Faster, lighter, stronger.
I still can use a 15yo laptop for daily tasks, still boot in less than 20s (with ssd).
No surprises, I remember having stuff unremovable, like google toolbar, and no forced reboot when you are still working (they fixed this issue).
Software management is way faster : you don’t have to download a zip, unzip, hit the .exe, then accept a fuckload of agreements.
When oil prices went up in 2022, I cried for ukrainian kids but hoped it would be an electrochoc to build a post oil&gas world.
It is not happening fast enough.
If it works like the washing machine in Gattaca, there is a neat risk that it doesn’t end well.
I recommand to watch this -now old- movie by the way
Sweet sweet oil money.
US oil refineries were created to use cheap Venezuelian oil, it can’t use an other source, so now US petro oligarchy wants to secure its monopoly.
The costs will rise, as you say it takes more effort to phase out industrial food.
Here we have fresh and healthy local food for kids, made by a school cook but it is very expensive, fortunately a part of the cost is supported by the city depending on family income.
Yes a pb & j is ultraprocessed food, there is nothing healthy, only fat and sugar.
Check the ingredients of infustrial bread itself you might have surprises
uuuh in winter we have things like cloths, even warmed gloves and boots when really cold ? Go in Montreal to figure it out, some are biking there even in winter.
I am pulling stats out of my close area, national stats are : For distances of less than 5 kilometers, cars still account for 60% of commutes. Less than 5 km can you imagine ?
Just put your ass on a bike instead of your fingers, and just try to do things
Yes it is.
Because it is handcraft compared to car industry (85 millions/year), and not subsidized at all.
Now how much costs a car ? Not only the price, but globally, if you include health impact, infrastructure needs.
I don’t think it is laughable.
A new cargo is 5000€ and you can find used or discounted ones for less than 3000€.
A used car will cost far more in repairs, insurance and gas, my 2010 car is valued around 3000€ and it costs us around 1000-1500€/year.
I don’t think bikes can replace cars for everyone, but many people could use a bike instead or their car 95% of the time, when we see that so much people use a car for less than 5 km.
Only concern is safety to use a bike in the middle of fast cars, but a proper infrastructure (separated bike lanes) solves it for a fraction of the cost of roads and parking places.
There was an article here few weeks ago about how an US governmental agency (I don’t remember which) made screwworm disappear from US decades ago, then Mexico, and managed to contain it to few pockets in central america, and now, just few months after fund cuts from the new government the invasion is spreading very fast and reaching US…
Who could have prevented it ?

So, this is a new coup?
Then it is a monopoly building if you take the limited slots before others companies 😁
I was wondering because starlink’s terminals are around $500 while eutelsat’s are 10k. It seems it can be only possible if you accept massive losses on first years, with help of to investors to keep the company running, to take down competitors. Like uber and many others did, which had years of losses before having income.
The rich didnt lost any money, their stock is just lower than in january, but still higher than last year. And it can still get up.
The poor have to cope with higher prices of basic goods, which never comes down.
Only poors are screwed until they eat the leech
Is starlink business model like uber/airbnb? Killing the market with low prices by circumventing regulations to establish their monopoly?
Trump obtained last thursday (feb 27th) the extradition of 29 drug cartel’s barons from Mexicans prisons to US, so, he quite have the choice
The aim is to raise money to fund public transport, so it will become better and cheaper than cars
Check about retrofit kits, if you have 20k to put in your car
Stop checking the news.
Grab a book before sleeping rather than your phone.
Unfortunately open sourcing is not an option without certification, cause vehucles will not be allowed to go on roads.
At least here in europe
Way cheaper, healthier, funnier, less pollution, no money given to warmongering oligarchies
Sounds good
