These are the same people who wouldn’t get a vaccine for a life-threatening disease because Tucker Carlson told them not to (right after he got his).

I’m not sure where this “fact” about the Chinese controlling the lithium supply comes from. Just kidding, it’s a racist right-wing talking point that has been picked up by normal and reasonable people.

Whinging is also a thing - and is different to whining.

It’s not “near impossible”, it’s actually impossible.

Like a lot of real estate definitions these are outdated by about twenty years.

Plus it’s federally insured, not volatile at all, and safe in CoinBase, right?

Same in Malaysia (death penalty for drugs).

Exactly - I got a consistent 50mpg on the motorway causing at 65-70 and 35-40 on short trips. I put over 800 miles on it in a week, so I think I got a good feel for the variability.

I rented a Euro mid size SUV (which would be a small SUV here - think X1 or Q3) in the UK last month. Delivered an average of 50mpg. Allowing for UK vs US gallons, that’s still 40 mpg. Gas not diesel, 5 passenger, four doors and decent hatchback load space.

I’m torn - as a scientist I’m curious as to how it will affect us - but I know there will be untold suffering. The humanitarian side of me would rather we get our shit together and do something.

You only pay one way.  BUT, a large proportion of the traffic is trucks who pay a lot more than $16 one way.  I bet they clear a billion dollars a year easily

And it’s all less than 50 years old. Right around the time Boomers decided they didn’t want to pay taxes any more (Thanks Ronnie!), the Asian countries decided they would in fact invest in infrastructure. So the Seoul subway went from zero in the early 70s to 735 miles across 22 different lines today and a bunch of…

A million people just died of COVID in the US alone (6.1M worldwide) and half the population will tell you today “it’s just the flu”(which also kills up to 50,000 people a year in the USA).

The pandemic has shown very clearly that a large part of the population will do literally nothing at all to keep themselves or…

I guess most of the people that said Tokyo have never been to Seoul. Tokyo is good, but there are three different companies and unless you buy a pass for all three it’s tough to navigate how to pay for each ride. Seoul is much simpler, just as clean, has better connectivity, and just works.
