Let’s gooooo!

Some have, many haven’t though eg The Philippines stands out as complete cluster fuck.

Deliberately lived car free for 4 yeaes here in Australia, choose to live somewhere with better public transport and walking distance to shopping/services. Had a large shopping centre with doctors, dentist, chemist, groceries and a bazillion speciality shops across the road. Walking, PT, an e-scooter and bicycle were all we needed. I worked from home, my parter used her e-scooter for her 4km round trip to work. Busses really suck, they’re what cities use when thy have run out of ideas, we used the light and heavy rail often.

Fuck cars :)

. I hate cars but most car fatalities are accidental not intentional.

Is it ? Using that logic, a drunk driver killing somone is an accident.

The continued city design of enshrining cars as the primary mode of transport is intentional, people voting for politcans who are car brained is intentional, driving a car knowing there is a not insignificant risk of killing or hurting somone is intentional. Knowing this, a traffic death is really just manslaughter

Back in the 70s the Dutch rioted to remove cars from streets becase they were “accidentally” killing children, that’s the appropriate response to deaths of chikdren.

But isn’t AHr a better measure for battery storage ?

Back in late 1982 (i think it was), i was 16, I’d just convinced my folks to buy me a Commodore 64. It had a tape drive for storage, long before broard Internet access etc. I had magazines about programming in Assembler and programmed a couple games to play becase i didnt have access to, well, anything.

I still remember my bottom porky pig balloon shooter :)

SYS 64738 my dudes.

My next computer was an Amiga 1000, floppy and pirating in my local user group were a thing by then :)
