Another point is that cars, car infrastructure, and car oriented development is one of the single most wasteful ways to use land. Building smarter cities with alternative transit systems, mixed use areas, and actually using all 3 dimensions like many newer cities in China could protect so much habitat from needlessly being destroyed. There's hardly any truly wild land left on the east coast, it's hard to tell what things used to look like now that practically everything is covered in suburbs and strip malls.

It said support was bipartisan, which if you know anything about Michigan conservatives and Whitmer its pretty shocking they'd agree on anything

Poor kid. 2 weeks of his schooling disrupted over complete bs. Dress code is already mostly bs, but leave it to Texas to take it the nth degree and dictate hair length. Not even in Utah do they have such draconian rules on hair length.

This is all I want. I'll settle for an iPhone when apple fully complies with EU regulations. Once they officially allow third party app stores I'll be interested, and at that point I wouldn't know the difference between the two

I can see this going wrong with steam proton if each install gets it's own wine config, simply reinstalling or updating might look like a new machine

I am absolutely fucking loving this game. The split screen coop is incredible, albeit it needs some work. Honestly one of the best game me and my SO have played in a long, long time and by far the most immersive campaign we've ever been able to play together.

I'm playing on Linux and there are only a few issues I've come across: local multiplayer is disabled by default and requires an environment variable to enable, also there seems to be a memory leak after playing for a few hours where fps drops pretty dramatically. Other than that I don't think there's much of a difference between windows and pc.

It's honestly sad that these people would rather hold on to the little power they have than retire and spend the little time they have left with family.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but coal powered plants have caused more cancer than any of those events on their own and when operated safely to modern standards they have a very low to no risk of release whereas coal plants release pollutants by design. Nuclear waste is in a solid state so it's far easier to dispose of underground vs coal which immediately gets put into the atmosphere

This sounds like a slam dunk separation of church and state case. I've seen a lot of bs from the LDS since moving to Utah, from liquor licenses to psychiatric care, etc. I do not trust them to responsibly hand out welfare to those that need it. If they were giving out these funds directly to the state with no strings attached, fine, but it appears that they don't and they are in control of how the aid is given, and maybe even who receives it which is hugely problematic even if they help non-mormons.

Anyone defending this as "fiscally responsible" are idiots that have no idea how this church works or how our country was meant to work.

Honestly, that would be great news, and I hope you know many Americans would support deregulation of zoning laws for exactly this effect. A drop in housing prices is exactly what we need. People treating home ownership as an investment are the problem, home ownership should be more like owning a car: it's a commodity, not an investment. We should not be subsidizing poor financial decisions, I feel bad for everyone wrapped up in it, but ultimately the system we're in has been broken for a long, long time

I moved to Utah and a lot of towns cities straddle mountains like this where the town is in the valley next to the mountains. It's very cool, but Id take forests over a view. I find being surrounded by woods much more comforting than high desert with a view but I guess that just depends on where you grew up.
