The Fall Out Boy remix of Hand Crushed By A Mallet by 100 Gecs (https://spotify.link/Vtwt9T0DhDb) is absolutely fantastic, a brilliant pop punk cover right up until the end when it's just melted into absolute fucking noise. I get it, it's Gecs. But just let it be a good cover - please.
Looks like they did get the message with their most recent album as it's a lot more listenable.
Just wanted to jump in here - I ended up doing as the commenter below me has said and bought a 20TB external hard drive. Well worth doing imo. I'm going to keep all of my important media that I want to save on the 5TB as a backup.
Why don't we do this more? Tram tracks don't need to be on concrete.
Thanks for crossposting mate!
for a distance of 5km, which is around 10 minutes by car, I needed 2 hours from the time I set off.
Wow, that's insane. I feel like a lot of these problems are similar to my hometown of Brisbane, Australia. Very car centric and sprawling, almost nobody walks if they can help it.
Adding real time tracking for buses and dedicated bus lanes was massively helpful and really improved the system - from personal experience, knowing exactly where my bus was helped me plan how to get to the stop in time to catch the buses to university.
It sounds like if they did something similar here, it would be a big increase in ridership - knowledge is power!
Really pleased to hear this. I will be staying on Beehaw for the foreseeable future, I'm on the same page as the admins.
I feel a bit weird stimulating that community myself, because I don't live there any more. It was really nice to keep up with what was going on! And some people do post on Lemmy...but not enough.
Amen to that!
It's a status symbol. I used to live next to tradies who would laugh about a guy turning up on the worksite with a cheap Ute or an automatic transmission. Having a big, powerful muscle car is - as Nick Offerman describes it - like having a carapace for these men to hide in and feel protected.
I have owned a SUV in the past - Toyota Rav. I really liked that car. It was a pain to park and I scraped it a few times, but it felt nice to be higher up and comfortable, especially when I was a new driver.
I know in hindsight now I don't need any of those things. I'm a lot more confident as a driver and am perfectly happy with smaller cars.
You should watch Not Just Bikes' video on Light Trucks, it's pretty eye opening.
That's sad. But do you think it's less to do with wanting to own a bigger car, and more that regular people can't really afford to buy new cars anyway? So the sample size is skewed in favour of rich people (or moderately well off) who can actually afford a new car in the first place?
Maybe that's why we are seeing a surge in e bikes.
YES. Thank you. This is the kind of community I've been looking for.
