Convenient, easy to use, large user base, one point registration for multiple communities, tends to simply just work.

But is it the best? Nah. And their increased monetisation drives are annoying.

An alternative for me is pretty much useless if it's not an alternative for my groups. Those I use discord with. It is more likely we migrate to a corporate solution than a foss one.

I would bet all the pieces to make a better communication suite than discord are there. They just need to be put together into a package and marketed well.

It can also tie into mandatary rests, that the vehicle has to be stationary. And that is good thing as it makes it harder for emplyers to exploit their drivers.

So there is another one who brew in a french press!

What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

Some hammocks even have the bug net built in creating a nice bugfree cocoon.

What modes of transport do you really like?

For me personally, trams are right up there. Aside from the main issue of sharing the roads instead of having a dedicated line, they really make it easy to get from one part of a city to another, especially for wheelchair users. They're usually as frequent as buses, but much faster. The stations are much more attractive compared...

Bike is #1, all day every day. I don't move to a place unless I have a grocery store and other services within bikeable distance.

Then it's busses and trains.
