I'm quoting the title. It's a subset of the sentence. I'm sure you're 100% accurate and logical with everything you say.

I guess Seaside, FL is technically not "car-free", but the community is built with tiny streets and is designed to be walkable, with cars discouraged.

Where in the article does it say it's the first car-free neighborhood ever? It just says it's the first in America, it even has a nod to how European cities tend to be built around walking in contrast to American cities.

The community did this innovative thing called installing shade and keeping roadways narrow. It heavily reduces the urban heat island effect.

They also did this brand new thing called putting stores within a 5 minute walk of housing which reduces resident's heat exposure.

Better get into a solar oven that also produces waste heat so you can avoid wearing a hat.

Arizona is hot AF. Walking in that heat is going to be rough. Let's see how that goes.

Yeah. Left such a bad taste in my mouth so quickly that it was all I could do to make myself take-back my down-vote for the sake of how much I hate car-centric living.

Saying this is the first "car free neighborhood" is like saying America is the first place to be built with a grid.

People say Brazil is corrupt but these laws are top-notch. It even eclipses the EU's

It isn't a law, it's good communal parenting.

Parents in Greystones chose to delay smartphone access until their children reached the age of 12 as a result of the town-wide agreement. Capatina praised the simplicity and effectiveness of the initiative: “It has completely solved the problem.”

The code’s voluntary nature hasn’t diminished its impact. Despite some opting out, sufficient participation has developed a norm in which being phone-free is accepted. Contrary to misconceptions, Harper clarified their stance: “We’re not against technology…just asking them to wait till secondary school.”

How it works

The process begins with the body being wrapped in a biodegradable shroud, typically silk or wool, before being placed in a pressurized chamber with hot water and potassium hydroxide. Heated to 150 degrees Celsius (300 degrees Fahrenheit) for up to 90 minutes, the solution gradually dissolves soft tissue, leaving only the bones. Those are rinsed at 120 degrees Celsius (248 degrees Fahrenheit), dried, and pulverized into a coarse powder using a machine called a cremulator. The remains are then returned to the family in an urn, much like traditional cremation ashes.#

I guess that's more like how I'd want to go. I assume something like this is necessary for sanitary and logistical reasons, though I would like even more to just have my body dumped in the ground, buried and a tree planted on the spot.

This sounds neat but I am frustrated that it didn't cover the mechanism by which organic waste helps with de-icing. Is it a chemical reaction? Or something to do with the fibers? Even WSUs article doesn't really explain it.https://news.wsu.edu/news/2019/12/02/sustaining-roads-grape-agricultural-waste/

i don't have time to count.

Oh boo fkn hoo

Turkmenistan is that reclusive nation

Hopefully Sydney will join Berlin and Mumbai in adopting this technology. Their network of cross-harbour ferry routes could benefit from something like this.

You can visit parts of the restoration on Santa Cruz island. Rats if I remember were an invasive species who tended to burrow into turtle eggs. But it seems like the islands solved that problem too. Turtle power!

i know that's something of a meme, but just for folks who didn't read the article: this is DMT-assisted therapy, all participants went to psychotherapy as part of the trial

a legally blind 78-year old man who, immediately after surgery, was able to once again distinguish his family members and read numbers on an eye chart

So maybe not 20/20, but way better than nothing.

I wonder if synthetic eyes could ever surpass natural ones. Could we have optical zoom? IR/ UV vision?
