Does sending a drone count as "distribution"? So the most important question: have they attached a copy of the GPL with the drone?

Encyclopedias can just get complete. There are only so many topics that truly belong there, and there's only so much polish to do. So eventually you end up with people editing mostly articles about the recent/current events, and these are often controversial.

German universities are great for learning, but they are not the leaders in research. None of the German universities has a problem with running out of reserved parking spots for Nobel Prize winners that UCB has: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sfgate.com%2Fnews%2Far...

The university popularity is a self-reinforcing effect, but if you interrupt it, it can just disappear.

German universities were once the world leaders in physics research and social sciences. Then the Nazis happened, and the German university system never recovered.

Pakistan shmakistan... Saudi Arabia has the same laws.

TMI _had_ a hydrogen explosion (burn). The containment structures are designed with it in mind, and more modern reactors also have passive hydrogen recombiners.

Even without a containment structure, you're looking at volatiles escaping: radioactive iodine and cesium, mostly. Iodine is a non-issue within a couple of weeks, and cesium is not too dangerous more than a couple kilometers away from the plant. And all the modern reactor designs have a molten core catcher, so the fuel won't get into the watertable (like in Fukushima).

TLDR; if they build plants without containment, it still won't cause Chernobyl v2.0

The worst that can happen with modern nuclear reactors is Three-Mile Island: no casualties, at most minor radiation leaks, all the fuel contained within the designated structure.

A good way to flaunt your privilege, dude. Most people in London spend around 40 minutes to get to work. Of course, you might have lived in a small city.

This freedom IS available for an average American.

Car-oriented cities are indeed unpleasant when all you want is to drink/drug all day.

If you're a real estate developer, interested in despoiling the city and then fucking off to your lake-side mansion in Nevada.

Otherwise? It's worse in every regard: crime, housing prices, commute times, homelessness, public drug use, student achievements, quality of infrastructure, etc.

And there is not a single car in Vancouver, right?

The statistics are pretty clear. The percentage of bike trips in Vancouver has been stagnant around 8% for quite a while. Their 2040 target is a whopping 12%.

Feel free to fire a FOIA request, it's free. And no, there's nothing misaligned. It's the data from bike counters they put on bike lanes. And it's no wonder, Seattle is very hilly and biking in the rain and cold (i.e. most of the year) is not fun at all.

And I initially started suspecting that something is not right when I had to commute every day through a congested street, with literally _nobody_ passing me in the bike lane. That made the street congested in the first place.

A typical bike lane in Seattle removes a whole car lane, and sometimes _two_ lanes.

In the US, the people _are_ car-bros and car-girls. And it absolutely helped the US to become the leading economy. Car ownership unlocked the golden era of the US, and pivoting to urbanism (and its increasing misery) led to the never-ending downfall.

I'm sorry, I spilled my tea. Have you SEEN Seattle bike riders? I don't think I have ever seen a double bike here. I've seen riders with children, but only a few times.

And yet, you don't have any objections that are not based on feelings?

I provided you with actual data supporting my statements. Simple, verifiable data. Perhaps you should go outside of your bubble?
