Talking to carbrains always be like:
"Train tickets are more expensive than driving a car."
"Because you aren't counting the costs of buying and maintaining a car."
"But everyone has to have a car!"
So from now on, I arbitrarily decree that everyone, obligatorily and without exceptions, has to have an unlimited railway pass. Therefore, traveling by train is free and driving a car is infinitely many times more expensive. Thank you for your attention.

Study: There is less room to store carbon dioxide, driver of climate change, than previously thought
The world has far fewer places to securely store carbon dioxide deep underground than previously thought, steeply lowering its potential to help stem global warming, according to a new study that challenges long-held industry claims about the practice.

Using (cargo) bikes to get shit done. Had to pick up the car after getting new tires installed, so on the way home from work swapped cargo bike for car at the gas station, drove home, rode the 3-speed back to the garage, and towed it home behind the cargo bike.
The cost of the car repair was equal to the cost of the Big Dummy's frame (though not in inflation-adjusted dollars, the Big Dummy is 16 years old).

View from the rear of a black Raleigh ALL STEEL 3-speed with its front wheel lashed into the sling of a Big Dummy, both parked in front of the gas station.

Side view of the black Raleigh ALL STEEL 3-speed with its rear wheel lashed into the rear sling of the Big Dummy.

Close up of the wheel in the sling, showing how it is strapped into place. The built-in sling straps fasten through the spokes to hold the wheel tight, and a pair of red extensions straps (one extending the other) hold the bottom of the wheel tight to the inside of the sling, and a single red extension strap around the snap deck holds the front, top of the wheel tight to the snap deck. A crumpled blue Ikea bag between wheel axle and sling provides padding and protection.

#photography #cars #carspotting

A photo at a car meet, as cars are rolling in. A black Nissan 370z followed by an also black FR-S turning in. And there's a white GTR sitting right beside the 370z. Two, three people are crowding around the cars. The photo gives off a greenish tint, which makes it look like it's from the Tokyo Drift movie or an old Need for Speed game.

I was walking for over an hour on rural roads of asphalt before I saw the first car. And now I wonder: where are all these homegrown economy experts, always ready to criticize any investment in public transport, for "nobody will use it". Well, I have a whole *grid* of roads that clearly aren't used by anybody.

A rear view of a bright yellow Nissan 370z sitting beside lines of black cars at a car meet. Shot on a grainy day right after a sizzle of rain, the sun shines on the paint just right.

The same car but on the 1/4 view of the font wheel. The wheel is shinny and the droplets still visible from the rain.

The Carney government's suspension of the EV mandate has nothing to do with “pragmatism” or “moderation” as I heard an interviewee say on the CBC this morning.
It's about the Ontario car industry realizing they don't make EVs or even Hybrids that can compete with Korea, Japan, or Europe (let alone China).
People want them. BC is at 20% new (the mandated level), Quebec is at 30%. Those are the #2 and #3 most populous provinces in Canada btw.
It's politics, and... specifically with Carney, cowardice, nothing else. BC’s Energy Minister Adrian Dix called it out
“I want to say this: Their target for this year, we achieved four years ago,” Dix said of the existing federal electric vehicle mandates. “The issue here in Canada -- and I think the federal government needs to engage in this a little bit -- is first and foremost with Ontario.”

Car-free Paris expansion won voter approval in a recent referendum, with 66% supporting the conversion of 500 additional streets.

"Oh, cars are cheap. Just take fuel prices, fuel consumption… and if it comes too high, you can always divide by 5 people in a car! What, car purchase and maintenance?! But everyone needs to have a car!"
"Oh, #AI is cheap. A single query uses so little water and energy. What, training?! But everyone needs to train LLMs!"
