@silver crypt I don't have much time to talk. I try to keep what I know by reading

silver crypt
#

I see

#

Do you think you have a good knowledge of English?

#

I know you like to study grammar, but are there anythings you find necessarily difficult about it?

#

So for School I need to do a ‘presentation’ NOT a presentation but like an instruction guide. Does anybody have any idea what I should do I’m clueless.

Examples:
If you want to apply a face mask.
Step 1: Clean your face with water
Step 2: take the peel off the paper
Step 3: apply firm pressure to the mask on your face. Etc. But i don’t need to type this on paper or something I need to do it in real life and show the people.
You can also do how to make a swan with origami paper
You can literally do everything that has instructions with a length of 4-6 minutes

#

If someone could help me I would be so happy 🥺

#

Just like give me something to instruct about

past harbor
#

I understand a lot when I read, but that's not reflected when I try to write. I have a hard time following the structure; it's not so flexible and many times I don't know where to put one thing or another when it comes to very long sentences @silver crypt

silver crypt
#

I totally understand that

#

I'm the same way in Spanish

#

I can understand, I can read, but I have issues writing and speaking

past harbor
#

But it's a matter of practice, with repetition things will flow. You'll get there 🐺

I can say the same to you, bean. Someday I bet you will talk well, you just don't have the time rn

Does anyone have tips for expanding your vocabulary? I know alot of basic words but not enough to actually have a conversation.

And YouTube
And movies you've seen

@raw tinsel flashcards, apps, vocab books. Using that vocab in praxis with exercises in books.

severe vortex
#

You can have conversations with a bilingual speaker

#

They'll teach you the words you don't know

#

It's good because it focuses on essential words youre missing

And also gives you an opportunity to use them in practice right after learning them

Besides Photoshop, are there any good softwares for editing photos?

tranquil canopy
#

gimp

#

it's free and you can do pretty much everything that photoshop does

rain ermine
#

ooh

gritty oriole
#

I use gimp

tranquil canopy
#

i've been using it for years

gritty oriole
#

I messed up cracking photoshop

#

The name is kinda funny blobowo

tranquil canopy
#

everyone laughs at parties when I say GNU image manipulation program

#

id like to interject for a moment..

rain ermine
#

what is it

rain ermine
tranquil canopy
#

start slowly, watch some videos

#

of the stuff you want to do

#

play around

gritty oriole
#

wait hang on, I'm still waiting for wrzd to say something

tranquil canopy
#

i think it's just a meme lol

gritty oriole
#

ohhhhh

tranquil canopy
gritty oriole
#

Yeah I hate gimp too, but I learned to use it out of necessity peepocry

tranquil canopy
#

why hate it lol

#

photoshop interface is not that different

#

and it gives you a lot of power

gritty oriole
#

It's visually similar, but the shortcuts where different

rain ermine
#

ugh im such tech nooby person

#

i feel like a grandpa not knowing how to use this

gritty oriole
#

That's exactly why you shouldn't get an iphone

tranquil canopy
#

eh I almost don't bother with shortcuts

#

and do stuff pretty fast still

rain ermine
#

oxi no

gritty oriole
#

Shotcuts are life pupper

#

ctrl + 1 right now

rain ermine
#

that conclusion doesnt make sense

gritty oriole
#

That's cause you are a tech nooby person, you need to open your third eye and get on the level

rain ermine
#

but the thing is im not such a tech nooby person

tranquil canopy
#

don't get too intimidated by it, you can get used to it in a few days

#

I used to just play around and mess with stuff at the start

rain ermine
#

its just i have never ever used editing softwares like those

tranquil canopy
#

and you also have youtube

gritty oriole
#

That's good, you can learn gimp and become a master

rain ermine
#

youtube is for vids n stuff

gritty oriole
#

Youtube is for learning

tranquil canopy
#

there are hundreds of thousands of tutorials and even short tips

rain ermine
severe vortex
#

use the select tool

rain ermine
#

hm ok

tranquil canopy
#

you have multiple ways of selecting things

severe vortex
#

well idk it's a bit more complicated than that

#

yeah pupper's right

tranquil canopy
#

the one you will be using the most is the lazo tool

#

which is like a free select

severe vortex
#

yeah

#

the weirdest thing is there's separate move and resize tools

tranquil canopy
#

you can use the resize one

#

to move things around too

#

if you click in the middle

severe vortex
#

not like in other programs where you can resize and move with knobs when you select something

rain ermine
#

but with that

#

it moves the whole image

tranquil canopy
#

yeah because

#

these programs work with layers

#

at the start you only have one layer

#

which is the whole image

#

you end up selecting things and moving them to different layers, or adding images to other layers

#

and then you move those layers around, edit them

severe vortex
#

I mean simple stuff you can do on one layer

rain ermine
#

i see

tranquil canopy
#

yeah you can

#

it all depends on what you want to do

severe vortex
#

I mean what are you even trying to do?

#

Some stuff you can just do in paint

rain ermine
#

2 photos right next to each other

#

sort of like a collage

#

for a pfp pic

tranquil canopy
#

ok that's simple enough, you'll end up using two layers, you can just drag the images into the program. You should look up how to resize the canvas (your whole working space, the space that will be the output, the final image), how to adjust it to your images

#

you will probably end up shrinking the bigger image of the two, so you don't stretch the other one and it doesn't look ugly

rain ermine
#

im shrinking the image but

#

i cant save it

royal parrot
#

Export as

tranquil canopy
#

there's a little box that says

#

width height

#

reset and scale

rain ermine
#

wait nvm i fixed it

tranquil canopy
#

once you are done with the resizing

#

you hit scale

royal parrot
#

Were you trying to remove the background before? It looks solid enough that you might get away with using the Fuzzy Select

#

Maybe

#

Right-click the layer => Add Alpha Channel

#

Select the background

#

Hit Del

#

Then import the second image to a layer below this one

rain ermine
#

i wasnt trying to get rid of the background i think

royal parrot
#

Oh OK, nvm

rain ermine
#

gimp is hard to use blobnotlike

#

when i press scale i cant go to a new layer

#

and when i achor it it disappears

royal parrot
#

Is it something copy & pasted?

rain ermine
#

yes

royal parrot
#

It will say "Floating Selection" in the layers list

#

Right click it => To New Layer

#

Then resize that new layer

rain ermine
#

ok

#

guau it worked

rain ermine
#

what can i do to get rid of this blank space without cropping the pictures

#

the checkerboard pattern thing

royal parrot
#

Can't you just drag the top one down?

#

Or resize it, because it looks a little squashed

rain ermine
#

oh right

severe vortex
#

Yeah it would do no hard to vertically stretch the top one

rain ermine
tranquil canopy
#

good job, you only have a tiny ~2 pixel gap between the two lower images
and another to the right of the top image

#

once you fix them you can go to image-> fit canvas to layers, and export it

rain ermine
#

ikr its annoying me

tranquil canopy
#

you can use the arrow keys if you want pixel accuracy

rain ermine
#

hmm

tranquil canopy
#

1 press is 1 pixel

#

when moving at least

rain ermine
#

i cant move pixel by pixel horizontally

tranquil canopy
#

you could just cut the excess bits once all images are touching each other

#

select the thing you want to export and using image-> fit canvas to selection

echo mothBOT
#

1 press 1 pixel

tranquil canopy
#

if you do that, it doesn't matter if there's a tiny bit of an image going outside, it's like you are only taking a picture, the parts outside the canvas won't show up, and you don't have to stretch anything around, distorting it

rain ermine
#

the option is grayed out for me

tranquil canopy
#

there has to be a selection first, you can use box select

rain ermine
#

oh

#

OOOH LOOKING NICE

#

so whats the last step

tranquil canopy
#

if you are done and happy with how it looks? you can go to file -> export as... and export the final result as a single image

#

(I recommend using png, since it's lossless, that is, things like jpeg compress the image a lot and it looks blurry and ugly, unless it's a picture of trees or something)

rain ermine
tranquil canopy
#

no need to touch anything lol

rain ermine
#

oh so just export

tranquil canopy
#

ye

#

if you use save/save as instead of export, what you are saving is the gimp project, so you can open it later and keep working on it if you want or it's something that will take long

rain ermine
#

i see

#

but i just noticed

#

there is a compression level

#

do i change that?

tranquil canopy
#

no need, png is still lossless, the image will have every exact pixel.
what that does is just make the file larger or smaller, 0 means no compression, 9 means full compression. I think it's only useful if you are in a rush for some reason and want a big exported image right now

#

I'd always just leave it at 9, I prefer smaller files lel

rain ermine
#

wow it looks awesome

#

can i discard the changes on gimp?

tranquil canopy
#

if you don't want to keep working on that, yeah

royal parrot
#

Those necklaces look oh so realistic

tranquil canopy
#

especially the right one, look how it completely ignores the lighting/shadows

#

majestic

rain ermine
#

DAMNN

#

i wish i could do that good

royal parrot
#

I'm sure once you get the hang of it you can do a lot better

rain ermine
#

||rip my dreams of working in the science field time to major in computer editing and that stuff||

tranquil canopy
#

and you can end getting more and more practice making your own obscure memes

rain ermine
tranquil canopy
#

ignore the s

rain ermine
#

so yeah

#

now idk what to major in for school

severe vortex
#

You're 14 don't worry about it until you're 16

#

Lmao

split mauve
#

Yeah don't worry, my sis chose her major weeks before starting uni halal

severe vortex
#

I mean if you have an idea of what you want to do

#

start doing stuff related to it

#

but don't worry super hard about locking it down

#

You don't figure out what you want to do by thinking super hard about it you learn by doing things

split mauve
#

Yeah so far my choices are urbanism, psychology, or political science

severe vortex
#

urbanism gang

#

the US has terrible, terrible urbanism game

#

It's gotta improve

split mauve
#

Not gonna lie it's hella wack

severe vortex
#

We know

#

At least those of us who subscribe to the gospel of urbanism

#

So many boomers seem perfectly content with living in a boring suburban hellhole

#

as my rent goes up

split mauve
#

I sometimes don't know how can people enjoy living in those hella desolate highway suburbs with nothing but detached houses with lot's of space of nothingness

severe vortex
#

I know right?

split mauve
#

Even the ultra rich suburbs here are rowhouses with a few informal businesses here and there

severe vortex
#

Yeah I love that

#

why not have a kiosco or two within a residential area WHY CAN'T WE EVEN HAVE THAT IN THIS DARN COUNTRY

split mauve
#

Though we could also do with more public transport that isn't just decent in 2 or 3 cities in the whole nation, and 6 lane avenues in residential zones

severe vortex
#

I mean if it's dense enough you barely even need public transit

#

I absolutely love how Córdoba is built

#

I haven't even had to take the bus

#

everything is so close

split mauve
#

The suburbs have decent density when it comes to grocery stores yeah, but when it comes to education, work, and recreational it's bus or car

severe vortex
#

Well you want the jobs to be concentrated in the city center

split mauve
#

Not to mention that the buses are always packed full with shitty schedules and tiny coverage areas

#

Well the thing there's 6 city centres here Xd

#

At least in the whole metropolis

severe vortex
#

ooof

#

At least stuff is centralized

split mauve
#

But the city centres aren't that much more dense than the suburbs, so you are as likely to have a job in another nearby municipality as in the local centre

severe vortex
#

Ooooooof

#

Reminds me of home lmao

split mauve
#

Pretty much xd, at least there's walkable cafes, grocery shops, parks, and a few restaurants here and there

#

but my school decided it'd be amazing to just cover 3 neighbors with buses, and the ones I could use that are not from school, take over half an hour to do a one way trip, that is if there's no delays or much traffic

severe vortex
#

Yeezus

split mauve
#

They could fund more lanes and coverage but all my classmates are rich snobby gated community teens so whatthink

#

Don't get me started on the uni students

rain ermine
#

but cars exist

split mauve
#

Yeah, and they are one of the most polluting, inefficient, and costly methods of transport

tranquil canopy
#

cars are expensive and need space

#

if every single person in a metropolitan area had to use a car you would be stuck in traffic forever

severe vortex
#

To an urbanist, cars are the representation of all that is unholy in good urban design

split mauve
#

While buses can hold 50 people at a time, and only take the space of 2-3 people, imagine how much space would be needed for 50 cars

severe vortex
#

Pupper why are you using a hypothetical there

#

That's my reality

split mauve
#

Even diesel buses are more eco friendly per person than hybrids

gritty oriole
#

hahaha imagine that pupper, it would be a movie: The Day Everyone DROVE

tranquil canopy
#

lmao

celest bay
#

that's the entire west coast pupper

tranquil canopy
#

well but I'm taking reality to an extreme

severe vortex
#

That's the reality for most of the US

tranquil canopy
#

every single person

#

at once

split mauve
#

L.A. irl

severe vortex
#

No like I'm not kidding

#

It's not hypothetical

celest bay
#

again, that's just all of the us besides the northeast

#

and a good bit bit of them too

gritty oriole
#

Everyone at once, it just sounds apocalyptic to me

split mauve
#

That's all of the US except bits of the East Coast and a bit of San Fran and Portland

tranquil canopy
#

but imagine if you didn't even have buses

#

or metro

celest bay
#

BRO I AM SAYING

#

WE DON"T

severe vortex
#

Imagine VTA

split mauve

trAmS

tranquil canopy
#

wtf

celest bay
#

except for a few places

rain ermine
#

oh well

tranquil canopy
#

do they hand out cars for everyone

split mauve
#

Yeah LA only has metros and buses, but only for the city centre xdd

rain ermine
#

what do i know

severe vortex
#

No everyone buys one

tranquil canopy
#

ah I forgot

#

debt land

rain ermine
#

traffic is a problem

celest bay
#

no that's why people have no money

rain ermine
#

but people just build wider highways

tranquil canopy
#

lmao

split mauve
#

Wasn't there like almost double the amount of cars per people in L.a.

celest bay
#

am cri

severe vortex
#

@rain ermine Allow me to introduce you to Induced Demand

split mauve
#

No wider highways cause more congestion and displace thousands of people

severe vortex
#

widening highways doesn't work that's why cities don't really do it anymore

split mauve
#

Unless it's Texas

celest bay
#

people have multiple cars, cause if 2 people work at 2 different places they need 2 cars

severe vortex
#

the only solution is getting cars off the road

split mauve
#

motherfucking katy freeway

tranquil canopy
#

and cars don't just use highways, unless you are planning on demolishing everything and turning everything into a highway sweats

severe vortex
#

which is almost impossible because we've committed to car centric urban design

split mauve
#

@tranquil canopy that's L.A. and Texas in a nutshell

#

Also Atlanta

rain ermine
#

say wut

celest bay
#

that's what they did pupper. car companies worked to get cities to get rid of trolleys etc back in the day

tranquil canopy
#

just demolish every skyscraper, university and hospital

celest bay
#

they ripped the tracks out of the ground

tranquil canopy
#

wtf

severe vortex
#

Yeah

split mauve
#

Yeah car and oil companies bought the tram networks in L.A. and made them buses

tranquil canopy
#

ok that country is scary

severe vortex
#

we've known that car centric design is a bad idea long term

#

just there was lobbying

celest bay
#

it didn't happen in san francisco or the northeast or chicago though

split mauve
#

Oh boy wait till you hear about oil companies advertising as being eco friendly

rain ermine
#

so wider highways just work for texas whatthink

celest bay
#

so we still have subways and things

No wider highways never work

celest bay
#

but we're the weirdos in the US

split mauve
#

The 23 lane katy freeway is a horrible monstrosity

tranquil canopy
#

abi stop being a weirdo smh

celest bay
tranquil canopy
celest bay
#

I like my weird public transport

rain ermine
#

idk if katy is near houston

split mauve
#

I think it was, I think it was Dallas

severe vortex
#

Houston is an interesting case because it has no zoning laws

split mauve
#

Either way it ended up causing even more congestion

severe vortex
#

but that just means induced demand can take effect faster

celest bay
#

ahh I foound it

#

here you go

#

it explains

split mauve
#

It only works for the first few months and engineers like reporting it as working

severe vortex
#

widening highways encourages more development around them and encourages people to stop using public transit and take those highways instead

tranquil canopy
#

because it's for those damn reds!!!!!

#

🏃

severe vortex
#

also people taking congested routes will start using that highway instead

celest bay
#

what reds wat

split mauve
#

But the months afterwards show worse traddic

rain ermine
#

the redcoats

severe vortex
#

so eventually the highway becomes just as bad or worse than it used to be

celest bay
#

not the redcoats again

#

aaah

tranquil canopy
#

i'm being a mcarthyist

split mauve
#

Also increased maintance on roads

celest bay
#

ohhh

rain ermine
#

from what i see

tranquil canopy
#

nah not the lobsters

rain ermine
#

traffic is a 50/50 thing

celest bay
#

lobsterbacks

#

is a name for them pupps

split mauve
#

So basically more highways equals more maintenance costs, more pollution, more congestion, and displacement of people

tranquil canopy
#

i knew it was something with lobster lol, thanks I forgot

celest bay
#

no prob

#

I'm scared to ask but

#

usa people

rain ermine
#

yes

celest bay
#

do you have trolleys or trolleybuses

rain ermine
#

NAH

split mauve
#

I am sure none do

celest bay
#

like busses that run on wires

severe vortex
#

SF has the cable cars

rain ermine
#

wtf no

split mauve
#

Oddly enough in our center we do!

severe vortex
#

but that's it

rain ermine
#

just metros

#

like sleek looking trains

celest bay
#

wtf is a metro

#

a subway?

#

trolley?

rain ermine
#

no

severe vortex
#

depends

split mauve
#

a tube

celest bay
#

light rail?

severe vortex
#

naw the only city with an underground is new york

celest bay
#

um

rain ermine
severe vortex
#

Chicago is elevated

#

take that

celest bay
#

I fucking went into an illusion in boston then cause that shit is underground here

rain ermine
#

theyre everywhere in downtown houston

severe vortex
#

Boston isn't a city

severe vortex
celest bay
#

I love that article

#

watch it every time the redline catches fire

severe vortex
#

Anyway

celest bay
#

also hot fucking take from a dude in cali

severe vortex
#

if you want a taste of near perfect city design look at Córdoba on google maps

celest bay
#

zero public transit ass cali

severe vortex
#

there's one highway

rain ermine
#

in texas there are busses

celest bay
#

it's a start

severe vortex
#

it's a ring road so it literally just exists to direct traffic that is bypassing the city around the center rather than through it

rain ermine
#

but only homeless people ride it

celest bay
#

why?

rain ermine
#

its all i see at the stops

severe vortex
#

there's a dense center where a huge percentage of the residents live

#

you can walk across it in around 30 minutes

#

all the jobs are concentrated there so there's a consistent flow of cars in and out each day

#

this allows you to design the surrounding suburbs better

split mauve
#

Also take a look at Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Oslo, Tokyo, and Singapore

celest bay
#

I don't get the stigma against public transit in the us

tranquil canopy
#

muh car

split mauve
#

Probably oil and car lobbyists propaganda

tranquil canopy
#

muh debt

celest bay
#

people don't ride the bus cause ew that's what people without cars go on?

severe vortex
#

Naw it's literally the residents

rain ermine
#

but abi

celest bay
#

you throw your headphones on and go

severe vortex
#

"Oh it's a waste of money this neighborhood isn't dense enough"

split mauve
#

Ironic that pre ww2 the reason to dismantle trams was "maintanance"

rain ermine
#

transit isnt statewide

celest bay
#

oh yeah I didn't mean in texas

#

in general

rain ermine
#

oh

split mauve
#

And nowadays road maintenance, parking spots, and pollution causes many more costs

severe vortex
#

So it always goes "We can't build transit because it's a waste of money. The neighborhood isn't dense enough" -> "We can't densify the neighborhood because there's no transit. Traffic will get really bad"

#

rinse and repeat

#

You need to do both

#

at the same time

#

but since it's so hard to actually develop anything, especially in california

rain ermine
#

but that state is the richest thonk

severe vortex
#

and since transit is managed inefficiently by a mishmash of agencies run by non-experts that have no teeth

#

it doesn't happen

#

rich just means that there's a lot of rich people it doesn't mean that we properly fund or manage our transit systems

split mauve
#

^

severe vortex
#

that's up to voters

#

and voters don't tend to care enough

tranquil canopy
#

which state, if any, has at least somewhat decent public transport in the USA?

split mauve
#

Massachusetts I'd guess

rain ermine
#

||what about ubers||

severe vortex
#

also the infrastructure is expensive to build and hard to implement because our metros are already built up in a car centric manner

split mauve
#

Ubers most of the time are equally bad

severe vortex
#

basically everything is working against it happening

#

Uber doesn't solve anything

split mauve
#

And most drivers don't even get paid a liveable wage

severe vortex
#

it actually makes traffic worse than it should

celest bay
#

NYC (not new york state though)

severe vortex
#

ubers tend to take risky moves that impede traffic

tranquil canopy
#

and it makes taxi drivers protest here

#

lol

severe vortex
#

like illegally going to the side of the street to pick up riders

celest bay
#

New Jersey but maybe just the NYC bit

#

boston, probably philly

severe vortex
#

they also spend a lot of idle time just driving around

celest bay
#

it's not really a state thing

severe vortex
#

thus making congestion worse

rain ermine
#

so the more developed states

severe vortex
#

and they often aren't familiar with the area

rain ermine
#

where urban dominates

split mauve
#

Yeah

celest bay
#

the older states had time to get them in before cars is my guess. and being dense helped too

severe vortex
#

I mean even northeast cities are baby cities for babies

split mauve
#

Then there's Georgia and Alabama banning spending on public transport

rain ermine
#

WTF

celest bay
#

nyc's a baby city huh?

severe vortex
#

yes

#

I'm kinda joking

#

but also not

#

a bit

rain ermine
#

new york is one of the biggest cities in the us wtf

celest bay
#

have you been there at all?

severe vortex
#

yes I have stop looking at me like that

#

lemme explain

split mauve
#

I guess Tokyo is a baby city too thonk

severe vortex
#

in a country of 300 million people, how big do you expect the biggest city to be?

rain ermine
#

are you guys crazy

severe vortex
#

Tokyo is huge

celest bay
#

I'm contractually obligated to shit on nyc as I'm from boston but I'm about to leap thru the screen to defend them for this

severe vortex
#

don't get me wrong

rain ermine
#

Houston in comparison is a baby city lol

split mauve
#

Oh you mean compared to total population

severe vortex
#

houston actually isn't in comparison

#

yeah

rain ermine
severe vortex
#

just gimme a ballpark

#

how big do you expect it to be

celest bay
#

also, the city of boston is tiny you want greater boston

#

city of is 600k

severe vortex
#

keep in mind tokyo's metro has tens of millions

rain ermine
#

wow that is small

celest bay
#

greater boston is across 4 states

severe vortex
#

shanghai has 20 million in the city proper

#

so

#

tell me

#

how big should NY be?

celest bay
#

might wanna look at density homie

rain ermine
#

8.6 million

severe vortex
#

baby city

#

ok I'm done joking

split mauve
#

Yeah Mexico City is like 24 million and we have a third of the population of the US

#

Also depends what you classify as the boundaries of NYC

severe vortex
#

NY is the only city in the US that actually represents an ideal level of density

split mauve
#

if we strictly speak of the 5 boroughs it is 8 million or so

severe vortex
#

the rest of our major metros should be that dense

#

if you wanna live in suburbia you can

split mauve
#

But the metropolis extends far bigger than that and has a pop of 18-20 million

severe vortex
#

but it shouldn't be the dominant form of development

#

that metro is all suburbs

celest bay
#

"Boston has a density of 13,841 people per square mile (5,344/square kilometer), and Greater Boston is the 4th most densely populated region in the United States, after New York Metro Area, Greater Los Angeles, and South Florida Metro Area. Somerville, a city just north of Boston and included in its metropolitan area, has the highest population density of 18,431.6 people per square mile."

:ada:

split mauve
#

Yeah and so is Greater London xd, which ahouldn't be tbh

celest bay
#

I mean we're not number 1 but

normal osprey
#

Could you see that abigail ?

celest bay
#

somerville is in greater boston

#

no pepe

split mauve
#

Those densities are kinda misleading

normal osprey
#

look

severe vortex
#

yeah

normal osprey
#

:ada:

celest bay
#

they're really not

severe vortex
#

if you go by city proper it's NY then SF

celest bay
#

still no pepe

severe vortex
#

then no other city comes even close

normal osprey
#

didn't you see the emoji T_T

split mauve
#

I'll show you a different density used by the OECD and show you how dense those cities really are

celest bay
#

that IS city proper

#

boston proper is 600k people

#

and there are 13k per mile

severe vortex
#

yeah and by my standards it's not insanely dense

split mauve
celest bay
#

wtf is dense to you

gusty ermine
#

Cincinnati lol

severe vortex
#

Buenos Aires

#

NY

#

that kinda stuff

split mauve
#

Tokyo, Paris, London, Athens

severe vortex
#

london is eh

celest bay
#

IT"S THE SAME DENSITY

#

13k

severe vortex
#

I guess inner london

gusty ermine
#

Mumbai

#

(Bombay)

severe vortex
#

Mumbai is a bit much

split mauve
#

No it isn't, look in the chart

severe vortex
#

parts of it

celest bay
#

buenos aires and boston are 13k/mile you buffoon

split mauve
#

Cities aren't just historical centres anymore

severe vortex
#

what metric did they use for BA?

#

CABA or the metro?

split mauve
#

It's like saying that Los Angeles is just the city centre, while excluding Long Beach and etc

celest bay
#

whatever their census used

split mauve
#

Or London is just the City of London

celest bay
#

and the same source as the quote from above

gusty ermine
#

Abi, Boston isn't a dense area, it's more of a sparsely spread city

celest bay
#

um

gusty ermine
#

Los Angeles is more dense

celest bay
#

no

severe vortex
#

I'm just saying if you visit CABA and then visit boston you can't say they're the same density

#

there's almost no suburbs in CABA

celest bay
#

la is more dense than us I said

gusty ermine
#

What's caba

severe vortex
#

last I saw

#

Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires

gusty ermine
#

LA is very dense yes

#

And sparse

#

Buenos Aires is dense

severe vortex
#

The buenos aires metro consists of CABA, which is dense as fuck, and the surrounding suburbs in buenos aires province

rain ermine
last vault

Boston has a density of 13,841 people per square mile (5,344/square kilometer), and Greater Boston is the 4th most densely populated region in the United States, after New York Metro Area, Greater Los Angeles, and South Florida Metro Area

gusty ermine
#

And pretty sparse

split mauve
#

What boundaries are we saying is "Houston"?

rain ermine
#

well

#

it extends into pasadena idk

celest bay
split mauve
#

Because we can just take the historic dense centre and say that's all of Houston and discard the metropolis

celest bay
#

just read that

severe vortex
#

Anyway it's not even about how dense a city in its entirety is

gusty ermine
#

Oof Boston is more dense than LA?

#

Never knew that

split mauve
#

That's why it is important to note what are the boundaries of your definition of x place

celest bay
#

I FUCKING SADI

rain ermine
celest bay
#

i'm in pain

severe vortex
#

it's about where the density is and whether density exists to an appreciable degree

celest bay
#

homie just pick criteria and stick with it

#

and then compare

severe vortex
#

Ah don't you just love enclaved cities within bigger ones?

rain ermine
#

yes

severe vortex
#

The question was sarcastic

rain ermine
#

btw does will smith live at bellaire

celest bay
#

what

#

that's my entire city

gusty ermine
#

LA area is pretty enourmous if you count the other cities and counties neighboring it

severe vortex
#

It is

celest bay
#

boston didn't annex other cities

severe vortex
#

it's not dense tho

gusty ermine
#

Which makes it the greater LA area

celest bay
#

so boston proper is little

gusty ermine
#

Yeah apparently it isn't

#

Some areas around here are tho

severe vortex
#

and the thing is having a ton of small municipalities around a bigger one is bad design anyway

gusty ermine
#

Wiki includes the small town of maywood, in the list

#

It's a small City in the LA area, pretty shitty area haha

severe vortex
#

those municipalities have residents who use the bigger city's services but don't contribute to its tax base

gusty ermine
#

Very dense I say

split mauve
#

Like Las Vegas

severe vortex
#

and a lot of the time those municipalities are very obstructionary

split mauve
#

Except Las Vegas is the bigger one but still

gusty ermine
#

Vegas isn't a good city for living in, apparently the only good jobs are working at a casino

severe vortex
#

Paradise is a tax dodge lmao

celest bay
#

wait hold up, your services aren't state level?

split mauve
#

Oh yeah Paradise that

celest bay
#

what the fuck

severe vortex
#

Whaddya mean

celest bay
#

what services do you mean

#

transit?

#

roads?

severe vortex
#

maybe services was the wrong way of putting it

#

i mean yeah that

celest bay
#

they don't get state funding?

gusty ermine
#

I think the interstates are government level

severe vortex
#

I mean I'll tell you how it works in the bay

gusty ermine
#

The state highways are by the state

severe vortex
#

anyway I guess the main point is they are economically intertwined with the bigger city but not politically intertwined

celest bay
#

you don't fund normal roads via the state at all?

severe vortex
#

that means that they often have conflicting interests

celest bay
#

wat

gusty ermine
#

Oof I think people from LA and SF can relate to is the damn 101 freeway 😂

severe vortex
#

*101

#

what's the 101

#

there's just 101

gusty ermine
#

Are you serious

severe vortex
#

is that a different freeway or something?

gusty ermine
#

Where are u from

severe vortex
#

Completey serious

#

I have no idea what you're talking about

#

like we have 101

celest bay
#

also the way things work here is by town. towns have their own government systems, their own police forces, fire depts, schools, etc.

severe vortex
#

no idea what you mean by "the 101"

celest bay
#

there's no county anything

gusty ermine
#

Do you live in san Francisco?

severe vortex
#

Dynamix I'm joking

#

we leave out the article

gusty ermine

Fuckn hell

We have our highway talk here

severe vortex

Yeah and it's dumb

#

anyway

gusty ermine
#

SF is dumb

#

😂

severe vortex
#

It is

#

I'm in the south bay

gusty ermine
#

Even worse

severe vortex
#

oof

#

I don't take 101 much but yeah it sucks

gusty ermine
#

The 101 freeway is always packed here

severe vortex
#

880 is worse

#

I mean 101 here is like

gusty ermine
#

Is that the freeway that collapsed during 89?

severe vortex
#

the corrider that runs through all the major job centers on the peninsula

#

anybody who works on the peninsula takes 101

#

it's bad

#

unless they take 280

#

that's also bad

gusty ermine
#

Every highway here is fucked

#

The 10, 405, 101, 5, it's all shit

severe vortex
#

and of course since like half of the peopl ein the south bay work on the peninsula

#

cause fuck palo alto

gusty ermine
#

Everywhere

severe vortex
#

it gets bad

gusty ermine
#

Yup

severe vortex
#

I've visited LA

#

yeah it's bad

#

like where the fuck are people going at 2pm on a sunday?

#

why is there congestion at that time?

gusty ermine
#

Exactly lol

#

The 5 is pretty shit too, once you've past all the mountains to the north of the valley it's just plains and boring shit all the way to Sacramento (and shitty valley cities)

severe vortex
#

Yeah I hate 5

#

When I drive south I prefer 101

gusty ermine
#

It's very scenic

severe vortex
#

it's slower but worth it

gusty ermine
#

I had to go to San Francisco for a funeral and we took the 5 and some other retarded highway to get to the 101, very boring and sad, when we reached the 101 to Salinas there were mountains, hills, vineyards, it was beautiful

#

The way back was pretty neat too

#

Once in LA, it was all trash

severe vortex
#

I'd guess lmao

gusty ermine
#

We arrived at LA at around 9 I think? There was traffic in DTLA

severe vortex
#

It really do be that way

Sometimes google translate gets things right

severe vortex
#

It rarely gets subjunctive right though

mellow laurel
#

if you don't know one or two specific words go ahead and use translate.

#

But know if they're masculine or feminine, etc

tranquil canopy
#

i'd recommend using any dictionary

#

translators don't know context and may only give you one meaning

severe vortex
#

I use spanishdict a lot

#

it's great

#

Once you've learned spanish syntax you shouldn't be translating full sentences, just looking up the words and composing the sentences yourself

#

and spanishdict has set phrases as well

marsh linden
#

I've been fully converted to using wordreference

#

In terms of translations I think it's roughly on par with SpanishDict but its knowledge of phrases easily beats that of SpanishDict

A mí Java me parece el paraíso

Quizás sea la forma de trabajar de cada uno

Por el momento mi favorito es C

Es muy sencillo. No tengo que pensar de en que forma quiero hacer algo porque sólo hay una forma para hacer todo

#

Con java hay un montón de opciónes para cada estructura y para mi me resulta arrolador

mortal dagger
#

pucha, al menos acá, las empresas que usan Java tienen una idea muy "Enterprise" de cómo se debe desarrollar sofware entonces a nivel psicológico he visto que la gran mayoría sale mal de ahí

#

tienen malos horarios, exigencias absurdas y aunque el sueldo no es malo, sigue siendo un sueldo promedio

#

las empresas más "cool" en el sentido de que se preocupan de la salud mental de sus trabajadores que he visto, siempre han sido empresas con un stack tipo Ruby, algún framework de JS poco común o lenguajes no tan en el mainstream

esa es mi única gran bronca con Java y la razón por la nunca trabajaría en algo así
