They should do a merger to form a giant conglomerate.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

I think "at the bare minimum" did a lot of heavy lifting.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

And then a kid with two dagger came from the back and murder all of them

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Me when customer came in 2 minute before closing and demand service:

Annoyed_Crabby ,

They've been doing this for a while now. Panda and Polar Bear did basically nothing, but i'd argue it add to the environment.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Good point. Facade alter people perspective far quicker than waiting for systemic change, and once perspective change, systemic change will follow. Better to have acceptance plaster everywhere, even if it's hollow or propaganda-ish, than hate.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

That background trump... Is that Centaur from Fallout 3?

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Ohh wait lol it's supposed to be DC area in Capital Wasteland

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Wait, what? Be a replacement for their mother? Who would want that?

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Rise and shine, sleepy head, rise and...shine.

Discord now listen to all the conversation and then if there's a particular topic that's being discussed, the app will notify you about the topic that's discussing right now(or "highlight" of the conversation). I don't know if the "listening" part happened on server-side or client-side though.

It get worst each update.

No i can't make the category tap shows up, it's permanently blocked by my navigation bar.

First thing first: fuck reckless and dangerous driving.

But yikes, once the authorities take one step in, they will never take a step back.

Also it's Singapore, a city that make it extremely expensive to own a car, essentially lock the option out for anyone who can't pay sgd100k± for the certificate. And car is also extremely expensive to buy.

But despite that, one doesn't need to own a car to travel around Singapore, it's a very walkable city despite the weather.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

More like influenced by British police, since it's an ex colony.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

I mean it's kinda same when people say www instead of world wide web, even though the word has less syllable than the letter

Annoyed_Crabby ,

There will be a generation that didn't know lol stand for laugh out loud but will lol along.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Wub wub wub

Annoyed_Crabby ,

But man, it sucks to waste money on a bomb.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

How winner? Winner winner, bread and butter

Annoyed_Crabby ,

We all know they want the big D, all these "hunting" are just for show.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

I'm also annoyed that these are "meme" now.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Ahh yes, voluntary mandatory, just like life imprisonment death sentence.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

It's a dog that hunt primarily human gorbage.

It's actually still doable, but requires some creative thinking to undo the damage done for half century. Train can carry people from suburb into the city, the last mile can be solved either by brt, tram, or by micromobility. Bus, tram, and bicycle need their own dedicated lane for this to work nicely. This won't necessarily prevent people from driving but it will make driving not the only way to go to work.

Places that were developed around the automobile and climate contril are very difficult to convert.

Iirc Amsterdam is basically that, it used to be car-centric but the government take away that monopoly and give it back to bicycle and micro-mobile. Paris is another recent example on how bicycle usage is rising if given the proper safety infrastructure to ride around. It's also a car-centric city before this.

It's not that it's hard, it's just lack of political will and dinosaur way of thinking. It's something that never crossed their mind.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

It can't be -30°c 2m of snow for 350 days a year, right?

Annoyed_Crabby ,

It's weird because all, and i mean ALL, furniture and electronic shop in my country will do delivery for you, most even do it for FREE.

Then there's 3rd party delivery service via an app.

Cities design around walking is technically harder because the space limitation if they want to share it with car, but tend to have everything in close proximity, which in that case it's far easier to just ban car from entering and cater the street to just pedestrian and bicycle/non-electric scooter. Cities design around car however, is easier to convert, as they tend to have wider road and more lane for car. They just need to take away one lane and give it to cyclist and that's it. The only hard part is going through the legislation and carbrain.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Because your concern seems to be disproportionately weighted on extreme weather?

Annoyed_Crabby ,

If that isn't your intention, then i'm sorry, but i'm not the only one getting the same vibe, and i genuinely not sure why you bring out extreme condition where other mode of transport doesn't work either.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

It just moves the traffic to the transit stations

The first step and the mindset is already wrong, focusing on moving traffic instead of removing traffic. So yeah, of course it wouldn't work. Houston failed at it doesn't mean other city would fail too.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

People can't travel 30 miles from their home to the office entirely using public transit.

Does ALL Americans travel 30 miles for work?

Walkable cities and light rail are Last-mile. Heck - throw in high-speed for the majority of the transit and you still have a huge first-mile problem, which is by far the hardest to solve.

Foldable bicycle? Kick scooter? Skateboard? Frequent scheduled tram? Frequent scheduled buses? Walkable suburb?

The reasons modern cities are designed around cars is because cars are flexible.

So does all those micromobile.

Add a street for a new row of houses and every single one of those points is connected to every end point in a single step. No new scheduling, routing, or transit lines required

That's what called lazy design, and that's why american and all the people from car dependent city are so miserable about their daily commuting.

Problem solved with a little asphalt.

Our definition of "little" might be a bit different.

It's an easy solution

And a costly one. Maintaining road for car is far more expensive than for public transport because of the amount of people each mode of transport carry.

backing out of it is very, very difficult

It's difficult because it's written into stupid law by stupid politician. That's what i called lacking political will.

because it must be replaced with a complicated, expensive solution that's less-convenient for most users.

It's not even about replacing one for another, it's about providing a good, viable option, and not a half done one then call it a day, to people who want to use such infrastructure.

I'm not anti-transit at all, but people around here seem to believe that a city can be fixed with the power of wishes and fairy dust just because another city that covers 1/10th the area and was developed hundreds of years before auto-centric decelopment ago managed to do it.

Nobody think that, that's just strawman argument. You know why people around here don't take you seriously? Because you never pay attention to what their stand are. There's a reason carbrain is a popular term with urbanist/pro-strong town because car people just can't seems to wrap their head around on the concept of giving people the option for viable alternative transport. Literally every car brain i met seems to believe everyone is living on some edge case hence car should be the only transport, they never seems to think edge case is just that, edge case.

I'll just leave this video here.

Lemme raise you a challenger: microwave beeping at 3am.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

I'm raised in an era full of ads, from tv to radio to cinema to street, and i still have absolutely no patient for ads. Streaming and sailin really helps with cutting unnecessary time spend in ads. On the other hand my nephew and niece wouldn't mind the ads.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

My time it's like 20min shows, 10min ads. At least shows back then make use of this structure, these day ads on stream/youtube just shows up like spanish inquisition.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

I think class divide surely exists, but from my experience, it's really about whether people are bothered by it. For me i based my living on ad-free mindset so i set my priorities on getting rid of ads and focus a bit more on privacy. My siblings and friends on the other hand, don't mind any of those, so they continue using reddit/facebook and youtube(with ads), all with pay grade higher than me.

He got the pick that bosnian bill and lockpicking lawyer made, nothing can stop him.
