XP, a regression? closes tab.

Yeah, semantics. In the end, the outcome is the same.

I really love these posts almost as much as i love the signs blocking cars from a certain area of my city's center, except for -amongst the common sense exceptions- cars owned by the office of the mayor. Rules for thee, or something or other. Is it fair to have more public transportation, bike lanes, bus lanes, walkable paths? yes. Is it fair to lock entire urban areas from cars? Not at all.

I don't pay nearly weekly road taxes for my freezer. I pay for my cars and bikes, so that the law grants me that ability to park. It's easy to understand.

(...)I'm trying to do some things to extend the battery's life as long as possible (...) Not driving like a maniac.

Oops. My work daily is the same Leaf, my personal car is a '95 1.8 Turbo Miata. The Leaf suffers.

You raise a very valid point, which i will take in consideration. I don't believe it to be the case, since the person in question also shares positive interactions, and i believe some of the worst "contacts" have been doxxed. But your point still stands.

There's a palestinian guy living in the US making the rounds on tiktok, talking to random israeli people on something like omegle. The amount of hate he gets is nothing short of depressing. Children cursing at him, IDF soldiers saying they want to kill every single person in Gaza, calling them sub-humans... sounds like the fourth reich is here already.

All this to say you're right, but the government is indocrinating more and more people for these views.

Right, you can fire really awesome warning shots with mortars.

We appreciate your biased comment, aimed at portraying Palestinians as terrorists and non-indigenous to the area, cherry-picking history as it suits your narrative. We're not interested, though. Thank you.

Maybe it's not "Active Noise Cancelling" but it's "White noise louder than the brown noise". Still useful though.

I've lost power at 11:30 and regained at 00:12 (Portugal). My hat's off to those brave engineers and technicians that managed to black start the ancient, under-invested grid in record time. Massive respect.

Great article, but the comments section of that blog is pure cancer. Jeez.

More anti-car drivel. Sure there must be a balance but car-free isn't the way and won't be a thing. They had to scrap the Streatham Wells LTN after a three-mile bus journeys took two hours - and not everyone can walk three miles, let alone the entire route.

Yes? Not only that, most of them look terrible and the driving technique has to change dramatically to get any half decent range. It's a lot less engaging to daily an EV.

That's very elitist. Not everyone lives in large cities with whole mass transit systems or works the usual 9-5. Even in large urban areas it's tricky to get around past a certain time. I remember working unexpected shifts and later staring at closed metro stations, having to walk in the rain to get home. No thanks. Also, some people like cars. Deal with it, i'm not ditching for an e-bike or whatever. An electric motorcycle actually sounds nice though, if not for the battery weight.
