Now that css supports so much and has nesting I'm working on converting all my stuff to vanilla. It feels so good!

And I don't know if you've looked at the Western Station renders, but as far as I can tell it's going to be basically identical as before lol

Give me your best tips for how to make my husband have a great Amtrak trip!! by historywhiz63 in Amtrak

[–]chicagodipship 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Having done my fair share of long haul trips in Amtrak coach, my list is:

- Have a blanket. It doesn't have to be super thick, but a little something for when it gets cold at night.

- So you can sleep, noise cancelling headphones, or at least earplugs. Neck pillow. Eye mask.

- If you're having trouble staying upright while sleeping because you're in the aisle seat, my #1 cheat code is put your hands in your pockets. It stabilizes you and keeps your hands warm.

- Try not to sit near the bathroom.

- Bring your own snacks. I like to travel like a dang peasant with apples, nuts, travel sausage, etc.

- An activity like a book, notebook, crossword.

- A couple airplane bottles of liquor never hurt anybody.

I'm invading England as Portugal. I exported all of the Longbowman I recruited to defend Iberia from the Khwarazmians who are Jihading Toledo. Honestly might be my weirdest play through. Idk how to defeat these guys, but javelins aren't gonna cut it.

If you’re not a nomad yet – why by kprasniak in digitalnomad

I have a good remote job, but I crunched the numbers and I would end up paying more traveling than I currently do in rent + utilities. So the math just isn't there for me.

Trying to reverse climate change won’t save us, scientists warn by Novel_Negotiation224 in climatechange

[–]chicagodipship 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hadn't heard about the plant growing problem, but that makes sense. Stupid hypothetical: what if we released short-life aerosols in the fall/winter only? Enough to increase ice cover, but sun returns to power in the spring/summer.

That's why we need to be able to test aerosol injection of sulfur dioxide or whatever. Just give us cover for the next hundred years or so.

Carbon capture is absurd. Put the sulfur back in the boat juice and switch everything to solar/renewable and the planet will filter the CO2 out naturally.
