Not German, but close enough - there’s usually at least one bus within walkable distance, even if it’s only like 4 times a day or something, that connects to a larger hub.

I lived in a place where I had to be by the bus stop at 7h30. If I missed that I’d have to wait for the next at 8h15, and if I missed that one, I’d better call to say I wasn’t able to go that day.

However, in smaller towns and in the countryside, with no cars, life is so different to the frenetic chaos of big cities that it’s hard to put into words.

For science?

You’re still thinking in a context where the earth is travelling around the sun, etc etc.

If you assume the Earth as the reference point, then that is fixed, absolutely frozen, doesn’t move at all. That’s point zero.

You cannot calculate where the earth is. What you do is calculate where everything else, the universe itself and even other dimensions, are with regards to your fixed point.

This can feel counterintuitive, but here’s a random visualization: https://youtube.com/shorts/UZyuZVvCE78

Note that, in that video, only the perspective has changed. The solar system is moving as usual.

Are you perhaps experiencing a fever, discomfort or itching at the bite site, and a sudden and inexplicable fear of water?

Because it’s been a hot minute since I’ve seen such a nonsensical, aggressive response to an innocuous comment…

That’s outright disgusting.

If you need to regularly scratch your anus, go see a doctor.

Also, even if you do need to scratch your anus, why wouldn’t you be able to eat with your hands? SURELY you sanitize them properly RIGHT? RIGHT?!

Relevant username.

Mass tourism.

Mass tourism is a cancer that needs to be irradiated from any proper city. That shit brings very little money, and mobs of unruly, uneducated dimwits that think they own someone’s soul because they spent €5 on a couple of the cheapest drinks on the menu.

What is that 2 - 12 kmh sign? A speed limit for a pedestrian road?

What do you mean, potatoes are closer to tomatoes than to sweet potatoes or onions?

Botany is a scam.

This.

Also, upgrade to Linux.

And probably made of chocolate? I can see where they might have picked that one up.

You’re not very good at this…

Well I mean, if you fell asleep with that cute, satisfied look, it was absolutely worth it!

Hi Stan. I meant to write you sooner, but I’ve just been busy.

I heard the “OUTCH!” In this image.

Don’t know about availability in the US, but at least in Europe there are many, many alternatives out there, both from traditional brands (Mercedes, BMW, etc etc) and more recently, from Chinese brands.

A friend bought a BYD Seal the other day, he got a total bargain for their top version at 41k€, but that got me looking into them, and their lineup is looking pretty impressive.

In Europe at least, Chinese cars.

Last month on my neck of the woods, YoY car sales were up 16% and yet Tesla was down 68% this month alone, while BYD was up 331,6% (yes, 3 digits).

With these changes, Tesla isn’t even in the top 10 anymore (at one point it was #2!) and has been leapfrogged by BYD, who seems very likely to continue climbing and break into the top 3 sellers.

Tesla is dead.

The idiot digs deeper, and shows his true colours. Asinine.

He who sucketh a dick can accommodate a second one.

Why are you crossing out China?

Did you miss the massive investments China is doing there, to buy influence?
