You're describing Barcelona to Madrid, which is now one of the busiest rail corridors in Europe and is eating demand for flights between the cities (previously the busiest flight corridor in Europe).

Not just China, which people often correctly point out is willing to do things with zero input or concern for individuals, but most of Europe is able to build stuff with much lower costs than we are while respecting property rights and the

I'm also in a city without a car (and am proud of it), and also struggle with this. One thing that helped me a lot is to buy a few ultra lightweight packable bags. Ones that can be packed into a pocket in themselves. Then I put these i

Hello fellow car free Washingtonian! Selling my car was one of the best decisions I ever made.

I flew on an Alaska branded Embraer craft a few days ago. Do you mean only those operated directly by Alaska? I think mine was operated by Sky West.

I guess it depends on where you live. In Seattle I usually get deliveries the same day when I order in the morning, and there are enough grocery stores in walking distance that I wouldn't pay for delivery.

This looks like a very good project. I am setting up for a new project and I was planning on using ShadcnUI for it, but after reading this blog post I'm interested in trying Daisy. I like the way it's structured for customizabilit

It's the same in the US legally speaking, but from what I've seen, intersections in Germany are designed so that the car is positions pretty much prependicularly to the crosswalk as it crosses, giving the driver good visibility to

I grew up in the suburbs and in college I met a lot of people who grew up in the city, and I became quite jealous of their childhood. They had an independence that I never had. Many of them still don't know how to drive since we all li

Where do you live? It's possible to get gigabit service from a handful of different non Comcast ISPs in most of the city.

Apple Photos is almost impossible to get all your photos out of.

FWIW Apple Photos is even worse. There is no mass export mechanism for Apple Photos, and it won't let you sync an album on MacOS to an external drive. I had to make a MacOS VM on my server and attach a large internal drive. Then, after

It's pretty widespread in Seattle. We have Google Fiber, CenturyLink, and Wave G providing gigabit fiber services in different parts of the city. Then there is Atlas Networks which provides symmetrical gigabit services to apartment bui

This is likely a TMobile issue since the connection gets proxies back to the US when using their roaming service, which slows things down a lot.

I'm surprised to see a lot of people in the comments falling into the same trap as people on my local Nextdoor do. Just because we can't eliminate all tires and cars and trucks doesn't mean it's not hugely beneficial to

My city has been converting lights to be on timers rather than sensors to frequently give pedestrians a walk signal to improve walkability. This leads in to the concept of induced demand, which has been shown to be true over and over in urb

Almost all DC power supplies are switching power supplies these days, which convert AC to DC first, then use DC-DC converters to get to the final voltage. I would think AC transformers are quite rare in homes these days. Maybeeee some micro

I haven't tried it but it should work with Hetzner Storage Boxes over SFTP. Extremely price competitive.

I live car free in Seattle, and with the combo of Amtrak, car rentals, and my ebike, I never feel confined. Even renting a car occasionally costs much less than if I were to own one in parking alone.
