I think that the middle ground is actually what "the anti-car people" have been pushing lately. The anti-car people that I know (that includes me) don't want to take your car away and watch the world burn, they mostly want yo

I’ve never reinstalled a Mac. I literally don’t know how to do that. I’ve upgraded my M1 Air to Sonoma yesterday and everything seems to be working, just as it did on Big Sur, Monterey and Ventura. My girlfriend still uses my 2013 MacBook u

While most people here seem to worry about cooling the engine, if you did this with a modern high-efficiency diesel, like a recent VW 2.0 TDI, the engine would probably struggle to reach any kind of operating temperature at all.

Brutal. To compare: I live in the Czech capital, in a 45 sq.m. apartment in a quiet, green neighborhood, the rent is $920, healthcare is free, my expensive car insurance (cheap car but every-checkbox-checked insurance) and parking is < $
