Durch große Fenster sind Astronauten zu sehen, die im Inneren an Tischen sitzen. Außerhalb des Cafés befinden sich weitere Astronauten im freien Raum; zwei spielen Karten, ein anderer liest ein Buch.

“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.” — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain (re-elected 6 times)

Layoff notices at JPL are going out today.

About 11% of the Lab, or 550 people, are being let go.

I'm thinking of my friends and colleagues there, some of whom will still be employed after today and some of whom won't.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with this.

"Make cities safe and fun for kids to run around and play in" is a pretty good guiding light for urban planning

A perfect illustration of which "lifestyle" actually imposes itself on public space, public safety, and the public purse.

I am definitely with you on the need for enforcement. Even police cars commonly park in bike lanes where I am at ...

Sorry I have not watched the clip. In the strange world where I live (USA) ebike is used equally for things that self propel a bit or fully.

I found this history fascinating, especially how the US under Bush I a) pushed to create the IPCC to center government representatives, not scientists, in UN climate action; b) used the IPCC to block binding emission targets and carbon taxes on rich countries, which seemed imminent in 1988.
