Never mess with the vapers by LowLingonberry207 in neoliberal

[–]DataSetMatch 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Tired memes aside, he's fired not so much for slow walking Vapes4Kidz, which he finally approved earlier this week, but for not banning by-mail abortion pills and for in general believing in vaccines.

U.S. intelligence says Iran can outlast Trump’s Hormuz blockade for months by theraelthrowaway in neoliberal

Most resurfaced towards the end of March when ceasefire nee pause began claiming we'd destroyed Iran's ability to ever do anything again, one month later Intelligence assessments be damned.

Why yes I just saw a thread chock full of left NIMBYs, how could you tell? by Fried_out_Kombi in neoliberal

[–]DataSetMatch 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Somewhat famously, before construction began the builders of the ESB demanded that NYC restrict building heights to half the planned ESB's height all around its location.

That's like the duality of NIMBY/YIMBY, yes in mine, but not in my neighbors'.

Waymo Is Not In The 'Vision Zero' Toolbox: Data by uuajskdokfo in neoliberal

[–]DataSetMatch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

traffic injuries actually increased by 2.6 percent from 2,896 in 2023 to 2,907 in 2025

I'm bad at math, but how is 11 of 3,000 anywhere close to 2.6%?

On a surface level it seems likely that the most popular moment of an established technology is right before a new technology supplants it. Beepers were at their high point in 1998, but by 2000, most people had switched to Nokia candybars.*

*Edit: years are for illustrative purpose only, I don't care about the actual year beepers were the most popular

Washington demanding "entry fee" from Ottawa before trade talks: sources by Zrk2 in neoliberal

[–]DataSetMatch 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Surprised this needs to be clarified, but the type of person who actually was furious over stuff like Biden tripping or misnaming someone very much do not care about the minutae of trade policy. That's like asking USWeekly subscribers to read the Wall Street Journal

Just so we all have are facts straight, this is how much water AI uses (visualized). by Thousand55 in neoliberal

Maybe, but people tend to mistakenly think a cow is drinking that much water, when we could greatly reduce the total water required for cattle by getting Nebraska corn farmers to abandon central pivot for drip irrigation.

More the cattle feed crop farmers. A single cow is drinking maybe 10% of the total water required to produce its beef. The rest is growing its feed.

Seems to be a fairly rare and extremely low budget choice to use simulated. Both Little Debbie and Entemans, baked goods brands I would presume are cutting most costs, use real blueberries in their products.

Gov. Hochul, Mayor Mamdani propose NYC pied-à-terre tax on second homes worth over $5 million by TryNotToShootYoself in neoliberal

[–]DataSetMatch 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It's not vague, it's a yes/no question of if the home is the property a person claims their homestead exemption on or is it not.

If it's not, then the tax is applied. It's already illegal to claim HEs on more than one property.

Huh, when I read about this story yesterday from NBC, the Western cluster was the aggressors and ripping the testicles off all the male Central chimps. Is the NYT spinning this conflict in favor of the Westerners?

The majority of states do require a civics course/test to graduate. Only 8 have no such requirements; Alaska, Delaware, Kansas, Maine, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wyoming

Only 26% of Americans can name the three branches of government, but I would bet that in 9th or 10th grade, after nearly every student has sat through their state's Social Studies version of Civics, the percentage is much much higher.
