- Comment on Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple 1 week ago:
uuuh in winter we have things like cloths, even warmed gloves and boots when really cold ? Go in Montreal to figure it out, some are biking there even in winter.
I am pulling stats out of my close area, national stats are : For distances of less than 5 kilometers, cars still account for 60% of commutes. Less than 5 km can you imagine ?
Just put your ass on a bike instead of your fingers, and just try to do things

Yes it is.
Because it is handcraft compared to car industry (85 millions/year), and not subsidized at all.
Now how much costs a car ? Not only the price, but globally, if you include health impact, infrastructure needs.

I don’t think it is laughable.
A new cargo is 5000€ and you can find used or discounted ones for less than 3000€.
A used car will cost far more in repairs, insurance and gas, my 2010 car is valued around 3000€ and it costs us around 1000-1500€/year.
I don’t think bikes can replace cars for everyone, but many people could use a bike instead or their car 95% of the time, when we see that so much people use a car for less than 5 km.
Only concern is safety to use a bike in the middle of fast cars, but a proper infrastructure (separated bike lanes) solves it for a fraction of the cost of roads and parking places.

GET A PAN, the only proper way to reheat a pizza. Crusty crust crusts.
You can even put the pan on your iron if you don’t have a stove.
- Comment on Uber’s algorithmic pricing leaves drivers and passengers worse off 2 months ago:
It’s not enshitification as it was shit since the beginning : how this company was allowed to bypass workers protection laws (working time, minimum wage…), to burn investor’s money with no limit and no real business plan (12 years burning cash without revenue) ?
Yeah people enjoyed their cheap ride, but now the cost is high.
- Comment on Geologists doubt Earth has the amount of copper needed to develop the entire world 3 months ago:
Copper pots and door handles are very smart products as copper has killing bacterias properties, it is self cleaning, in some way.

Yes. And that’s why we have anti-car fences in every public events, even the smallest.
