What woods are available for foraging that wouldn't get you arrested for vagrancy? Seems everything is locked down.

Yeah, like, how is that a selling point?

The place next door just got rebuilt as a fourplex, each unit of which is going for 1.6 million dollars. The mortgage would be $8k/month. I and my partner have no kids, no car, and both have solid incomes in union jobs. Our current rent is a hair under $1k/mo because we've been in this place awhile.

That mortgage plus taxes, utilities, would still be almost all our income. It's ridiculous.

They abandoned Linux support. Fuck them. It was one of the only games that did. Linux users were a bug part of their initial success, and they dumped us as soon as the money came in.

At work, when I did desktop support, the number of people who would just hit their power bar when they left every day...

That whole place is a wasted opportunity for a pedestrian zone. It would be so nice if they'd kept the temporary tram line from the Olympics and banned personal vehicles.

No... no, I haven't

Almost like the idea of downtowns as "work zones" fed by commuter residential suburbs was a stupid idea, and making them unliveable by all but the chronic homeless is a problem.

Im curious what non ethical monogamy looks like.

Ugh. As much as I appreciate that people need cheap gas to survive, it does encourage more gas use. :(

[-] rbos@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 year ago

That talking point is a bit out of date - the average price for a car int he USA (for example) is quite a bit higher than base EVs now. They're cheaper to manufacture and gas vehicles won't be able to compete. The only missing piece is infrastructure for charging in some places.

It won't be long before EVs are the cheap option. Tesla for instance is supposedly putting out a cheap option soon, but I'm not holding my breath.

Tesla is probably a good one to bank on, though. The gigacasting process shaves a LOT of manufacturing cost.
