Have you ever been on a train? It sucks, a bus 10000% more, buses fuckin suck so much, I’m sorry for you to hear this in the echo chamber which features ‘fuck cars’.
Have you?
Trains and buses, when funded, are fine. Millions of people take them every day.
I work from home but I used to daily commute by train. Walk to station. Wait a few minutes. Get on. Arrive at destination. I read so many books and finished so many games.
I was curious so I tried to find average sizes in NYC. The Internet is full of slop and I hate it. anyway, I found
Average apartment sizes in NYC in 2026:
Studio: 400–550 sq ft (37–51 m²)
1-bedroom: 600–800 sq ft (56–74 m²)
2-bedroom: 850–1,100 sq ft (79–102 m²)
3-bedroom: 1,100–1,500 sq ft (102–139 m²)
But at least in the city you get a walkable living place with mass transit. Very few goats, however.
Unfortunately, most people who supported Republicans in the past won't learn any real lessons. They'll vote for the same sorts of policies again.
Do you have the same fear about trains?
Get rid of privately owned cars and you might be on to something. If the state owned a fleet of self driving cars you could rent at the car library, that would probably be better than everyone having their own car they park somewhere most of the time.
Building walkable living spaces with mass transit would be better for more people environmentally, economically, health-wise, socially...
Many people are weirdly helpless about computers. If you've ever tried to help someone with tech, you've probably encountered the
Kind of user.
I tip generously at my local bar and in return they sometimes give me free stuff. Got a whole sandwich recently.
Interesting. We used the free localstack at a previous job and it kind of sucked. Mostly we were trying to do S3, and it made adding a lot of files kind of painful. Looks like this has better support for "I need to load a bunch of files into S3 when I start working".
Can you map a directory and subfolders to S3 with this, or so you need to make calls to "upload" everything?
I remember one time at a party, in my early 30s, some guy pops out "isn't love just a social construct?". Looked at him for a moment and said, "ok, I guess. And so?" but he didn't have anywhere to go with it.
It was memorable because we were all like whole ass adults, but he still came off as a 13 year old the whole time.
Huh. I did not know this. It might make it a little easier to navigate! It'd still be a lot of options spread out in a weird way, but a filter could help.
There's still going to be an opportunity cost. You can build massive renewable sources, but powering a data center with it is a shit use compared to other things.
I just don't want to compete with other people. I used to play a lot of quake and team fortress, but it just feels kind of pointless now.
