  • Like how using the word "literally" somehow became not literal.

    I want the destroy those people. Literally.

  • Haven't tried summit. Thunder is pretty close to a clone of what I was using on reddit before the api fiasco they had and I bailed. Relay for reddit.

  • what the US is doing to Cuba right now is one of the most barbaric crimes in its history.

    Jump

  • The sanctions really should have ended when Castro died at the latest, but I still won't call Cuba a socialist country. It's a communist one. It's under a high amount of control. You'll get thrown in prison for criticism, internet access is limited, and not everyone is on an equal footing there. Communist or not, the sanctions are still completely bullshit.

  • I've been using "Thunder" and so far it's done a pretty wonderful job of things. Very easy to view and scroll on a phone. A lot of options you can set and customize.

  • I gotta argue against the games costing more compared to cola. A new Nintendo game in 1988 was $40 to $50. At that time hamburger was 99 cents, a value meal from a fast food place was $4, a house was $80,000, a new car was $10k to $18k, and you were pretty much a Middle class family if you made $45k\year. Some original NES games even hit $60 a piece.

    So videogames are one of the few things that haven't kept with inflation. In no small part due to more people purchasing games and less physical overhead, but that doesn't take away from my stance. 40 years later and a game price has gone up by like $20.

  • In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud

    Jump

  • Yeah. I was left pissed and felt ripped off. High seas from that point on.

  • If you ditched your car, could you afford to leave the suburbs for a great urban neighborhood?

    Jump

  • You missed my point. It's trying to state you can offset the higher cost of living in one of those areas because your saving $1000 a month by not owning a car. That $1000 a month figure is bullshit. So is the cost difference between living in a walkable city vs outside of one only being $1000 in many places. Like a small home in the walkable area of Kansas City is around $400,000, while a similar home 10 miles away is $200,000. That's a lot more than a grand a month difference if you're getting a mortgage. Like twice as much.

  • Or worse. I think it was the original Ninja Turtles movie that I had owned on DVD and the quality of it kind of sucked. Years later I got it on blu ray and I swear they just ripped one of the DVD copies to make the blu ray disc.

  • It mattered more back in the analog days, I think. Now that it's all digital, and going through dac's, its all just about being good enough for 1's and 0's to get through. "Noise" doesn't exist for digital audio. It either works, or it doesn't.

  • If you ditched your car, could you afford to leave the suburbs for a great urban neighborhood?

    Jump

  • The post is also about cars costing you a thousand dollars a month that you could be saving. That number is just silly. You can have a car for significantly less.

    Also, you're talking like you can just eliminate all of the small towns and housings and redo them to group them up. Any small places like that would still need to own vehicles in order to leave those small towns when needed. Not owning a vehicle is only a possibility in larger cities. Especially if you have to work outside of your town.

  • The post is claiming you can afford such a neighborhood by saving $1,000 a month by not owning a car.

  • It's in missouri on Facebook marketplace. Just do a search there for a 2006 Prius with like 84,000 miles on it and it will pop up. It's red.

  • What I dislike about the fuckcars instance. Ignorant people who just think people only live in big cities with public transport and that all of their families and friends and relatives they want to see are all there a mere bus ride or train trip away. Just ignorant to 90% of the land people live on. Most of the country requires a vehicle.

  • Lol. Not even remotely close for a Gen 2 Prius. I dunno where you live, but you'd be insane to pay $15k for one of those. There's a nice one for sale with under 100k miles on it right now for $5,000 that's about 20 minutes away from my house right now. That one happens to be a good deal, but at the same time, it's been up for sale for a few weeks now.

    Special note: avoid buying a 2010-2014 Prius. Especially an 11 or 12. Head gasket seal issues. If recognized early when they start to leak it's not a big problem if you know how or are willing to learn to replace yourself. Full day job if you're not used to doing that sort of thing. Expensive job if you have to pay someone else to do it. If the problem is ignored you'll end up needing an engine and likely a catalytic converter.

    It's pretty easy to find a 2015 under 150k miles for under $10k.

  • Share of newly registered cars that are fully electric

    Jump

  • In 1900 there were more electric vehicles in the US than gas vehicles.

    Big oil won out back then, and again when it eliminated trolleys around the 1930's, and it's keeping its grip even now.

    US options under $35,000 pretty much suck in the US for EVs. They aren't all that great under $50k.

    I wouldn't have bought one yet regardless. They're only just now putting batteries into production that I believe will last 20 years without needing replaced. I'm keeping my old hybrid until those batteries ramp up in production and make it to the US if they ever become affordable here.

  • Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to market plant-based products in UK

  • I feel like this is one of those rulings that will bite dairy companies in the ass by forcing oatly to get cheeky and clever with advertising and make it more popular than ever.
