Denver isn't great with public transport either. There's at least a minimal light rail system and buses go pretty much everywhere, so that's the good part, but the city is so sprawled out that unless your destination is a direct route you're looking at an hour or more to exclusively use public transport. And that's really the main city. Start getting out into the expanded metro area and there's not many choices except for a handful of spur rail or bus lines.

It's a lot more than many American cities, especially on paper, but in practice it's pretty rough to use as a primary transport.

Classic case of know your audience. I don't think this is going to be a particularly unpopular opinion here. I know my personal anecdote doesn't mean everyone else agrees with me, but myself and most people I know with social media have dramatically backed off. I think if it weren't for fb shoving strangers and paid content in my face, my feed would be dead. As it stands I only even log in for my bootleg weather guy's posts.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise

Ok

Those are rotating jet turbines. To my limited knowledge there's no way to just stop them. They wind down even if they had turned them off. The very first article I found searching his name showed him approach a jet that was slowly moving across the tarmac, which obviously means the turbines were turning and not going to just immediately lock up if turned off.

I don't even know that the pilots would've seen him from the footage I saw in the one article I looked at.

According to the article, this isn't even recapturing CO2. It's grabbing plant/decomposable waste before it rots, turning it into these dense bricks, and burying it under ground. Like, collecting corn husks from farmers. This feels stupid to me and like a big gimmick.

At the time of this comment, 3 down voters. Who are these people? Anti foie gras people to the point of it being even mentioned gets a down vote? Heavy drinkers that hate French food? Ducks or geese that have opposable thumbs?

I guess that's a caption not a "what's going on" but I'm sticking with it

Book bans all the way down

I'm not really answering that question as much as adding a recommendation for another author, so hopefully you don't mind.

Check out the Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin. Hugo and nebula awards were awarded for novels in the trilogy, and I tore right through them. She has a short story collection that I read first and it really hooked me in. Such a wide variety of worlds, peoples, and consciousness she's able to bring to life. The title doesn't make you think "sci Fi shorts" but I assure you it is, and fantastic! "How Long 'til Black Future Month?"
