At least for the gas this is the start of a better way of thinking about the problem. When I still lived in the US, I heard ppl complain about the price of gas all the time. However, I never heard complaints about our dependency on gas or the economic problem that the cheapest stuff there is per volume felt expensive to buy.

It’s pronounced “Uranus”, not “Uranus”.

I wonder if the most recent people to switch to public transport and cycling were the nicest remaining drivers. Where I live at least, it seems this could be playing a major role.

Boycotting Amazon is easy and fun.

This is a helpful clarification, thanks. Then my question to you is, should the viber cease and desist? Is this not a valid way for them to foment an interest in software/tool/website development? Surely if their code has deep issues, they’ll discover that eventually and maybe learn from it, right?

Like, someone could try to learn a language by only using an ai translator. It’s lazy and not as effective, but I wouldn’t discourage someone from pursuing the language on account of that.

Fair. But my impression is that passing snippets around has been standard practice since the beginning. What makes the code yours, in my opinion, is the application of the snippets and the creativity involved. I don’t see the LLMs as threatening this in a big way, yet.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head with wanting bike traffic to be separated for everyone’s sake. However, riding a bike on a sidewalk instead of in the road isn’t safer for anyone, which is why it’s illegal in many if not most US cities. I know it’s counterintuitive. Reading up about it might help curb some of your frustration though.

I read the German source article someone else posted and you’re spot on. The thinner air is the main advantage for the reason you mentioned. But apparently snow-reflected light off the surrounding peaks is a significant factor as well. I find that interesting.

Commendable. I don’t recommend it, but I commend it.

I didn’t realise anyone still uses facebook. Like in developed countries I mean.

For anyone who doesn’t immediately have a clear idea of what 2.5 billion redneck units of water is, it’s about 10 million m^3 or 6 Roman colosseums of water. About 1 lake.

I’m just imagining Kiwis not getting it

I found it a captivating film to watch. It was powerful and left its impression. I’m glad I saw it, no regrets at all, and I recommend it but I think one viewing suffices.

Sure, but don’t geizhalz results include Amazon? I wish one of these product search engines would include more based filters like ‘remove ethically questionable companies from the results’

Turkish the chat to also enter it did

There are good lists of alternatives out there. For Germany, I like this one: https://lmaa.space/

I also check out the collections of other bandcamp users who like the same obscure bands as me

What is the two element set where the first element is the best possible question I could ask and the second element is the answer to that question?

For simple batch edits, resizing or conversion it’s amazing tho.

Many of them also subscribe to a middle eastern religion. You’d think they’d be huge fans of the place.
