But a significant portion of funds are often allocated at the state or federal level from various grants. There’s nothing stopping the federal government from setting up a “fix potholes” grant - if there was a proper infrastructure bill, this would a part of it. Of course, the incentive structures that dominate modern decision making at the upper levels will never see it hair without major changes.

Humans definitely lean towards the latter than the former

Free Tube is an option

I dunno, seems to have worked out for the chillis - there’s more of them now than ever before

While swans are mostly monogamous, there are instances where they aren’t as well: https://chipperbirds.com/swans-monogamy/

Of course, if monogamy is an ideal to be strived towards, swans do do a much better job than humans.

While some people don’t vote out of apathy, others are a target of indirect disenfranchisement that prevents the working poor from voting.

Ah, but the question is, is this a moral universe? Or an apathetic universe?

Absolutely - DOGE is illegal, and needs to be reined in, if not flat out abolished - however, unless the congress actually gets its act together, I think the federal government agencies will continue to be gutted.

And to be fair, while DOGE is nothing but a bunch of lying fucks, they are in fact targeting the military too- they’ve demanded the pentagon cut their budget by 8%.

Ah, the White Nationalism to Eugenics to Nazism pipeline is alive and well, it seems.

Donald Trump’s Best, Biggest Country in the World, the Biggest, Juiciest Country there is, you know it, folks, No Illegals Allowed, No Fentanyl, All the Guns! And Covfefe!

molecular biologists rolling their eyes

And on a more serious note, considering how much of science is doing admin, attempting to get grants, and data science, almost every scientist is very, intimately familiar with maths.

I don’t remember for certain, it was a while ago, but I believe that Uber penalises drivers who cancel too many rides

Bengaluru, India, set up something similar. It’s called Namma Bengaluru, and it’s usually much easier to get rides here than on Uber or Ola (their local Uber competitor) since all the money goes to the driver instead of having to split it. However, I believe it’s open source instead of a worker owned co-op.

Pinching off a leaf seems icky, but fallen leaves are fair game.

For politicians, all publicity is good publicity.

For a second, I thought the image was of sweet and sour chicken with chives xD
