It’s not actually that wrong. Depends on the date. I was born in 1995, but I am not 30. So for tomorrow, 2010 is 14 years ago. But yesterday is 15.

He probably has an effect, but the drop in numbers predate him by quite a bit. The largest impact is very likely financial and they are right about how vegas financing has changed.
Gavin (@gavinneedham.bsky.social) reply parent
People have stopped going to vegas before trump. It’s largely financial for why people aren’t going.
Gavin (@gavinneedham.bsky.social)
People want to blame Trump but the decline does appear to predate him, and is largely based on financial factors. Higher costs, increased nickel and diming, lower service, lower disposable income. Each of those is a major factor specifically in *vegas* decline.

9 miles is the Statue of Liberty to the north end of Central Park. Bottom tip of Manhattan to 142 st. Big Ben to Croydon. For a skinny wind turbine, you can barely see it. This is a perfect example of astroturfing.

The final land assessment was based on a height of 740’, 140 taller than the space needle. 9 miles from the space needle is a little north of SEA, and just south of Boeing field. Barely visible.

It’s definitely possible. Space needle is only 180m tall and the tallest onshore wind turbine in the world is 260m tall. www.powermag.com/worlds-large...

Gentrification is what we call it when demand exceeds supply. It is not caused by bike lanes. The answer is not to suppress demand by enshittifying cities, or to justify endangering & killing people outside of cars as a rent control mechanism, but to increase supply.

This is appalling, criminal, and the GOP plan for everywhere: block cheap renewables in favor of expensive gas turbines. It won't even provide enough power, there's a 3-5 year backlog for turbines. We'll all pay far higher electricity bills to be sicker and to do more environmental damage.

Paris has a huge network of variable speed limits where they lower it in times of high pollution. Don’t know how effective the enforcement is.
Gavin (@gavinneedham.bsky.social) reply parent
Paris needs to eliminate as many cars as possible. A weird weather phenomenon can occur where a cloud of smog just sits on the city for days on end. This is a view of the Eiffel Tower in 2015 from the Tour Montparnasse observation deck.

Trump dying in office after Biden lived through his term would be such an indictment of the press. Made “Biden Old” the top story, treating it as an uncovered secret, a scandal. Then lamented not covering it even more. All while treating “Trump Old” as a nonstory. Because he’s loud and lies a lot.

I’m realizing that when Trump actually dies we’re going to be inundated with milquetoast chastisement from democratic leadership that it’s beneath us to cheer someone dying just because we disagree with him, and think about how his family feels, and now is a time for the country to unite.
