Not if they wake you up early.

My father can say that in the language of sparrow owls and can attract several female ones per hour.

ChaoticNeutralCzech , to Work Reform in UAW loses Alabama union vote seen as bellwether for organizing autoworkers in the South

Why is there even a union vote? What is stopping some workers from banding together in a club, increasing their leveraging power as more choose to join?

By that logic, should not there be a schwa after the L too? That ('tǝnǝlǝ) would be absurd.

Really? I think it’s supposed to be silent, not a schwa. Did you mean “tuh-nl”?

It’s so tiny yet they expect you to own 3 TVs. Is this a Freedom^TM^ thing I’m too European to understand?

3.2 miles

That’s 5 km! Such a (relatively) dense development should be the first housing next to the park, second only to amenities and public transit access to the public space.

Well, the houses could be shorter (square), which is a more practical shape, and have the cost benefit of only two outside walls, with the rest of the plot being a backyard. And the houses could now include a garage with a liveable space above. Its advantages as opposed to a driveway are obvious: the car is protected from weather and crime, and owners of small or no cars can repurpose the extra space for DIY or other purposes. Also, a backyard, as opposed to a front yard, incentivizes non-lawn use, so the street appears less green from the front but actually benefits biodiversity. Backyards also feel more private, especially with tall fences.

So yeah, I can get behind a 2-floor house with the footprint 55 m² (or 600 ft², don’t be afraid of superscripts) with green space, as long as half of it is not a concrete driveway and I can do some gardening (or even grow “private plants”).

They take up space that could be used to expand the house to liveable dimensions. And the lots are 6 m wide, enough for on-street parking.

Pretty sure most don’t have a market square with mixed zoning and trams that get them into the dense city centre in 10 minutes every 5 minutes.

I suppose a shed in the woods is not impossible but a lot of factors need to be just right or it gets way too expensive and/or uncomfortable. In Europe, most forests are publicly accessible and there are various tiny settlements but I suppose that’s not the case in many American states.

They could actually be liveable if you removed the driveway and yard, and added a frequent bus service on every other street, as well as a tram line/subway stop in the neighborhood, and a market square with mixed zoning. It could be more thermally efficient, too, with the houses touching. Or just build blocks of flats at this point, they are cheap, dense and not as uncomfortable as shotgun homes. However, I am sure that US regulations would never allow that.

ChaoticNeutralCzech , to aww in How a Mongolian dresses their child for the cold.

There is only one (1) child in the picture. This is a reference to Mongolia being the most sparsely populated country on Earth.

ChaoticNeutralCzech , to Politics in .io considered harmful

In fact, in a way, the last thing I want is to tarnish the .io domain.

Lol. Too bad you’re doing just about that.

Yes, high-profile hate crimes have been committed but they are tangentially related to the domain at best. The UK is not going to consider better treatment of the Chagosian people just because they might lose a few thousand £ from domain renewals. Get this story rolling in Britain, ask MPs and candidates about the islands…
