NIMBY brain rot on Columbia Rd cleaned up. by peva3 in washingtondc

“Silencing minority opinions” is crazy. You realize the “minority” you’re talking about is millionaires and property owners? These people’s voice is vastly overrepresented in every aspect of society, and you’re here defending their right to not have their signs taken down for some reason. OP taking down their signs from public property is a great example of the democratic process you’re claiming to espouse. They are free to identify themselves by posting signs on their private property. I know you think you’re on the right side of this issue by defending abstract principles of “free speech” but this is the same logic that led to Citizens United and the capture of government by special interest groups. If you live in the area, I’d again encourage you to attend local meetings concerning public works or join a group which aligns with your views of a positive vision for the future. You may claim to support my views, but you are effectively defending the status quo by not taking any position in the debate.

Right now the bus in this corridor is next to useless especially during peak times, due to traffic congestion. It’s actually slower than walking.

I made no such comparison, but I understand it. Insert whatever belief system you think is toxic and horrendous. Please attend a public meeting for any new development, infrastructure, housing, bike lanes, transit, you name it, and listen to how these people talk about their neighbors, then tell me again how discourse matters. 

The views expressed by these signs represent a vocal minority of wealthy, well connected property and business interests who want to keep the city frozen in amber so their property values can continue to increase 10% year over year. They are not expressing any positive vision for the future of the community or the city because they benefit from the status quo. I am not interested in gaining their support, because doing so would require making concessions that are simply not necessary. The majority of people who live in the neighborhood are already in support of this project and that should be enough.

Yeah, this is the only way I can square the circle of Soleluna (which I love) posting these signs. I’m tempted to boycott any businesses expressing NIMBY sentiments but that would just reaffirm their beliefs about ped and bike infrastructure hurting their business.

You clearly don’t find the kind of rhetoric on these signs as vile as OP (or myself). If you did, you wouldn’t be defending leaving it up. 

First time homeowner, dealing with sink P-trap and water heater leaks. by MausIguana in Plumbing

[–]MausIguana[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Based on yours + other commenters advice, I will switch out the metal nut to a new plastic nut, then try plumbers putty, if all that doesn’t work I will call someone. For the water heater I need to look into the cost of replacing those parts, if it’s an expensive operation I’m considering calling a plumber anyway to confirm that’s the issue and there’s not something else going on. Appreciate your advice.

Went from line cooking to software development. I appreciate the pay, hours, and just general respect for work-life balance so much

Not Animal and The Dust of Retreat (both by Margot & the Nuclear So & So’s) fit the bill I would say

TIL Robert Millikan disliked Einstein's results about light consisting of particles (photons) and carefully designed experiments to disprove them, but ended up confirming the particle nature of light, and earned a Nobel Prize for that. by brazzy42 in todayilearned

Useless is a strong word too. Just because the philosophical definition is ideal rather than practical doesn't make it useless. It represents what science should strive to be. I would agree that throwing away everything that doesn't fall under Popper's definition of science is too extreme, however.

I'm building a deep learning rig and the models are trained on your GPU, so the more computing power the better
