If you think that "masks" work for any purpose other than keeping spittle out of a surgery patient's innards, then go paint a house with just a "mask".

You mean, threat to Our Democracy.™

Yeah, that's a "you" problem.

If the adjacent strip mall has some of their parking go unused, why are they not willing to sell some of the adjacent portion to the developer? And if the adjacent street parking is underused, then why is the developer unwilling to convince the city to sell some of it so that the developer can narrow away those spaces and gain a bit more usable land for parking?

Cars are the entire reason that people can live in cheap middle-o'-nowhere areas and work in one of several possible mutually-competing not-so-cheap maximally-centralized areas. If you get rid of cars, or make it impossible to drive a car into the centralized areas to work, then you will make life unprofitable for a lot of people.

While parking minimums can be bad, the developer choosing to put adequate parking on her development can easily be a wise choice. Specifically, doing so means the development will be attractive to a much bigger pool of prospective tenants, i.e. those who aren't necessarily content to spend all of their time inside a shithole.

Increased demand means higher price which means the developer will actually make money by developing which means the developer will actually develop instead of doing something else with her life.

Dense cities can easily be shitholes, and confining a shithole's residents to the innards of that shithole (by making them unable to park their motor vehicles at their residence, i.e. making them unable to own motor vehicles) does not make the shithole not a shithole.

Sure it's valuable, but not valuable enough to outweigh the inherent unprofitability of working in the same town I live in; nor to outweigh "my fair share" of the costs of changing things to work that way.

Burning fossil fuels is no excuse to not also take some time to use your legs (and arms etc). u/GKnives, have you ever heard of this thing called "personal responsibility"?

Modern high-capacity batteries require lithium and various other rare minerals which themselves require lots of energy to mine, and are difficult to recycle. Making lots more of them, is not going to be good for the environment.

Right, because that has been working so well in Oregon lately...

Three of the four outgoing anti-legalization Senators are Republican, but so are three of the four incoming pro-legalization Senators.

I thought it was Franconia.

That's easy. Tree streets.

Actually, that pay raise, like any CACR, will then go to the next state ballot, only taking effect with a 2/3rds majority. So, they'll vote themselves to ask the voters for a big pay raise, but the voters won't necessarily say "yes".

The fourth image would suggest the latter case.

If this were true, then certainly a private university (which does have First Amendment rights like any private citizen and unlike the gov't itself) could have policies and regulations regarding the religion that it is the university's purpose to teach, and it could legally refuse to be associated with a group that violates them. Bizarrely, courts have recently found to the contrary.

UC Hastings and UNH are both public universities (i.e. part of the gov't) and therefore do not enjoy their own freedom of association.

tl;dr the courts have been consistently giving freedom of association a big fat middle finger.

Guns are tools - metal, wood, and some springs - without a finger on the trigger, they are inert. Living animals are just that - living, biological creatures (albeit not sentient, not agent, and not otherwise asserting the natural rights that humans assert). The former do not have "a mind of their own", and the latter do, however limited it may be.

It's WMUR, of course they are, why assume otherwise?

Modern medicine has removed almost all evolutionary pressure upon human life.

And worse yet, LBJ started our government to provide evolutionary "anti-pressure" upon human reproduction in the US, by subsidizing the poorest to have more bastards.

It says "Do the people who work in Portsmouth live in Portsmouth?".
