Maybe, I'm not an expert in such things. But im not nearly as concerned as to what technique they use in the city borders itself, not much Forrest or nature inside the city.

@louisrcouture

@xarvos

Either way, categorizing people by the shade of their skin seems like a horrible way to do it.

@shoshin

Additional buslanes would have a much larger footprint in terms of area than a tram.. as for a subway, they still need vent ports so in the end the footprint would probably be the same as a tram.

@louisrcouture

@shoshin

I have to wonder though, just passing through isnt an issue... how much of an impact would it have? I mean if we are talking about a pillar every few feet but the surrounding area can remain mostly wild, then is it all that impactful?

I would think of all the means of transportation a tram might have the smallest impact... A road or train rail has a much larger footprint than an elevated tram.

@louisrcouture

@matrix Is white a color?

@louisrcouture

Agreed, but if shoshin's point is true that it cuts through ancient forests, then why hasnt it been rerouted to go through younger forests?

@shoshin

@cwebber I do not envy you...

@shoshin If that is true then yea, that is off no one is opposing the route of the project.

@shoshin The idea of tying yourself to a tree was not linked to trees in general. They did this in protest of cutting down ancient redwood trees specifically.

For ordinary trees they are against deforestation of course, but projects that plant new trees to make up for trees they cut down (which is very typical) is usually the sort of project they will support, particularly when that work is to develop public transit that had a positive effect on the health of our environment.

@Phil Really the conclusion is "parents are fed up"... seems to me the conclusion is parents are scared of COVID.

@trinsec they make sense to me. But they seem very rare.

@bluejay And yes you are welcome to post opinion. This post isnt against server rules in anyway. Just pointing out the very low quality of the citation. As I said the conclusion is actually correct in my opinion despite the poor citation.

Interesting, of the 27 people who voted 100% have been to a movie or theater with intermission!

@bluejay Yes, we are. In general people who arent experts in the subject they are publishing in are not credible.

You realize making MSNBC or CNN your standard for quality is pretty much just you saying you dont have quality references :)

@bluejay

It is 1) not peer reviewed (a pre-publication) and 2) and one of the authors is a high school student (not sure how much of it he wrote)...

Pretty weak choice for your cherry picking efforts today.

That said while it is a poor choice of paper to cite its conclusions are likely correct as of the last few months where the delta strain became dominant.

@SystemSock yea most synapses arent electrical synapses but rather neurotransmitters. I thought the same thing when I posted it but didnt really feel the need to nitpick, but you are right of course.

@Acer from the data alone, you can not. If you know the distribution of the data being sampled, however, then given a sampling of that data you can calculate the chance that it wasnt sampled randomly.

@Hyolobrika I didnt say all were deflationary, I said many were.

@Hyolobrika yes stability is strongly linked to how much a currency is used. Couple that with the fact that many currencies are deflationary and it stands to, in the future, be more stable than traditional money
