It’s for sure a lot. Maybe the Epa is counting the water that so many Americans spend watering our trademark huge monoculture lawns so they can stay green regardless of drought/heat wave conditions. Some homes have almost industrial scale sprinkler systems just to accomplish this, although I’m not confident even that would get you up to 400 gallons
It was in his recent interview with Pod Save America
All three state supported VA rail routes are on this map, along with the Cardinal, the Crescent, and the I-95 Amtrak routes. The S-Line isn’t, but it also doesn’t exist yet. Same with the Commonwealth Corridor. VRE shares tracks with Amtrak, so it is there, but does not have any visible effect on this map.
It’s not just Amtrak, you can see Metra, LIRR, Metro North, and MBTA routes on the map around their respective cities. And I’m not convinced there are hundreds of regional rail services in America, maybe if you count heritage railroads, but even then I think you won’t be getting too far above 100 and those don’t actually take people from point A to point B generally, so it’s arguable that they count as passenger rail service
Not that old. Between when Katrina wiped out the New Orleans-Jacksonville route in 2005 and when they partially restored the route in 2025. The only missing line I see is the Atlantic City line, which was out of service for about a week after Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and about 8 months for signal modernization work in 2018-2019, so it is probably an accurate map of the available services in late 2018. It’s worth noting that most of the lines on the map have one train per day per direction or fewer also, so if anything this map undersells the difference between US rail service and European rail service
Looks kind of like one of the slices of meat that comes in the Aldi brand Gyro sandwich kit, but less appealing 
As deplorable as if USA diplomats pitched their private prison system or Ice detention camps as an e portable product/system. Authoritarians sharing tips on how best to do repressive regimes as a matter of public record in the world governance body is a gut-punch reality check on the state of the world
25% of the time, it works every time
I was talking about the UK in my comment replying to the person that said the UK was not involved in Iran, not the US
Well, yes but that is also true for a number of car-dependent food deserts in the US. Culdesac has transit access to other neighborhoods, so losing internal grocery distribution would be akin to one of those communities losing their only grocery store and having to travel 30+ minutes by car to the next one. For example, culdesac is a 16 minute streetcar ride from a trader joe’s near ASU/downtown Tempe. There are towns of comparable population to culdesac that also have 1-2 grocery stores and would require driving longer than that to reach the next one if that retailer went out of business
Yeah, I think the more legible version of this sentence is “Ironically, Rubio Says…”, but I’m sure that breaks rules of headline construction. Maybe “Ironic: Rubio Says…” Would work for some subset of headline editorial styles
No, specifically the US can’t declare war unless a majority in Congress are in agreement
Fuck man I wish my country’s vote surprised/shocked me even a little teeny bit
Is this data in the room with us?

A lot less on a per capita served basis than it would take to drive all those people that are served by the truck to the place where the food comes from and back again
Also the straits being useful for Iran is what is keeping them from mining it or at least keeping them from mining it in a substantial manner to make it impassible
People are saying that the Tusken Raiders have lightsabers and probably killed their own women and children
Me 5 years ago: the mad max aesthetic is cool and all, but the relentless need for practicality in war equipment would prevent any group from evolving all these extraneous metal cages and spikes onto everything they use, so it’s a tad unrealistic
