit by a car while riding their bike in McFarland on Wednesday evening has died, according to police.

Metro transit/bike/walk initiatives reduce GHG emissions by 2.7 million MTCO2e, while Metro highway expansions would increase emissions by 2.6 million to 10.1 million MTCO2e

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Tuesday that his department would redirect $1.73 billion in Biden-era grants away from establishing “DEI bike lanes” to build roads and bridges instead.

So, what exactly is a “DEI bike lane?”

The Daily Wire pointed to former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s claim that a series of 2021 grants funding bike lanes would serve to “improve infrastructure, strengthen supply chains, make us safer, advance equity, and combat climate change.”

Upon hearing “equity,” President Donald Trump’s goons can’t help but get triggered into attacking any federal spending that won’t benefit them directly. In reality, those Biden-era grants directed funds to build a new transit center in North Carolina, replace bridges in New Mexico, extend streets in New Hampshire, install traffic lights and crosswalks in Missouri, and install bike lanes in Seattle, among other projects. Now the financial status of these projects is unclear.
