Look at those little murder mitts

Just another reminder that EVs don’t magically make cars green or safer. You still have the ashphault, the tire pollution, brake dust, end of life recycling, stormwater runoff, noise pollution, roadkill, wasteful car centric planning, and dangers to pedestrians.

Cries in North American, where suburban streets are wider than freeway lanes

North America has a density problem ever since they bulldozed downtowns to build surface level parking. We need to increase the density in those areas to support transit. For the most part that housing doesn’t exist, and what does is often considered luxury and is in high demand because even north americans like transit oriented developments.

Someone has to increase the density around major transit corridors and the private sector has proved they only care about developing luxury condos in those areas. A government run and funded affordable housing initiative could help people who need access to transit the most move into transit oriented neighborhoods.

Its so hard hearing the term “car dependancy” come out from the netherlands while I’m stuck in North America. Theres definitely room for improvement still in the netherlands but at least the bones of the city are still intact. Its arguable harder to fix most of north america in its current state than starting fresh would have been.

IMO the money would be better spent to subsidize electrified trasnit. In north america that money could also be used to support dense housing projects along that transit corridor, providing more ridership for the new transit and tackling the housing crisis. This is a better solution because electrified transit is even more energy and resource efficient than private electric vehicles and the transit is more accessible to everyone than private electric vehicles are

Its green and eco-friendly so i can waste as much of that extra energy as i want seems to be the attitude people have. We’ve made emissions be the spotlight of our energy crisis when the total amount of energy we use is still important, potentially even more important than just reducing emissions alone.

This could be offset by tax rebates for the EV, or by taxing gasoline and diesel so much that you break even or still come out on top even with the weight tax.

I’m not 100% sure but the fish kinda looks like a lingcod, also known as a burbot.

I also wonder how much farther their war efforts would have gone had they not wasted time, men, and resources on ineffective warfare like that massive train driven cannon. Its a lot of effort and resources to set up double track rails just to miss most of your shots.

But self driving cars will fix that

Its probably not a front, many business owners just don’t realize the value of pedestrian traffic. They assume if their customers can’t park their cadilac escalade steps from the front door they won’t get any business at all.

Girls had to evolve to get taller because trucks kept running them over

Also a good time to remind people that the conservatives want to defund the CBC.

All the proof you need that you can be a car guy and still accept that car dependancy is awful.

Even Clarkson would occasionally show up to work on a bicycle. It really is as simple as build the lanes and people will use them, regardless of status and opinions. If cycling is faster, easier, safer or more enjoyable, people will do it.

He denied any association with project 2025 despite many members of his administration writing it. He also said ukraine started their war. He also says canada doing anything except becoming the 51st state is escalating the economic warfare canada started. He calls the trade deal he signed with Canada a terrible deal and asks who the hell signed it. He knows the internet has rotted our memories and attention spans and hes trying to rewrite history to his favour with that knowledge. The scary part is, it’s working.

I wonder if the survey asks people multiple times throughout multiple days. Like you ask me in the morning of a hangover I’m definitely down a few rungs compared to the night before. It would be best to know where the average rung you’re on is.

I lived rurally for 15 years and we composted everything from food waste to yard trimmings in our yard. Does you area do organics collections? My area also has a municipal compost and they pick up organics every week along the garbage schedule.

Why aren’t you keeping you organic wastes on the property to make nutrituous compost?
