Or, historically, when you’re building a new factory, the first thing you do is build a rail connection right next to it

It’s owned and populated by history and science/engineering YouTubers, so if you’re not usually watching that side of YouTube, you might not find much on Nebula for you.
Name an industry where a private corporation competes with a local government monopoly?
Denver seems pretty big… how much bigger were you wanting?

Who wrote this? I’m supposed to be upset that a bunch of big websites are lower on Google results? Why should anyone besides their shareholders care?
Edit: Oh, he co-founded the website hosting this article. So he does indeed have a vested personal interest.
This example was provided as an estimated upper limit - you could drive to basically the furthest-away big city within 60 hours. Other cities would be substantially less than that, because that’s an upper limit.
Driving from a small town on the western tip of NC… let’s say Franklin, NC, to Washington DC takes only 8 hours… but driving to Knoxville, TN or Atlanta, GA would only take you 2 hours.
If that drive takes you “days” by car, you might have an issue.
Oh, it’s a publicly-funded position? Then the drivers ought to work for free, right? Why, it’s practically welfare if the taxpayer is footing the bill! (/s I hope is obvious)
I mean… if nobody wants to do a job for the pay allotted, then the pay is by definition too low. You can make other changes that bring the acceptable pay range down (make kids not be assholes or something idk) but in the end it’s always about the pay at the end of the day.
I wonder if the foundation of the house would be convenient for this… that much concrete is equivalent to a cube of side length around 10 feet, which seems to at least be in the ballpark for the total amount of concrete in a foundation. I think?
Anytime one of these big projects has something offshore, I have to wonder whether it wouldn’t be more likely to be adopted if it were on land instead, if possible. Everything. EVERYTHING is more expensive when you’re putting it in the middle of miles of salt water.
That does kinda worry me. If I’m on a road trip, I don’t want to wait while the guy ahead of me stretches his legs and grabs a bite to eat before I can even start charging.
Thank you! I finally got my YouTube recommendations to show me only “Why X is great” videos instead of “X sucks and here’s why” videos. I kinda hope curating my Lemmy experience won’t be such a long-term project!
Same. I’m really putting myself out there, writing this comment! But it’s good for engagement.
To be fair, this just says that Reddit traffic is down. It doesn’t say where that traffic went. I assume that most people who reduced their Reddit usage didn’t replace it with Lemmy usage. Sucks for those people!
“The screen freezes every five minutes and requires fingerprint validation to continue”.
Wow… between this and the slow loading times I’d like to know what these users think is so important that they must use the internet to find it?
Interesting how different international standards are. 3-4°C seems like a big difference between the agencies!
I was wondering about this after I bought my brother a similar not-so-mini fridge from walmart and noticed that the insides didn’t feel quite as cold as a regular fridge. This makes me think I was just feeling a “warm spot”!
Why would a sponsor pay for an ad if they know nobody will watch? Its not magic money out of nowhere; the sponsor has to come out net positive or else they stop sponsoring.
