Before I had a family, I also did not have a car. But in rural areas, it is really, really hard without one. For example one train line in a village close by down in a valley is currently not active for whatever reason. But there are buses

Well yes, we could start by not subsidizing (tax excemption) jet fuel for example. I am also a big fan of very light electric vehicles that are a mix of bicycle and car. But not in combination with SUV tanks and aggressive drivers.

"but you can cover a lot with a mix of trains and buses." Sure and I never debated that and I like Switzerland. But as far as I know, they also have a lot of cars. So both is needed, not either or. And yes please, wherever somethi

Are there any strawmen around? This thread was about replacing cars with trains, where it makes sense. Not to declare cars are the only way.

So you want to ban cars from the cities? I can work with that and would enjoy it, if there are working alternatives. But in general replacing roads with train tracks, is not something I think can work. "So it is not an either or questi

Sure and this is what is being done and makes sense (and could be improved a lot). But parent poster seemed to imply you can replace roads with train tracks.

Not to me. Railroads cover only so much area, leaving the last (hundred) miles to cars. So it is not an either or question and should be stopped treated as such ( in certain circles). Germany has a quite good railroad system, but you really

I found the ads covering all of the foreground to be more annoying, where you even cannot close them, without opening the link. Pity on those who do not know what a adblocker is and have no one to tell them.

I think for steam engines and laser tech, there would have to be some sort of evidence to be found. The only slightly "plausible" theory might be, if a advanced civilisation would have had psychic powers (quantumnwaves something)

Fasting is the most easy for me, when I am busy (preferable in nature on a hike). But when I am at home, surrounded by all kinds of food and kind of bored - then yeah, it can be hard.
