A lot of your points, valid as they are, can be addressed if we have good transparency and oversight.

Let’s take advantage of how digital life has become, make reports accessible to the regular Jane/joe that detail where our tax dollars went.

I don’t care or expect public services to be profitable, just lower cost and higher quality than a private Enterprise version.

Do we need quality, clean, reliable drinking water? Then don’t depend on shitrag nestle, who will figure out how to make it a stratified subscription.

NYC MTA sets Manhattan congestion price at $15 for most vehicles, just one MTA vote left before the first congestion pricing in North America (www.planetizen.com)

New York City’s congestion pricing program is moving forward with a $15 fee on passenger vehicles, reports Stephen Nessen in Gothamist, after the MTA board voted to approve it. The program now enters a 60-day public comment period before a final vote....

You’re partially correct, older bikes didn’t have catalytic converters. Compliance with Euro 5 means all new models past… 2018 I think, must have one equipped.

As for noise, 75db is louder than a modern car, but we don’t have room onboard to dissipate a lot of the sound energy like a car’s long, standing-wave tuned exhaust does.

I don’t have a car, just a bicycle and motorcycle. I like them both, though I trust my bicycle more when there’s a blizzard.

P.s. I also like fortnine videos, he’s mostly correct (though dead wrong about physicists being the grownup version of engineers) but look at the data for yourself. Keep in mind all these values are far, far lower than they used to be. We shouldn’t stop striving for better, but we should keep things in perspective too: bts.gov/…/estimated-national-average-vehicle-emis…

Some morons like to gamble, most of us don’t because of how low (aka zero) reward is vs risk.

But you’ll always remember the people in life making the insane choices vs the regular folk.

Nah man, I absolutely don’t think that’s the case, not is that the case for any fellow city folk. My previous post should have made that real clear. We got all walks of life walking and talking, and a lot of us travel too. We see what we have, and what’s out there as well.

One thing you won’t see me doing is talking shit on other people’s home towns, because that’s low class and low quality thinking. I don’t particularly like small towns or suburbs for social reasons, some people do. That’s ok.

Wake up, do something interesting for a change.

Faulty logic appears to be a forte.

Why should I wait? Do you know what an air cooled engine is? I incur more risk in driving specifically for the benefits of agility and compactness.

I’m sorry that my ability to go past you makes you upset, but again, I’m exposing myself to significantly more danger specifically for the benefits including the ability to not be stopped by the car in front of me, much higher mpgs, lower cost of ownership, etc.

Do you get mad at bicycles because they don’t operate the same as cars? I pass you in the bike lane all the time on my bicycle.

I believe there are m.2 to pcie adapter boards. It’ll feel weird putting laptop components in a desktop, but the important thing will be that it works.

Brave little lightning rod we’ve got here, eh? You must also use Arch!!! (Just playing)

Based on your questions, looks like you need some context too. Thanks for proving your point!

Anyway, I uninstalled snapd immediately.

What friendship?

I’m sorry you don’t have friends. I can be one if you like 😊

RubberElectrons,
@RubberElectrons@lemmy.world avatar

Ok, I believe you 😊

Nope, just pointing out the vegan dig is meh quality. Similar to some people’s comments…

Oh no bigs, just… Never heard of that hahaha. Good luck, hope you make something cool! Check out hackaday if you want some interesting user interface ideas, be they physical or digital

I’m a debian/Ubuntu/freebsd guy. So… Better luck next time with your guesses 🤭

Yeah man, if this is the general quality of humor, I’m unsubscribing from our friendship hahaha.

I understand your point, and still disagree.

If I could injection mold it out of polycarbonate, I would. I’d still rather use this than mindlessly buy 150 plastic prongs, only 5% of each disposed piece being actual floss.
