As recently as 2019 I would refuse to purchase gasoline at a station that was pay-before-pump. There were enough options. This is no longer the case sadly.

Over-selling tags for profit generation sounds like a problem that needs to be taken care of.

That doesn't mean that it couldn't pay for the slot. Just that something could turn out more money. Many of us value things beyond pure profit at all cost.

But that's the issue: they aren't using petabytes as a unit, they are using petabits

They may as well be for a lot of us. I'd never heard of Kroger before a few months ago, and apparently they're one of the biggest grocery store chains. Their size doesn't mean that everyone knows about them.

3% isn't that low when you consider how many people there are.

This is hardly a drop in the bucket compared to what was paid for PPP loans. It can't even remotely be compared to the actual corruption.

If there were stores that were within walking distance I'm sure they would be used more. For a lot of us this isn't true. And often the prices will be higher and with a more restricted selection of items. I think there's a lo

And if you do these things and it doesn't solve your problems, don't feel bad about it. People really hype up the effects of working out but for some of us it doesn't change anything.

They might've passed your family by but it isn't that rare to hear of a Heinz preference and that includes the Midwest.

I'm sure they could find a way to use the commerce clause for this if they wanted. They can use it for nearly anything already.

Someone is saying "the way this works is wrong, it should work differently" and you're responding "that's not how this works" to that. How does that help?

Setting it up in a way that is sufficiently robust is non-trivial. It's not unworkable but we shouldn't underestimate it.

How would the power usage of bitcoin scale if it did serve every American? Until that question has an answer I don't think this argument can be considered valid. It's an incredible waste as it is, but just dismissing it outright d

The amount of economic activity it supports is somewhat of a poor measure without further information. Yes, it is a complete waste in its current form. But that doesn't strictly mean that the electricity usage will scale with the perce

We absolutely owe it to ourselves to continue calling it what it is: twitter. X is a letter, not the name of a website.

That's an incredibly subjective take. I don't agree at all. I don't care what they call it but I don't understand this reasoning.

That doesn't sound right. The fries alone cost nearly that much now. I'm also nowhere near as expensive of an area.

Nobody mentioned trombones. This discussion is about automobiles.

I am a 400 foot tall purple platypus-bear with pink horns and silver wings. Describing yourself in a certain way doesn't make it true.

You don't have an abnormal take here at all. Most people are incredibly resistant to this idea. My prediction is that it won't be a choice for the majority of people. Cars are inherently too expensive for each of us to own one, an

Being irresponsible with alcohol is baked into the culture. I don't think that is a good example to use.

Why would I want to drive somewhere just to shop? I don't care about rain. If it is absolutely pouring I don't need to to out. I don't feel the need to live entirely disconnected from nature.

Why? It's because you're making other people pay a large part of the cost for your convenience. We aren't going to tolerate it forever.

Seems that you're in the extreme minority in this one. I find that most items that are in brick in mortar stores are just junk, and I can have a wider selection online. Generally I don't return things because I was selective befor

I find it interesting to see the words "twin cities" referred to here as if we all know what that is. I can see that this is referring to Minneapolis as per the link, but without that we would be left to guess. Here's a list

If we can't make the more efficient cities sustainable, why in the world would it be possible to do the same thing with everyone spread out?

I am vehemently on the side against cars, but I will wholeheartedly refute that our summer weather can be worked around with clothing. It's far too hot and humid for that to do anything.

The parking lot requirements are a large part of what makes cars the only viable transport option in an area. They do need to go. And yes, other means of transport need to be provided.
