Let's worry about the inefficiency of SUVs and pickup trucks for transporting one person to work. Compared to that solar panels are a drop in the bucket.

But sliced bread has become something else that doesn't exist with loaves. You can't buy an unsliced loaf of ultra-processed white bread.

2FA is entirely offline. So it's not really the same service and there's nothing to breach.

Don't buy a Windows key. If Windows was installed initially it should remember your hardware and activate. If it doesn't, there's numerous ways to pirate Windows.

delirious_owl is being pretty inflammatory but they make a good point.

All too often a supposed "bike lane" is just built to a worse standard than parallel car lanes. It will have a worse road surface, sharp bends, confusing and long routing, less priority at intersections and traffic lights. Car lanes are the default and bike lanes are squeezed in as an afterthought.

This needs to change, bike lanes should be built to the same or higher standard as roads(although typically bike lanes can be much narrower). Multi lane bike motorways need to be buldozed through neighborhoods. An easy way to do this is just take part or all of an existing road and make it bike only.

I can speak as someone who thought they couldn't do parties. Parties are incredibly intense, and can be the best or worst experience of your life depending on the smallest details. Eventually you will learn how to party best for you, what substances to take, what to wear, where to stand and what to do, which parties are just not going to work for you. Keep trying new things, but also if you're not feeling it, take some time out or just leave.

I think the older you get, the more you realize that everyone has imposter syndrome and anxiety all the time, but you just have to fake it until you make it. If you pretend everything is fine, it usually turns out fine.

The vast majority of Australians live in a densely populated strip on the east coast. It should have high speed rail from Melbourne to Brisbane decades ago.

Traditional Australian utes were just passenger cars with the back chopped off. So they had the same footprint as passenger cars with the same safe front style and efficient practical design. Then the American pickup trucks arrived, stole the term "ute", and now proper utes are extremely rare.

The implication that before modern religions there were no preachers or prophets has got to be wrong. People making up nonsense and other people believing it is as old as people.

Unlike Google Maps, OSM is just as useful if you don't drive. I love it for walking and cycling, it's got all the little paths, categorized correctly.

What are you talking about? If we limit this discussion to somewhat democracies, the government is a net benefit. Without it there would be anarchy.
