That would be fine if they were trying to reverse ALL personal vehicle adoption, but nooo.
The problem with this is that this will encourage Canada to do the same, like the good little brother it is, and we’ll get fucked along with y’all -_-
We also use it to weigh down our fishing lines… because we’re that smart.
It’s potential. Matter can go there. Saying there is an end to the universe means that at some point, there is no possible expansion. It also means we are completely ignoring the tiniest infinitly small chance that our big bang wasn’t the only one. If you zoom out far enough, is there really zero chance that this “known universe” is actually just part of a greater whole?
imagining the universe as a contained thing with hard limits is what gives me the creep
I feel like I could talk about this for years, but I got video games to play. The short answer is I don’t feel like I have to know what caused the matter to all be at the same place and then expand to be satisfied with an infinite universe of finite matter. I wish my brain could understand how time as we know it started with the big Bang, but I think I’m slightly too dumb for that.
Because the universe is expanding. If it were finite it wouldn’t be able to expand. Emptiness is still “something”. If we were “at the edge of the universe”, we could still go further from the center, there would just be nothing for as far as we can perceive, maybe even infinitely, but then, we would be there. That makes it “a place”.
“The cosmos is not infinite, has a beginning and an end”
The fact that everyone around me seems to be persuaded that there is a beginning in time is unnerving to me. In my head, cosmos has always been infinite, and will always be infinite. Even if nothing is there, it will still exist.
The idea that anything before the big bang is considered to not exist has so many things wrong with it that I struggle to internalize it. If matter cannot be made or destroyed, that means that there will always be matter in one form or another.
Most technology news your average layman is interested in is ads for new products and how tech companies turn out to not be so great to work for. I think that’s why most news that appear on top don’t really cover the fun stuff.
With all the blackouts I had these past 2 years, YEA PLEASE. Hell, I was a out to relearn how to make a homemade AM radio. Haven’t done it in 28 years.
I agree with only two of those 3. Pull out your knife, we fight!
I still use reddit for my city subreddit and some niche things but overall it’s decent. We’ve come far from Facebook haven’t we?
Why are internal combustion engines spying on pregnant women and fortnite kids now?
“we are sorry you feel that way. Cope”.
That’s what it reads like, honestly
I install it every 6 months or so to check if android controller support has been added. I expect many other people do the same. It’s just a drop in the bucket, but that bucket eventually fills up
I almost feel like JJ Abrams ruining StarWars even further than it already had been by George Lucas was worth the sacrifice because at least Disney got desparatr and worked with actually good artists to make Star Wars Legends, that show that had the samurai Jedi and other cool one shots.
Also apparently Andor managed to be good despite being Disney star wars, but I can’t confirm because I was so done with the whole thing after Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett.
Wait wait you feel like Firefly went on TOO long?
That’s a take and a half…
Oh some groceries have them. One even has a free setup. Just park there and recover like 5km worth of charge while doing groceries, but I forgot they exist because I don’t do my groceries in a car. Funny enough, the bicycle shop has a plug too. Government is paying part of the cost for home chargers but I just temporarily live in a friend’s basement so that’s not ideal for me.
I live in semi-rural Quebec. I can either drive to a place about 5 minutes from my home and charge for a few dollars, takes about 5 hours. Park and rides also have charging stations so going to Montreal means I can charge during the work day. I only use my car like twice a week when I need to visit family or go to the office, so your mileage may vary.
The real solution for about 75% of people isn’t EV, it’s public transportation and proper bike infrastructure/bike shares/mixed use neighborhoods/density. That is especially true for people living in places dense enough to have apartments. An EV is nice, but it is a patch, not a fix. Not needing a car is the fix. Cities just can’t afford to have one car per 2-3 person.
The growing hate for billionaires by the people, the growing manifestations of desire for equality from minorities in the west, South Korea and Japan starting to make peace because they can agree on the China problem. Also I can see how things changed in 30 years and can tell that within 5 years we have the ability to completely upend the world if we need to. Humans are so adaptable that we don’t even notice how fast we’re changing our world and ourselves.
I wish any of my friends were into fantasy /Science fiction. I can’t sit down and have coffee with a friend to gush about the latest Brandon Sanderson book or talk build orders in Homeworld
Give me your olives then. I don’t mind
