The most efficient would be 3 major east/west lines, Boston to Seattle, DC to San Francisco, and Atlanta to LA, connected by a series of north/south lines to form a grid. On the east coast, just extend the Acela down to Atlanta.

Ultraviolet@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Ted Cruz begs Americans stop being so nasty to Elon MuskEnglish24·5 个月前I don’t think people are nasty enough to him. Until he’s a fucking hermit, too ashamed to show his face in public again because he knows everyone despises him, we need to be nastier.
Jury nullification isn’t an enumerated power, it’s an emergent result of jury deliberations being secret and their verdict being legally binding.

Ultraviolet@lemmy.worldto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•What If We Made Advertising Illegal?English41·6 个月前How exactly do you define advertising? An overly broad definition would forbid, for example, a dentist from putting a sign in front of their office saying they’re a dentist.

My conspiracy theory is it was chosen to deliberately harm the optics of environmentalists. Something with minimal useful impact and maximum inconvenience would turn people against the whole idea of environmentally friendly alternatives.
That’s not how that works. It’s not a DnD sphere of annihilation, it’s an infinitely dense point of matter.
Ultraviolet@lemmy.worldto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Advertisement for the right wing AfD party in GermanyEnglish3·8 个月前I’m sure if they take power, their first order of business would be to legalize all Nazi symbolism and drop the “we’re just run of the mill conservatives” facade entirely.
Ultraviolet@lemmy.worldtoUSpolitics@lemmy.world•USA potentially switching to absolute executive power14·8 个月前That doesn’t matter. The only reason the law has the ability to stop anyone from doing anything is that if you refuse for long enough, eventually, someone will show up with a gun to force the issue. If he knows that won’t happen, he can act with impunity.
