Aside from emissions, cycling is also healthier, safer, more pleasant for everyone else.

I see it less of a question of "where to put the blame?" as more "in what environment we want to live?".

Cycling puts also less money in the pockets of bigger polluting companies, and you can still blame them on the ride for all the good reasons.

This may work in the Netherlands, but in my country (Canada) where it’s a 2 hour drive to the next city, it simply isn’t feasible.

It's probably safe to assume that the vast majority of bike trips in the NL are intra-city, not inter-city. Quoted from "Cycling Facts 2018", released by the NL government:

• Of all trips involving a distance up to 7.5 kilometres, one-third are made by car and one-third are made by bicycle.
• Of all trips involving a distance ranging from 7.5 to 15 kilometres, 70 per cent are made by car and 15 per cent are made by bicycle.

• Between 2005 and 2015, the use of bicycles in first-mile transport to the main Dutch train stations (top 16 of embarking and disembarking passengers) has increased from 36 per cent to 44 per cent.
• Bicycle use for last-mile transport also shows some (slight) growth: from 10 per cent in 2005 to 14 per cent in 2015. This upward trend has been boosted by the introduction of rental bicycles for season-ticket holders: in 2008, such rental bicycles were used for 0.5 million rides, versus 1.9 million in 2015 and an impressive 3.2 million in 2017.

It doesn't really matter how much non-city is between your cities, you can bike in town and use public transport for long distances. If the infrastructure has been invested in.

I do, however, wish that my city was much more bicycle friendly and we had easier and cheaper options for bikes that could be enclosed from the weather.

Yes, that's key!

Interesting that it's possible with RES. But it requires the user to copy paste some code.

A better automated approach:

PowerDeleteSuite. Smooth process, can recommend. AMA if you have troubles or questions.

Also allows you to replace posts/comments with another text, for example hints where to go instead.

Whenever you see inserted words, please imagine an awkwardly moving but very colorful parrot squawking it.

I like technology, I collect technology subscriptions! Here's my current list:

• !Technology@beehaw.org

Awesome, thanks for your work! Bookmarked.

Fast and light weight is great.

Feedback: I accidentally clicked on links. The clickable area of for example "Lemmy.world - lemmy.world" extends across the whole width, although most of it is apparently empty space. Either make the whole width look like a button or make the part unclickable which does not look clickable ;)

It would also be very practical to include discovery links, like !lemmy.world@lemmy.world. The smaller the home instance of a user is, and the more niche the community they search, the higher the chance they must discover it first using this bang link.

To add to your list, here are other similar projects:

• https://browse.toast.ooo/communities
• https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances#all-lemmy-instances
• https://lemmy.directory/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/All/sort/Hot/page/1

lemmy.directory seems to be down for a day or so. It's a regular lemmy instance dedicated to subscribing to all communities in all instances, in order to replicate something like /r/all. Which means you can search from their site to find communities. If it's up.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch", they said :(

To pull more of the article into the comment section:

The Republican Study Committee (of which some three-quarters of House Republicans are members) on Wednesday released its desired 2024 budget, in which the party boldly declares its priority to eliminate the Community Eligibility Provision, or CEP, from the School Lunch Program. Why? Because “CEP allows certain schools to provide free school lunches regardless of the individual eligibility of each student.”

Of note is that the CEP is not even something every school participates in; it is a meal service program reserved for qualifying schools and districts in low-income areas. The program enables schools that predominantly serve children from low-income backgrounds to offer all students free breakfast and lunch, instead of means-testing them and having to manage collecting applications on an individual basis. As with many universal-oriented programs, it is more practically efficient and, as a bonus, lifts all boats. This is what Republicans are looking to eliminate.

It’s the kind of provision that many would want every school to participate in. Why not guarantee all our children are well fed as they learn and think about our world and their place in it, after all?

Technically a good point, but the text directly after your quote ... :

Yes, some free meals might go to kids whose parents, albeit from a low-income area, might be able to pay for it. But is that so much of a problem?

There are costs for checking for individual eligibility:

• more administration
• potential social stigma
• some kids with "bad parents" who happen to be "too rich" might have no meal

I'm also unhappy this is fought on the back of the kids when it's actually about the money of the parents.

No one was saying cost was not an option but it was a ludicrous cost

Yes, the "fuck you price" as a vlogger recently called it. A price you put up if you actually don't want to make business with someone, but can't say that openly without losing face. So you put up a price no one in their right mind is willing to pay to get what you want (they leave), without technically excluding anyone, so you don't lose face. Glad how this backfired.

Thanks, subscribed. Adding the discovery link:

You can use the remote control to manually target artillery. Much longer range.

Other than that, spidertrons!

Or have a friend who enjoys fighting and mind other things, my preferred approach :D

using train limits and circuits to calculate the limits

This makes me happy. This is the way :)

Yes, 8 wagon trains are quite big. 1-4 goes a long way. 2.7k is well doable with 1-4.

I also want a single fueling (maybe adding multiple as the factory grows) station that is visited by all trains.

So each train has a schedule of 3 stops? That means they will visit the fuel station much more often than necessary, which creates more traffic than necessary. When you get to 50 trains or more, traffic and jams can start to cause issues which are hard to solve. You could reduce the issue by making longer schedules (load, unload, load, unload, ..., refuel).

Another option would be to incorporate the refueling into large stations. For example, ore trains can be refueled at the smelter unload. You can have one dedicated fuel train delivering fuel, and the ore trains can have a simple schedule (load, unload).

I’m trying to be a bit more organized in the creation of this one

If you enjoy making blueprints and planning ahead, make a rail book. Stations, straight, turn, T- and X-junctions. Make sure they align when rotated. Grid aligned can make sense, but isn't necesssary.

Or grab a book from the internet.

It also helps to move smelting / production sites to rail based outposts as soon as possible. This way, your main base won't need to become messier and messier as you progress.
