I think also bans "coal-rolling" ... If that wasn't already illegal.

I'm guessing this is a "leopards ate my face" situation for a lot of people.

Does anyone know where I can find it?

Levels of ambient air pollution according to mode of transport: a systematic review in c/science@mander.xyz
[–] swope@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Interpretation
Proximity to traffic and high air interchange increased the exposure to air pollution of commuters using motorised transport. Larger inhalation rates and commuting time increased inhaled dose among active commuters. Benefits of active commuting from physical activity are larger than the risk from an increased inhaled dose of fine particles.

I've often wondered about the net effect. Interesting.

The FAA has issued a final rule that will require most larger aircraft built after Jan. 1, 2028, to meet new efficiency standards designed to reduce their carbon emissions per passenger mile. The new rule will cover all subsonic jets with a maximum takeoff weight of more than 12,500 pounds and turboprops with an MTOW of 19,000 pounds.

Recently our county sheriff put out an Amber Alert (a forced alert on all mobile devices) but the obfuscated link resolved to Twitter.

I wonder what portion of the public saw the Twitter login page and just closed the tab, never to see the details of the child abduction.

What's some common knowledge that you just found out recently? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] swope@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Maybe this more of a misheard lyrics thing, but for a long time I thought "noxious gas" had to do with nitrogen oxides (NOx), and then spread to other metaphorical applications like "noxious weeds" and so on.

It should surprise no bros that Southern California still wants to add one more lane to fix traffic.

After the last expansion project, traffic on I-405 only got worse. Metro wants to try again.

Under the proposal, Metro will “add and shift Measure R (Metro 2008 countywide sales tax) Multimodal Highway Subregional Program funds to various projects, mostly freeway lanes/ramps expansion and arterial streets/intersections expansion,

Signs of life beyond Earth could take forms that are clearly artificial – radio or light signals, or even evidence of large-scale engineering.

I know this is pretty basic for many of you, but I'm happy to see this from NASA.
