They also blew millions for a Super Bowl ad last year where, I poo poo you not: it was all about people's heads exploding at the realization they could buy stuff online and have it delivered to them. As if it were some sort of novel concept. You know, a decade after amazon.com

Subjunctive posted:Backup cameras will be mandatory in the US for all new cars sold as of 2018. Can't we just do the same with all of the mirrors on a car in a few years? Replace side mirrors with cameras that have better FOV and don't stick out.

La Brea Carpet posted:People need to stop huffing Uber fumes and invest in upgrading our existing public transport options, but lol socialism. Uber, lyft, etc will always be a cheap ride home from the bars or airport for the vast majority of users. The investment is huge because the reason why mass transit kinda sucks these days is people live in low density areas far from the city core, but businesses aren't there as much these days anyway. BarbarianElephant posted:The worst thing about public transport is not the smelly homeless people but the snail-like speed. Millionaires will happily sit next to smelly homeless people on the New York subway because it's usually the fastest way from A to B. But buses will never match this speed - because of their large size and constant stopping, they get stuck in traffic worse even than private cars. Not all buses are like that. There are 'flyer' buses around here that literally only go to one bus stop in a suburb and then go straight to the highway downtown where there will be about half a dozen stops. pr0zac posted:Climate change is increasing snow fall in many areas. When it kills the Atlantic coast current Europe is going to look like Canada during the winter. Yes. Lakes stay warmer later in the year and thus have a lot more moisture able to be swept up in cold fronts to be deposited downwind as snow. Once lake freezes, it cuts down on that snowfall significantly.

It seems clear to me that the response to her statement on the Transgender survey question was due to a preconceived notion of the person making the comment. And, if not, the person who complained is really insecure.

Friend of mine is completely aware that he can get a decent Chevy electric car NOW instead of waiting however many years for the Model 3 to get mass produced, but won't because the Chevy car uses front wheel drive.

Cicero posted:In the optimal case yes, I think in the average case it's kind of debatable just because when you buy in bulk you tend to waste more food as it goes bad. I feel like we threw out a lot more produce when we shopped at Costco a lot because plans end up not matching reality. I only like buying poo poo that has a long shelf life in bulk. Canned foods, frozen foods. My wife is fuckin' terrible with the food waste. In her defense, sometimes we're just too busy to really prepare a good meal. But, you know, realize that in advance and just get a bunch of poo poo to make easy meals with. We're always throwing out leftovers and sauces that have been in the fridge for too long. It's annoying.

Cheesus posted:By "too long", you mean "two days", right? Leftovers for a week or more. When I say sauce I mean bottles like salad dressing, barbecue sauce, etc that have been opened for a long time and are currently about six months or more past the date printed on the bottle. hobbesmaster posted:Many have gyms or if you're in a large city you work in a large building that has a gym attached... its another issue. lol no what are you talking about

McDonalds and Applebee's touchscreens are always crusty/greasy so I don't know why anyone uses them if they haven't brought a pack of disinfectant wipes with them.

Here's hoping right to repair movement gains traction and has a positive impact about how cars are designed so that basic maintenance is easier.

Knobs and buttons are better anyway because they are more tactile than touchpads could ever be, plus you hardly ever have to look at the switch/button to know which one you're pressing. You can tell by feel and general location.

Electric ranges/stoves and heating aren't a viable option for me because of the age of my house and quality of power coming to it.

A lot of downtown office space has been converted, or is trying to be converted into, housing here. However, it still is not cheap.

A lot of the misunderstanding here is that people just think there's an inner city (and some think this is literally just downtown), and it just ends out of nowhere and BAM you have sprawl in the middle of nowhere. No, there are such things as inner-ring suburbs. They at first got the best of white flight, and now are suffering the ill-effects of it: they have relatively lower occupancy rates than they did 30 years ago. The homes there are sometimes inconceivably apartment-sized. On larger lots, for sure, but not to the scale of suburbs that grew out in the 70's and beyond. That inner-ring could very well be in a grid pattern, but at the very least not spread out enough that makes things like mass transit nonviable.
