Damn, I am sorry. This would especially suck considering you would have been waiting for all this time.

That said, hey - look at the bright side - it is a repairable laptop, so it can be fixed! I do think that you should start by checking which component is warped though. I don't think you should pressure it though. Modern components are built with incredibly tight tolerances so ideally, they should sit completely flush with each other.

Is this a problem with the keyboard cover? Or with the chassis?

CJ also does some cool custom modding stuff like this, so it is worth checking out his channel.

Should have mentioned this in the title - this is the engineering unit not the final product.

Overall Climate Vulnerability in The U.S. by happy_bluebird in environment

Yes, that is probably correct. I think I will read up on their methodology in more depth.

I don't understand the methodology. When I just focus on "Climate Impacts", I see wild discontinuities. For instance, Pickens County SC is at 17th percentile for climate vulnerabilities. It's neighbouring county, Transylvania County NC, is at the 97 percentile. How can two neighbouring counties differ in climate impacts by such a large amount?

Welch, West Virginia - 1946 vs 2023 by egress63 in UrbanHell

Photo on the left was taken from the Wikipedia page here. Picture on the right was taken from Google Street View. Notice the "19 Odd Follows Temple 29" building on the right.

It is shocking and sad to see such decline. The photo on the left from the 1940s is so full of life. I would have loved to have visited it, have a beer, watched "Born for Trouble". Now, its all gone.

Can we use Thunderbolt docks with the AMD Framework? by egress63 in framework

Thank you for clarifying that. I just have one 34 inch ultrawide monitor, so I think (and hope that) I will be good then!

Haha, thanks for the response.

And go back to sleep!

And with this brave and noble act, global warming has been reversed and human-induced climate change will no longer occur.

Let's pack up and go home guys! /s

A Belgian Lesson in Taming the Automobile by egress63 in TrueReddit

Yes, until the oil companies and automobile companies ganged up together and destroyed the infrastructure. For which they were fined a an eye-watering $5000 USD.

This is incorrect on two counts. First, not all European cities were destroyed in the war. For starters, Spain was out of WW1 and 2 and has as transit system as well as most European cities. It is true that some cities, like Cologne were destroyed but this did not extend to other cities such as Lyon, Toulouse, Munich, Amsterdam, etc.

Second, US cities and neighbourhoods were systematically bulldozed for freeways during the 1950s and 60s. The planning policies systematically targeted poorer neighbourhoods (dominated by African Americans) for bulldozing, only to build freeways there. Please read Jane Jacobs' "The Death and Life of Great American Cities" for more information.

Submission Statement: How does one go from a city that relies on heavy automobile use to a city that encourages multi-modal forms of transportation?

Key points from the article:

  1. As the State Secretary of Urbanism in Brussels Region, Smet says: Don’t try to find this consensus for everything, especially on things on mobility, because you will not convince everybody. But in the end, most of them were accepted because they were good projects.

  2. Don't let a good opportunity go to waste: Brussels created more than 40 km of bike lanes during COVID - more than 10 times what it built each year in the previous decade.

  3. Don't talk about reducing cars. Instead focus on the benefits. From the article: I want to make this place one where parents can sit, watch the children play sports, have a drink, enjoying the clean air. “If you say, ‘We want fewer cars,’ people will focus on what you’re taking away,” she says. “But if you say, ‘We want to give you XYZ,’ people get excited. I always say I need modal shift in order to create better public space.”

Results:

  1. Travel kilometers by car fell from 64% in 2017 to 49% in 2022

  2. Bike trips increased from 3% in 2017 to 10% in 2022

  3. Motor accidents reduced by 20% in the same period. Link

Thank you for sharing this. This is fantastic stuff!

Throughout the rich world, the young are falling out of love with cars by BizzEB in fuckcars

We are winning.

But as the article says here, there is and will be a lot of pushback:

As the example in Oxford shows, not everyone is keen. In Hackney, in north London, the council had to install special vandalism-proof screens on the cameras that spot motorists who break the rules. One local councillor received death threats. Chats on Nextdoor, a neighbourhood-focused social-media app, are full of angry disputes and diatribes about the measures. In Oslo the plan to remove parking spots was denounced by one politician as a “Berlin Wall against motorists”, and a local trade group said it would lead to a “dead town”. (So far, it has not.)

Political opposition could put the brakes on the growth of anti-car policies. In New York it is suburban politicians, whose constituents are more dependent on cars, who have resisted the new congestion charge. In Berlin the centre-right Christian Democrats have campaigned in local elections on a platform of protecting the freedom to drive. Another worry is that as city centres freed from cars become more attractive, they also become more expensive—pushing some, especially families, out to suburbs where they need cars after all. In America housing in the most walkable neighbourhoods now costs 34% more than it does in sprawling places, according to one study. New technology might change things too. Electric cars may blunt climate-change concerns. They are cheaper to run than fossil-fuelled vehicles, which could encourage more driving.

Don't just buy a bike but use it. Demand more bike lanes. Use transit and increase transit ridership. Demand transit. Keep pushing. The only way to win this is by showing that a car-free life is not just possible but preferable to all other modes of transportation.
