The pandemic opened the eyes of many to the benefits of running or cycling to work – or “active commutes” – and some have kept up the habit.

No longer content with long drives or boring train rides, commuters have been seeking ways to make their journeys more productive and enjoyable.

Support the artists ? Buying from Apple (or Amazon etc) sees you supporting Apple, supporting the publisher, the RIAA. The Artist is at the end of a long chain of grifters and middle men taking their pound of flesh.. I'd love to support the artists, if I could donate directly to them. The ones who aren't, like Taylor Swift don't need more supoort.

I don't log in to YT to watch any videos, I alao use Newpipe and Stube sans account. Grouping them in Tabs to get to is great for me.

Ban cars to me is shorthand for ban private cars, has nothing to do with EMS, or even public owned shared cars for that occasional time a car might necessary.

An 80% reduction in cars should be easy. 90% reduction with a few tweeks i'd think.

I am 58, I have a vague memory of being lied too about Father Christmas , being told thays not true even though I was assured he was originally and then thinking the same thing about god (catholic family) but figured out for myself that it was bullshit. Doesnt take much ciritcal thinking, even as a kid to realise that.

I had to LARP for a bit but stopped the nonsense of church etc when I was allowed too as a young teen. Reading more widely after that you get to see some of the utter horrors caused by religion and release how toxic they are.

An example, lived in Cambodia many many years ago and a bunch of evangelicals wouldn't let locals use a water well until they "converted". A constant reminder of the toxic nature of religion.

Right, it's not like there aren't billions and billions of religious nutters out there. I mean I don't see aethiests killing people for believing in a fairy god monster and yet if you said you're an atheist in Saudia Araiba etc you'd be killed. The fuck sort of tolerating intolerace is that?

Aethiets are pushing up not down, mocking people for believing in fairy tales seems a very sensible reaction ? especially when they inevitably double down on their nonsense.

Nice to see some sensible policy for a change. Alas they have no hope of getting in :(

Just as a addendum to this, there's a book "What Lies Beneath" What lies Beneath with a super interesting foreword by Hans Joachim Schellnhuber about the very real dangers of relying on statistical models and doing nothing.

You don't have to read the entire book but I'd encourage everyone interested to read the foreword.

I find Edges grouped tabs well implemented, not sure why Firefox doesnt move this way natively?

As to 14 tabs, I'd have 50 or more

Pretty much this but another point of difference with say the US is that (Utes) (trucks) in Australia would be classified as "cars" and not commercial vehicles. Which is why you can see so many giant fuck off trucks in the US, they're not part of the legislation ... loopholes. Currently they want Government to have the same loophole as the US, so Toyota -> Hilux Ford -> Ranger etc can keep bringing in their big sellers with no penalty,

As an Austrian I can only agree,
