If anything the way the cops responded when I've been the victim or witness of crime is why I'm so critical of them.

A bit later in the reply thread someone contests this on the grounds that the New Deal couldn't have possibly been good for the country in any way, in fact prolonged the Depression, and it was only WWII that brought the US out of it. You know, the massive industrial investment from the Federal government, the jobs program on an unprecedented scale, and the closest the US ever came to being a command economy.

Is "unalive" a thing because people are afraid they're posts on social media will be algorithmically hidden? I thought it was a trigger warning thing.

Yeah, that and crossing out words and using the asterisk and poo poo. I think tiktok genuinely does ding an account for using them but Meta and Twitter isn’t as touchy. I’ve always wanted to see a comparison between the platforms, as well as what words get an account hidden and what words mysteriously* do not. If it was a trigger warning thing, most people would just to TW: [whatever the TW is about] or similar. *it is not a mystery

I love having a non-trivial amount of the English language being filtered by privately owned, purposefully opaque algorithms with no oversight, and with increasing use of black box ML "AI", no ability to do oversight at all. I love it especially when that's largely young adults, teenagers, and children who have integrated these services into their social networks to a degree millennials never could with always on communication/spy robots. Too bad the solution is the government doing things that aren't terrible, which is impossible.

Aramoro posted:My wife still makes fun of me for taking photos of Yellow cabs with steam coming out if the street. That the real image of new york though. Leaking steam pipes. Some cities had an actual decent idea long ago to have huge central boilers run by the city, that would send hot water and steam around the city to various buildings for heat, power, sterilization apparatus, etc etc, instead of each building needing to have their own boiler. Works great when the system is new, but can become a nightmare decades later when the system becomes rickety and the underground space has become a nightmare warren of criss-crossing systems in varying states of access and repair. In huge cities like NY, some steam breaks will simply never be fixed, as the break is in location virtually impossible to access in modern times and would require digging up the entire block, shutting down the subways/water/electricity, and cost a billion dollars.

Similar forms of decentralized central heating also occur in northern Europe, in some cases the steam water is actually the cooling loop for a power plant or similar, making their waste heat suddenly valuable and reclaimed for a useful purpose rather than just tossed out the window.

Where I live district heating has been converting from steam to liquid water, which serves several purposes: The water carries more heat per volume, can be much cooler which leads to less heat loss, and is much easier to handle (no condensation problems, leaks are much easier to handle). The water is heated by a waste incineration plant, or a gas power plant, or a big fuckoff boiler (35MW (!)), depending on grid conditions, with a 30 000m³ hot water buffer. And in the future, by industrial scale heat pumps. Basically, the system harvests industrial waste heat for heating, which is cool and rad and should be in use everywhere.

Centralized, surely? Here in Norway there's a bunch of different variants, in Oslo there's multiple different centralized heating networks reusing waste heat from stuff like data centers, burned garbage, and sewage. They're generally hot water or glycerine(?) based though, not steam. In my hometown (and a number of other small towns and counties), they have giant heat exchangers/heat pumps in the ocean that heats/cools down a network of glycerine tubes, to transport energy around. Homes nearby will have heat pumps/reversible ACs connected to it instead of needing external units. And they can shift the energy around, during summer when people are cooling their homes, they'll use the waste heat to heat up the pools in the county's swimming hall.

Visited Paris in 2015 and ended up in almost exactly the same situation, but we spent 2 hours at the army museum to see napoleon's tomb and he only got 5$ from me. Thought it was a bit strange when he ghosted me just before the gift shop, but never thought twice about it until reading your post.

Could it be that they work with the museum owner and split the ticket and gift shop sales? It seems like a really inefficient way to drive people to your museum. It's not likely, but I'm struggling to see an angle aside from your two stories being a strange coincidence.
