In Canada even if you lease to own a phone it’s not carrier locked anymore, you have to pay the remaining balance if you leave, or possibly can return the phone (but that’s just throwing your money away)

All it would really take is internet providers to black hole the China AS numbers in their BGP configs. Then boom China basically can’t talk to the rest of the world.

But not in place of, no one is trying to say no chat clients ever, we just don’t want only chat clients.

Why are you even mentioning matrix? We don’t want a chat server corpo or not, we want a real functional forum with topics and history and indexed by search engines, not a single chat log that disappears into the void after 24 hours of use.

Roscosmos hasn’t innovated anything in about 2 decades

Surprising keeping the cold out vs in doesn’t change much. You insulate the shit out of the building to minimize unwanted transfer from outside to inside.

The solution is to separate bike lanes from the road, this is ignore in basically all north american cities and else where too.

That said I think the bike in the video is a motorcycle so that wouldn’t have helped them in this case.

Nothing in that comment discussed plugin hybrids though.

A non plug-in hybrid will be more efficient than a full gas vehicle because of the efficiency you can gain through minimizing the engine and tuning it for a more limited rpm range.

This ideally carries over to a plug-in hybrid in the same way even if it’s never plugged in, if all the gas engine does is charge the battery it can be more efficient than a gas only car due to reduced engine size requirements.

Continuing to speak is a bad look on you.

You talk shit out of your ass.

The only advantage to a canoe is it’s slightly drier than the water and slightly less sandy than the beach.

You can’t have negative revenue, revenue is only a measure of income, before costs are pulled out.even if you only sold $1 worth of product, and spent 200billion to do so you still have a revenue of $1

Look we all hate Elon and how neuralink is developing their tech that’s not in question here.

People are taking issue with your referring to desperate people with very very poor quality of life due to injuries or medical conditions as “brain dead”

They aren’t “brain dead”, dumb or stupid, they are reaching for what looks like the only potential light in their life. A life that is probably impossibly difficult for any of us typically healthy people to imagine.

If your on dirt / gravel your already fucked. But also not part of the discussion about cars in cities.

Yeah I fucking live in Canada, the roads aren’t icy unless the whole city is basically in a standstill. If the plows aren’t making it then your car isn’t fucking either genius.

Go talk to Norway about biking in the winter, they do it plenty with standard bikes. It’s not like once it snows roads and paths have a permanent layer of snow and ice on them, we invented this thing called a plow.

Also like 3 minutes into biking in the cold you aren’t cold anymore.

I would like to point out that this whole “America is so special! We aren’t just one group but a bunch of different groups” is fucking stupid. Every country is like that, but y’all are too fucking caught up in American exceptionalism to care or notice.

1. None of this is about total 100% bans on cars, just making the option of not using a car nicer than using one. Even where car bans exist options still exist for delivery vehicles.

2. Public transit exists and is often better than driving depending on the disability.

3. In the current system we leave behind everyone that can’t afford to buy and maintain a car, which is a staggeringly large number already.

Someone needs to beat this into your skull, in the current us voting system not voting for Biden is the same as voting for Trump.

Which one do you want to win? Neither are great, but Trump will lead to the complete annihilation of Palestinians in Gaza.

2016 was 8 years ago, that means by your definition twitter spent nearly half it’s existence as a toxic cesspool

Which was largely due to the introduction of soap and hygiene practices during childbirth.
