Guys, guys!!! I think I have figured out a solution. I call it "German AC"!
Illustration of Maxwell's demon from Wikipedia
By User:Htkym - Own work, CC BY 2.5, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=1625737

Labels have been added: Maxwell's demon is German AC, one gas chamber is inside, the other one outside.
The second panel says: The German AC only lets fast (= hot) molecules pass outside, thus lowering room temperature without creating surplus heat.

Maxwell's demon is a thought experiment to ostensibly disprove the second law of thermo dynamics. From wikipedia:
In the thought experiment, a demon controls a door between two chambers containing gas. As individual gas molecules (or atoms) approach the door, the demon quickly opens and closes the door to allow only fast-moving molecules to pass through in one direction, and only slow-moving molecules to pass through in the other. Because the kinetic temperature of a gas depends on the velocities of its constituent molecules, the demon's actions cause one chamber to warm up and the other to cool down. This would decrease the total entropy of the system, seemingly without applying any work, thereby violating the second law of thermodynamics.

i've never read Baudrillard. i just know about the basic outline of his arguments from memes. i'm hoping that, however distorted it is by the time it reaches me, his essential point remains intact.

the thing about traffic congestion is that it doesn’t cost money to solve it, but rather the opposite: solving it with congestion pricing *raises* money that’s because a critical mass of car trips are very low value and it’s essentially a coordination problem to get them off the road at scale

Took my first scooter ride in a while today (been doing Metro bike) and it’s so depressing what a missed opportunity that was for cities. We did to scooters everything we should have done to cars: - capped speeds with governors - refused to give curb space - made heavy pedestrian areas no go zones

I feel like I've spent today sorting through accusations of this guy being a groyper, only to find that those aren't based on anything. There isn't an indictment yet. The cops haven't handled this better, but seriously—posting without verification makes you no better than the right yelling "antifa."

To be honest, I think this is what some people--the people most likely to be interviewed by media-- mean when they say "the economy". They want services to be cheap because low wage workers have terrible outside options. Instacart and Uber being expensive was "the economy". Now it's better. 😖
