The great thing about bike patgs is all you have to do to make a road or street into a bikeway is decide that's what it's for now. And a protected bikeway made out off road lanes can be new paint and a jersey barrier. That's how New York has been making them.

Justice Alito claimed that he and the court foresaw the legal and actual consequences of their decision and what impact it would have on state laws, existing and otherwise. He chose this. He chose to kill somebody by taking away their rights, and now he has.

How long has it been since a capsule/spaceship has been depressurized for a spacewalk?

You're not going to believe this but Ball made all of the mirror ... except the mirror itself.

Dogs love pumpkin. Dogs love cinnamon.

It's a little more violent than that. It's a small nuke going off.

You can't roll a reflex save against elephant matter coming at you at the speed of light.

Why the speed of light? Because the amount of pressure from compressing the elephants into that small area is the energy of a small nuke.

10s of thousands of nothing. Hundreds of thousands isn't even enough that "economic growth" at the expense of increased costs and greater inequity would be a net benefit.

A complete Greenland slide-off would be an average sea level rise of about 7m, and is possible in our lifetimes as an extreme event (something like a fraction of a percent chance before 2100). If it happened it would be multiple events really, spread out across years or decades. Antarctic ice moving so its weight is no longer supported by the continent was too unlikely to include in models a few years ago, but the West Antarctic has been so active that I'd expect it to start showing up in estimates.
