I haven't been on here in a very long time, it's good to see some things never change

Where are they going exactly?

Took me 3 weeks to respond to this. Hahaha

@stephenraitz.bsky.social nice meeting you today!

Totally agree with fewer cars. For sure

I think I'm done with all social media. This was the last chance and I have to say, it's not really worth anyone's time here.

This is definitely an "all of above" type problem. Short term things to mitigate, long term fight climate change to reduce the frequency

I don't understand this. I have an EV and an ebike, and have never, ever thought of that as a contradiction. Walkable/bokahle cities are best, for the rest we want EVs

When will Edmonton's Coliseum finally be demolished? | CBC News Edmonton’s Coliseum was closed in 2017 and it’s expected to take at least another two years before the building is in rubble on the ground.

When we bought our new house we actually decided in advance what do with our old house. Seemed pretty obvious

Great point. We need to keep these companies on their toes. I don't think race would really enter into it when kids are crossing the street but lord if it ever did we'd have to jump on these companies

The nice thing here is that these cars' behavior can be fixed in one software update, unlike teaching thousands of drivers to follow the law

Yeah sorry ev9. That's the third row one

God I wanted this thing to be great, but it's just not. Ev6 is the surprise, seats 6, longer range and cheaper

Final? We've heard that before

Are they very effective? I have no idea.

I saw a car ad showing how a vehicle can you get out of town, away from all the noise and pollution, caused by cars. It's ridiculous

Yeah I've had this argument with them. I understand there are circumstances where it's not suitable but it can't be a blanket rule against bikes. Especially when some of the extracurricular events happen a 5 minute ride from our house

I didn't love this one. It's very well done, don't get me wrong, but it's awfully bleak. I should probably expect it from a Cyberman story but it's too dark for me

Katy Manning is incredible in it though!

Absolutely. Love not having to hit the brakes, it's a huge safety advantage

This is why I'm so passionate about renewables. Reducing the number of people would in theory reduce the harm, but each person's carbon footprint would still be greater than 0

If Santa came to me after all that emotional abuse, because now he needs my nose to save his night, I'd tell him to screw off. Kindness is free. Screw you Claus

If the United States became a province of Canada, Americans could enjoy benefits such as no gerrymandering or yearly government shutdowns. Also, being able to just tap your card at a restaurant to pay instead of having to give it to a waiter to take away and come back with a paper for you to sign.

Plus pay at the pump. I had to go inside to buy gas for my rental car. I had no idea how many pints to hectare or whatever that thing took. Just let me pump till its full

After watching the same old Christmas movies all week I'm so glad to have a brand new #doctorwho Christmas special to enjoy

I call them accordion buses, could someone play accordion music in the bar? Not huge, a quartet would be enough

Have you looked in the back? I bet it's in the back. Most shops keep stuff back there specifically so customers can't buy them
