Just passed away last month 😞
OP using word ‘convinced’ is relevant here because whilst most people in USA ‘need’ a car (because there is no practical alternative to driving), they are being convinced every day that a private car is the only viable solution to transport in general…
… and then of course you get everyone freaking out when someone has the audacity to suggest that installing a dedicated bike / bus lane would mean less people need a car, and that would save everyone time and money.
Also while I’m ranting, I’m so over people harping on about how they can’t rely on public transit and that’s why they need a car. Like reliable and affordable public transport is some magical and unobtainable goal.
But then when gas prices inevitably get crazy high, or they get in a wreck, or traffic is a mess then that’s just The Way It Is and in no way an indication that maybe everyone driving a personal car for every single trip isn’t the most reliable or sustainable way to run a city.
10/10 would visit again.
I fell in love with him after the execution of the Dasani video. Walking backward ten minute single take, amazing: https://youtu.be/wD79NZroV88
Did you see spin off Practical Construction yet? That’s next level production, my wife laughed at me waiting for next ep like it’s GoT or something.
Also do you notice that YT never pushes PBS videos? I’m subscribed but always have to go to channel.
Since you like a lot of same as me: check out Climate Town.
What a lazy joke.
Indirect, but you could run a Storj node and donate the profits to a good cause of your choice.
Also, assuming you don’t buy more hardware, and you believe sustainability is a good cause, then running a node in itself is a good thing.
This. I’m a computer programmer, never been in a union, but after twenty years of startups I cannot believe how good it is to be at a small, stable, employee owned company.
Only looking back do I realize that the people doing the actual work were never in control, and just how damaging that is.
To pour you life and soul into building something (time, and time again), and then have it taken away from you again, and again.
Never going back.
Not presently, see discussion here.

Well, not necessarily, right? It could be funded any number of ways, but on YT you’re locked in to either watching their ads, or paying their premium.
Well yes, this is the problem isn’t it:
I’ve been really enjoying https://nebula.tv/, but yes, I wish they’d built it on top of PeerTube.

There are even companies springing up who will run and host it for you, for a price, of course.
Here’s the definition of default I’m using (from Google):
a preselected option adopted by a computer program or other mechanism when no alternative is specified by the user or programmer. (weird it specifies “a computer program or other mechanism”, but whatever)
My argument is that the default meal including meat is what makes including meat the most popular choice, not the other way around.
If you are ‘pro car’ then you should definitely be resistant to adding lanes (and pro using that money for transit alternatives).
Getting cars off the road is the only thing that’s going to make driving less miserable in the kinds of places were adding lanes is suggested.
Sure, but you could e.g. start with slop and then let people request something different. That’s what I meant by ‘default’. Perhaps there’s a better world?
I sure there’s a fancy word in psychology, but it’s like if everyone is given choice x automatically, then it shouldn’t be a surprise that x seems to be what people prefer.
I’ve noticed a similar thing in the Subway sandwich store: there are approximately the same number of vegetables and meats available, but if you look at the menu there is just one ‘veggie’ option, and a multitude of different meat combinations.
Because humans don’t need meat to survive.
Whatever you pick checkout Yousician if they have it. It’s great for learning.
