I've visited and that sounds exactly like how it will work out. Say you live in Long Beach and you're going to some venue on the other side of town. Are you going to take a bus the whole way? No, you'll drive close by, find p

In the UK the pedals are supposed to provide the assist. Handlebar mounted throttles are not allowed. None of this is enforced.

Ah, so there's no shutter at all then? As in, the mirror itself forms the shutter? For some reason I figured there were both. Makes sense I guess.

The mirror being up likely refers to the viewfinder mirror. I haven't used a DSLR, only mirrorless, but I wonder if that could be independent of the shutter.

I don't know about the Canon 1000D but almost all cameras I've used recently have electronic shutters. There is a rolling shutter penalty so you wouldn't want to use it in the "real world" for moving subjects but if

Where you live is personal preference for the vast majority of Western individuals, at least barring visa issues. It's more of a prioritisation thing e.g. some people will live in New York even though they hate it because they get paid

I don't really agree with your premise because you are not incorporating the positive contributions of additional users. Take the metro as an example. Each additional user is another person in my personal space, they could be smelly, t

Sure. I simply gave my 2c on your question. > Would you be willing to keep your car if it meant having to pay for all its externalities and extra infrastructure costs? Yes. I would. And honestly there really isn't much in it. In the

It's not weird at all. Both vastly improve my quality of life. I could get by without either, but I'd rather not. I'll edit it out of my reply since you seem averse to analogy. Cars are everywhere. American choices to have hu

It honestly isn't _that_ different in the UK. Outskirts of a smaller city, you are 0.5-1 mile from everything. A corner shop, a takeaway, anything. Some Americans think that everywhere is like central London or Berlin or whatever. Most

> Would you be willing to keep your car if it meant having to pay for all its externalities and extra infrastructure costs? This is such a weird line of inquiry. Yes! It is the largest single QoL improvement I have after my house. Almost

This isn't really true outside of some very tarmaccy American cities. I live in London, UK. I can use my car to get to places, it just costs more, through congestion charges, parking, and time. The car hugely, hugely increases my explo

As someone who has some of the traits this is absolutely it. When you spend your childhood being told by people to do things that will lead to, well, almost certainly being poor and having a shit life, you learn to just ignore advice and do

I do that too! I tear napkins in half, sometimes quarters, then I keep the small bits and use them later. Or use the napkin from the table to mop up spills if it didn't get used much. That sort of thing.

Right. It's difficult to compare because the quantities involved are relevant. If paper were 100x more expensive today, e.g. it would cost £1 per A4 sheet rather than £0.01, but it was the only way to take notes, then I would still buy

Sure, I have done all three for a work commute as well. It just depends where you live and where the job is. The city is not homogeneous, nowhere over maybe a few km in radius is.

I don't think that an overall statistic works very well for this. I live in London and I probably do split my time very roughly 1/3 ish across the three modes as stated. But that's because I'm doing different things. The

This has never made sense to me because it is essentially arguing that, say, the fifty year period between 1960 and 2010 doesn't exist. I don't care if maintaining large roads and power and water is expensive. I'm happy to pa

I don't agree with cutting mental health services and don't believe that it is equivalent to giving free money to people. > they're dead weight in companies and vampires on romantic partners This is trivially avoidable in

No, they have declined. Already, and continue to do so. People like to have more stuff, bigger houses, better cars, air conditioning, whatever.

by throwaway22032 2y ago
You're forgetting about the bit in which you've literally given the person thousands of dollars. They use that free money to get you to do things for them. It's hidden behind bureaucracy but it's the same thing. Worse, e

It's not Star Trek, even in very automated industries someone has to do the things. If you don't get in the tractor and plough the field you don't get the wheat. Economic value is no less real. If anything, it's much mor

Have you ever interacted with a free rider? You know, those guys who always dodge their round at the pub, they never pay you back that fiver, they always need somewhere to crash? Hell, have you ever dated someone like that, or known a frien

"Increasing shareholder value" is a meme. In both the US and UK over 30% of households are owned outright with no mortgage. The economy is made up of us, it's not (predominantly) a downtrodden serving a tiny elite. Most peopl

I think that you're getting stuck on bullshit jobs. There are real things that need to be done. As I mentioned - sweeping the street, pruning the shrubs, painting the fence. Care work. Childcare. Helping people navigate the metro. In m

The fundamental problem that I see with UBI is that it basically means that we are just paying people to be passive consumers of resources. It'll always be a hard sell as a result. People want their neighbours to pull their weight. Eve

I find it indistinguishable and in some ways better. At least 60fps maybe more. You can tell that it is a screen because of the HUD etc but it doesn't "feel" like one in practice. I hear that the newer ones are better still.

My Sony a7 mirrorless solves basically all of the issues you have described. The menu hierarchy isn't flat. Physical knobs for everything, even customizable. Touch to focus (though I prefer using the ring tbh). BT/WiFi transfer. A
