The fact that X exists doesn't mean the "era of X" has started yet, you have to have the exponential adoption curve. The "Internet Age" started several years after the Internet was created And clearly, adding this f

I don’t follow your argument - yes of course, the only way to put a stop to this madness is by global legislation, but that shouldn’t stop us naming and shaming those who keep doing it in the meanwhile. If slave labour is legal in North Kor

> This is solvable with synthetic fuels and offsets. Well, until it is solved (and it clearly isn’t- carbon offsets are basically bullshit), maybe we should work on that rather than making the amount of stuff to offset even bigger? Forci

by namdnay 4y ago
Why not? Maybe because it’s the exact opposite of what we should be doing? We need to find ways for people to burn less carbon, not more. How about improving the efficiency of normal aircraft, or even better work on ways to reduce travel al

I’m not a fan of escooters, but the main advantage i see is that once folded they can easily be carried up to the office and put under a desk. And similarly they take very little space in a small flat if you don’t have a garage. Not really

Believe me, hiking the alpine GRs without a map is asking for trouble. The trails are very well maintained but you need to plan your days, you don’t want to be tired out at 4pm in the middle of a very rocky portion. And if you were to hit f

The French hiking federation is a nonprofit, and the vast majority of members are volunteers. But you still have costs, maintaining these routes costs money They’re not charging toll. They’ve got an outdated funding model based on selling m

In the past if you wanted to do a GR you would need to buy one of their maps. There’s no way you’re going to plan a 2-week hike without a map Now that’s challenged by the internet

> significant amount of time doing unpaid labor for a company That’s such a strange way to look at it… if a company advertises, are they doing “unpaid labour to help me manage my purchasing”?

Feasible as in “if it’s a major life event you will be able to manage it”

by namdnay 4y ago
Everything is feasible if there’s a real incentive. There’s an unrealistic expectation that somehow we must be able to keep the same level of “transport easiness” in the post carbon era. That just won’t be the case. We won’t be going back t
