Love this.

It's just not a long term thing, for obvious reasons. People do it for a bit and then realise that the lifestyle is transient. So it doesn't go on long enough to cause serious problems.

If you're still doing this at age 50 then you'll be a lonely old man.

TfL have official information on this, it's not a random number.

I'm not doing your research for you. The poor and middle class do drive in London. If you think otherwise you're simply mistaken, even in a back of the envelope sense. There are over 2 million cars in London, I don't know who you think owns them if not ordinary people.

Approximately 50% of London households have at least one car.

You need to invent a new class to put them (and me) in, I guess.

Flatshare people mostly don't, that's basically it. The council estates are full of cars. If you were here it would be obvious.

Even buses in London, the fanciest buses, are less tidy and clean than my 20 year old five owners Honda Civic.

Yes.

This, mixed with the artist class pretending that poor people don't own cars, because they don't in their flatshare.

It's exactly the same as climate change.

It doesn't matter if one of us drives a pollutey car. It matters if millions or billions of us do.

The entire concept of being elite is manipulating others into having and doing less.

I mean, quite literally not everyone can have the life of someone who has significant wealth even.

If you're not an official company with a legal presence, yes.

A lot of seriously dense replies to my comment, seemingly wilfully misunderstanding.

_Obviously_ the legal department at an actual company is not bullshit.

For a real company, sure!

It's not an opinion.

Legal is very useful in the general case, but if you're an anonymous torrent site operator who fully intends to ignore the law anyway it's a waste of time.

Basically all of an actual software company is bullshit jobs unrelated to the core product like legal, marketing, investor relations, HR, maybe even developers for R&D etc.

Running a website doesn't require that many people.

I've worked at companies with 4 developers and 30+ "other stuff". The company would not be profitable and we would not get paid without them, but the actual product would work just fine if we wanted it to.

I'm surprised that this wasn't already done - could you save fuel if you knew you had a lower take off weight?

Or maybe weigh the whole plane before take off?

I find it amusing that weight is somehow some precious value, though. If someone is embarassed about being fat I mean, everyone around them can see that.

You're right and it works, but people with eating disorders have mental health issues that push them into obsessive behaviours, they need to be trained out of them.

An anorexic could hear that advice and decide that well, 1500 under maintenance is even better right? Not great.

It's tautological if you phrase it that way.

Hiking is just fun. Like, actually fun. If you set up the mental barrier that exercise is bad and sucks and feels bad, then sure, now it's bad.

If you're super unfit it might suck, much like sitting down and bashing out some cool scripts in Python would suck if you had no programming knowledge, but that's fixable for most.
