  • I would say it’s largely a problem of big cities being where everything has centralized these days, and said cities failing to provide enough housing and/or sufficiently good transportation in and out of the city.

    Britain and basically all countries need to stop spending money on useless roads that get backed up with traffic when 4 people want to use them at the same time, and instead invest the money in railways. London is so stupidly huge and important that the metro network should be like twice as large, and it should also have a network of express metro lines extending even further from the city as well as proper high speed rail connecting all the way to Glasgow.




  • For me it’s strictly based on “does this thing make me want to scream like an old horror movie victim”
    smol spiders i don’t give a shit about unless it looks like a tick in which case NOPE. For larger spiders it depends entirely on what kind it is, stuff like orb weavers get a polite relocation to my balcony where they can hopefully set up shop to catch yucky flies and we can proceed to merrily ignore each other, jumping spiders get an actively friendly relocation to the balcony mostly so i don’t accidentally squish them, and basically anything else gets the boot and tissue.

    Orb weavers really are the platonic ideal spider, you can literally just put two sticks on a plate and they’ll make a web there, then as long as you feed them they just keep sitting there indefinitely.



  • but like isn’t that the whole point of celsius? all you need to calibrate a C thermometer is some water: when it starts freezing it’s 0°C and when it’s boiling it’s 100°C, super simple and accessible.

    It’s not like “the estimated average human body temperature” is particularly accurate, and surely no matter what you mix into water it won’t magically boil at the same temperature regardless of air pressure?
