Colorado's Bold New Approach to Highways -- Not Building Them

Colorado 2021 law says all new projects must reduce greenhouse gas emissions. MA, NY, MD are considering similar laws.

Some inspiration for @americawalks @TheWarOnCars @nomorefreeways?

#FunFact: "A recent analysis showed that more than half of $1.2 trillion enabled by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 will be spent on highway expansion and resurfacing."

More fun #Chicken facts:

These chickens are giving me the side-eye. The closest ones look at me with their right eye, the ones further away with their left eye.

This is because the right eye is nearsighted and the left eye is far-sighted - so when they get closer, the head switches sides.

Chickens can also see UV light, so they perceive more of the spectrum than humans, but they have extremely poor nightvision and thus go to bed (roost) early.

Ein "Coronaler Massenauswurf" hat nix mit verschleimten Husten bei einem Vireninfekt zu tun. :blobcatgiggle:
Stattdessen ist es eine Blubberblase auf der Sonne, welche Plasma ausspuckt. Dieses sorgt für hübsche aber auch dafür, dass anderswo Lichter ausgehen können.

This morning, I heard a bit about Warsaw uprising during WWII, and I realised that Warsaw sounds like "War-sav !" in Breton language, which means "Get up !" and thus I found this highly accurate.

By the way, the German word for "mullet" (the hairstyle) is "Vokuhila" (foh-coo-HEE-luh), and it's short for "vorne kurz, hinten lang" which literally means "short at the front, long at the back".

And no, this is not an April Fools' joke, it's already 12:08am on April 2 here in Germany :P

Einst traten die an, mit dem Slogan:
"Ein neues für !"

Aber wie würde denn ein "Deutschland Linux" tatsächlich auasehen?

Ich behaupte: es existiert bereits!
In Form einer oder -Distribution.

Klar, es müsste sicherlich für die Verwaltungen in Bund, Ländern und Gemeinden angepasst werden.

(von den vielen tausenden Fach-Anwendungen mal abgesehen)

Aber nein, wurde rückabgewickelt, andere Linux-Entwicklungen ebenfalls aufgegeben, zu Gunsten von ... Microsoft.

Wie überzeugend sind eigentlich deren Geldkoffer?

Und warum ist Deutschland / Europa nicht in der Lage, ein Gegengewicht zu den amerikanischen "Big Playern" aufzubauen (seit Jahrzehnten)?

So when I tell y'all I've got to go get my son at MTU in Houghton, MI, it should be no surprise that I'll drive 8 hours - one way - and still be in Michigan. (Houghton is that 2nd to last stop at the very northern part of the upper peninsula on that map)
