By measuring them? You can independently measure particulate matter and noise levels then incorporate those measurements in your results. There's loud places with lower particulates and quiet places with more.

To get 1k/day from 2 mil you'd need an annual interest rate of close to 20% from your savings account. At a more reasonable 4% you'd get around 80k a year or over 200 a day, still a good amount. If you're using that to live on you'll want a bit more to beat inflation long term but it'll be a while before that's even noticeable.

The downside of copying your brain is that it's a copy, you'll have your original meat body and a separate mechanical body which minds which immediately start to diverge. They're both still you, but meatman gets no upgrades. You could destroy your meat body as part of the transfer but then it's reasonable to say you're dead with a robot that thinks it's you.

The closest you can get to a proper transfer would need an implant which works similar to how your body naturally replaces cells, the implant would gradually take over neurons until you have a fully mech brain which can be transplanted to a new body. You could argue that's still just a destructive copy but I think it's within most people's tolerance.

that the US is still ranked THIRD safest in the world for food

Source? This sounds like a pretty crazy claim so I tried to look it up, as far as I can tell there is no international food safety ranking. The closest I could find was the US coming thirteenth in food security according to gfsi but that's not the same thing at all.

If you want more information on a topic it's a good idea to read the article, it usually has more information than the headline alone.

Pedantry. Guising has Celtic origins, you don't need to live in the Americas to dress up for Halloween.

Guising predates the USA, you don't need to be American to dress up on Halloween.

To some extent, sure, but noise pollution is a much bigger problem in cities designed for cars compared to cities designed for people or public transport. If you're in a car-centric city chances are you're hearing much more car noise than all other city noise combined, to such an extent that it will negatively affect your health.

But that's an infrastructure problem, screaming at some random driver doesn't help anyone.

Too consistent imo. You'd expect a giant inflatable cat collapsing or being inflated to displace a few leaves. Both pictures also have exactly the same angle so for that to make sense someone would have had to set up a tripod to shoot a Halloween decoration, that feels odd. The real cat in the first picture looks like they're sunk too far into the ground too, could just be softer than it looks though.

To me it seems like the same base image with edits superimposed on top.

What problem are you trying to solve? There's only two reasons you'd want this, either you're trying to hide money as you enter a country, or you're holding bitcoin and want to pump up the price.

I've never seen that, could be true for some brands but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Most brands on a fresh roll would have a tab on the end of the tape anyway, after one use any marking on the inside of the roll wouldn't line up with the new end.

Huh? I literally just sent you two links about roadside walkways. Australia's one is under the header "Footpaths in road reservations", while technically it doesn't always need to contain a road, it does include the road and area around it. Here's a definition from a random Aus council I found with a quick search:

A road reserve is the public land outside your property boundary and generally includes the nature strip or verge, roadside drains or kerbing, footpath and roadway.

The UK one literally gives that advice beside a diagram of a footway beside a road while clearly marking the 2m recommendation on the diagram.

Personally I'm the same size wherever I'm walking, but I'd still prefer the extra space when I'm around cars rather than on a safe path, I'm not even sure what point you were trying to make?

a 36” sidewalk

So... About the minimum for a single person to walk with little leeway, normally in a safe indoor area with no car traffic?

36" is the absolute bare minimum required walkway space in the US by ADA to technically be wheelchair compliant in that a single wheelchair user might be able to use it, roughly half the minimum 1.8m clear width recommended by Australia's Department of Transport, and less than half the 2m minimum unobstructed walkway space recommended for pedestrians in low-traffic areas by the UK's department for transport. This is undeniably too narrow.

That road looks wide enough for about 4 cars, it's not a "waste" to surrender some of that to make it slightly less hostile to pedestrians.

We'll need an after picture too, I assume they're going to replace that concrete tightrope with one?

Got it, hotdog in bottom hole... Now what do I do with the mask?

Isn't that because it's Athena's shield though? Otherwise it's pretty easy to get around it.

You could use two mirrors like a mini periscope to look directly at her, since it's a double reflection you're double protected! Or maybe they cancel each other out. And what about prisms or lenses bending light, does that work as well as a reflection? Are people with glasses immune?

Fair point, here's a lower quality version of this:

This comment is very hard to parse. Is your complaint that Linux is worse because Windows screwed up your partitioning? If you're talking about partitioning you're already talking as a technical user, I'm not sure how Windows screwing up your partitions is evidence Linux less usable for non-technical people?

I can't say why people are using czar specifically but people have been called the "lord of X" or "Y king" practically forever without being literal kings or lords. It's just an emphatic way to say they're seen as powerful within a given space, it's not a claim that they're literally a Russian ruler.
