I live in a city with one of the best public transport systems in the world. Anywhere I want to go, there's a bus/tram/trolleybus/subway that goes there and leaves in less than 15 minutes. It costs $150 a year. If that i

Maybe something could be done to make public transport better in your city/region?

They said "judgement", not setting them ablaze. I will also, inevitably, have some sort of opinion on people who have bought a Tesla after Jan 2025.

Is that 90k the "lower average"? In Ukraine? I find that very hard to believe. Even here in Czechia that would put you firmly in the top 5 %. I don't think I personally know more than 2 people who make anything like that, and

Is this the thing where the 99th percentile people somehow think they're the average? I see that a lot on Reddit for some reason.

A car getting 10 MPG consumes, in just 60 miles of driving, the energy equivalent of a household's monthly electricity usage, and can travel less than 200 meters on the energy generated by four hours of running on a treadmill. Please e

I honestly don't understand how anyone can not be ashamed talking about their car getting 10 MPG.

What do you mean by that? And how acquainted are you actually with airport security? I have a family member who works at a (European) airport in an administrative position, and apparently the security culture is quite deep and, I dunno, it

> clashing classes not being an error You’re probably talking about the ability to reopen (or “monkey patch”) classes (which is why defining the same class again can’t be an error). That’s a powerful tool if you use it carefully, especia

How I wish Ruby had been adopted as the glue-lingua franca instead of Python. I get zero joy from writing Python.

I know very little about window managers, but I know a bit about Ruby, so... Does this have any performance implications?

Funny, you could just replace “American” with “German” and the comment would still work, even like 90 years or so ago!

My mini storage place issued me a code that was just the number of my box and the year I was born. Knowing this, I could probably brute force someone else’s code in 30 seconds.

I feel like most commenters in general are absolutely deranged. News articles are the worst for some reason, then YouTube, and Reddit isn’t that much better. I often wonder how these people look, work and function in real life.

That feels compatible with my approach. The mod obviously fits the devs' vision, which makes it canon to me. Especially when it fits so much that they hired the modder.

And what are the official guidelines? Are you just supposed to find a 3rd party provider and pay whatever they ask? That’s kinda shitty if you ask me.
