If you're doing it over an app, without the chance for the person you're dumping to respond, I see no risk of things turning nasty

I'm not an expert, but have used a real time kernel for scientific research, using rtxi. My understanding is that the real time threads allows the computations to occur in a deterministic amount of time. This is necessary if you want to quickly respond to changes in personal membrane voltage with injections of current, and don't want it to sometimes take longer to calculate how much current to inject.

I'm generally against the idea of planting as many trees as possible.

Trees are not very good carbon sinks because they decompose and burn. Also, there are also some ecological communities where adding trees makes the land a worse carbon sink.

Avoiding cutting down forests to build suburbs is something I can certainly get behind though.

Polls have a margin of error and election results have generally been within the 80% confidence interval 80% of the time.

It is true that when there are less polls (like in special elections) it's harder to get an understanding of the state of the race.

Polls have been remarkably accurate in the last few election cycles.

The "polls are wrong" talking point is a convenient way for politicians to ignore the will of the people. Trump has done this for a long time, and recently Biden has taken up this practice to pretend that the "Real Americans" think he is fit to be president for another 4 years.

So please don't repeat this talking point, or at least read a bit into historical accuracy of polls before you declare them bullshit.

Biden is absolutely not leading. State polling has him behind in every swing state. Nate Silver's model gives Biden a 30% chance of winning, slightly down from the debate.

They did this in California and Oregon, then the schools went to shit.

Also, property taxes are a good way to encourage density, which is necessary to fight climate change

In the US you sometimes hear that phones in class are necessary to see if your kids are OK in a school shooting scenario.

I think this isn't a good argument, since school shootings are rare, and it's unclear if each student having a phone would do more harm than good in that kind of situation.

I don't see the connection between neurodivergence and phones

Bikes are cheaper than cars

Short haul flights should probably be high speed train rides anyway

I've been using Rofi for a few years. I can't think of anything to look out for, pretty much does what it says on the tin.
