I have a better alternative: invest in viable alternatives to driving! expand protected bike lanes, build the damn high speed rail, more trains, trams and bus lines. One more asphalt lane for cars wont solve traffic problems :)

Someone needs to help grandpa over here, I only recognize lemmy and mastodon logos

It’s no surprise that federal public universities have received the highest marks; they are universally recognized as the best. But the evaluation of medical programs has also revealed that tuition fees can be inversely proportional to the quality of the education being offered. Medicine schools that scored the lowest (1 or 2 on a scale of 1-5) charge each student between $1,100 and $2,600 a month, according to a detailed analysis by Veja magazine. This is veritable fortune in a country where the minimum wage is $313 a month.

How can you charge so much compared to their minimum wage and still be so bad?

Root for better public transport and active cities instead of car dependency :)

Sorry, I thought it fit the theme quite clearly as it shows how a car centric infrastructure hurts us all, including animals. That huge parking lot could have been housing, or a park, or perhaps a big ass tub for them to swim in. (ps: I'm not saying they should be locked up in the first place, as the sea is right over there where they could roam freely though)

If you are in the EU, remember to sign the petition too:

Deadline is close, 2025-07-31, and we haven't reached 50% yet

We should actually use an opensource, decentralized and private alternative instead of relying on another centralized service

See Fileverse for example: https://fileverse.io/

Politico is owned by Germany's largest right leaning yellow press publisher Axel Springer. They love to push Anti-Green, ultra conservative agendas

If I were to guess, social housing is probably making a big difference there, as rents tend to remain lower and people have more money available to spend elsewhere

You need to design your streets appropriately and the speed limit will be followed. If you design stroads like a race track, people will speed on it like a race track

If your streets are narrower, has curves, chicanes and trees, it naturally forces drivers to reduce speed without needing speed bumps / radars / giant speed signs (the faster you go, bigger signage is required)

I got one of those once, I contacted the grocery and manufacturer with the receipt. Grocery store promptly replaced it, while the manufacturer sent me a box full of random goodies and an apology letter

Qbittorrent + search plugins is the way to go:

I was prepared to hear the story that the youtuber got sued into oblivion for defamation. Glad to hear they actually worked on improving it instead

It is lovely to see so many people training their AIs

Fuck Denuvo

I ditched my goodreads account once I learned about bookwyrm as an alternative, I'm liking it so far

That's a common misconception about congestion price in NY. The poor wasn't driving to Manhattan in the first place, they represented only 2%, and the money generated by congestion pricing will be reinvested back into public transport.

Climate Town did a great video on this subject, with more details if you are interested:

What's really bad for the poor is car centric design, where you are forced to have a car and spend, on average, $12k annually to maintain it

Trip on one of the pots on the ground and tumble yourself into the racks to create a domino effect

I'm yet to see a majority support from businesses when pedestrianization efforts begin(18% in this case), but they always do a 180 when they see sales growth
