  • It mentions public transit options too. Hopefully that'll include trams and/or metro services for very long distance connections.

  • Really‽ That sounds bannanas!

  • UN chemical expert: 'There's pressure on EU from US to weaken regulatory controls'

    Jump

  • I moved from the US to the EU for many reasons. One of them is that the EU actually put rules in place to protect people here. Food, cars, products, health care, medicine... The list goes on.

    My family is healthier, happier, and safer due to EU regulations. I'll keep filling out paperwork and dealing with premium costs because our lives and health are worth it.

  • It's Stalinist to want walkable cities with fewer cars, apparently 🤦

    Jump

  • Yeah, though I'm also in Berlin so many were fully or partially rebuilt after the various wars. They're old and new now. Still gorgeous. I love me a tall stone building!

    Jump

  • Jokes on you: the city I moved away from in the US added a parking garage to the historic register. If you weren't so focused on waiting in a line of cars for the drive thru, you could be enjoying 10 stories of historically crumbling concrete!

    On my errands I was subjected to walking past atone churches from the pre 1800's, going through a park, and going through a market hall from 1900. It was horrible. I didn't even get to wait at any traffic lights for a Micro Vacation during my travels. Sad. Just sad.

  • You also left out finding parking and then walking through spectacularly scenic parking lots to and from each destination's front door. With bigger malls/box stores you'd walk further than I did going around the block just having to cross the parking lot.

  • I won't lie, you had me at the first half.

    Jump

  • Yesterday I headed out from the apartment for errands. I walked a total of about 8 blocks. I completed:

    • A haircut
    • Shopping for some house items
    • Post office for mailing a letter and stamps
    • Stopped to listen to some live music in a market hall
    • Talked with a local community group about tech stuff
    • Visited a library
    • Hit up the bank ATM
    • Snagged a couple bags of groceries

    Total time: about 115 minutes

    I LOVE living in a walkable neighborhood. Fuck car-only life. If you want it, fine, but don't demand that we all live in your apocalyptic transportation hellscape.

    Should I be trying to leave the USA before it's too late?

    Jump

  • Look up the German ChanceKarte. It's a job seeker visa with a preference for STEM fields. You'd get a year to look for work while living in Germany.

  • When outside looks like this, how can you build a community?

    Jump

  • My old US city has at least a couple of roads like that. No mountain for something to ponder while you wait at a stroad intersection, though. Just more asphalt, terrible sidewalks and parking lots all around for miles.

  • Cycling without a helmet and high-visibility jacket may be made criminal offences in Ireland

    Jump

  • Tourists avoid the US

    Jump

  • We definitely noticed the cheap tickets right now. We're working on flying more of our kids out of the US to Europe to emigrate permanently as they finish school. It's a great time to fly out.

    To Their Shock, Cubans in Florida Are Being Deported in Record Numbers

    Jump

  • Hey look at that: about 70% of the Cuban voters in Florida votes for this. They thought they'd be made rich and the xenophobic racists they empowered would only be xenophobic racists to other people.

    The Leopards feast well again. More Tums on the menu.

    The high cost of child care is making mothers rethink having kids

    Jump

  • So, when the rich discovered that they could force us to have 80 hour work weeks because both adults in the home could work, prices suddenly climbed. Then, it turns out we used to rely on one of the adults in the home doing unpaid work (cooking, cleaning, shopping, house maintenance, and notably raising the children).

    Recognizing that women should be treated as humans is mandatory. They should be able to be single or be the breadwinner while their spouse stays home.

    Turning around and mandating that a family requires 80 hours per week of work to survive at the expense of everything else that made life worth living is crushing our ability to be humans with families.

    Of course, the looming population bust due to overworking everyone is making governments and the rich fearful of their safety and continued personal enrichment, but it would require taxing the rich and making governments work for us to solve the problem so it's likely just going to be a huge mess with untold suffering instead of a graceful shift to a humanistic world with healthy lives.

  • Trump tells Norway's PM he has no obligation to 'think purely of peace' after Nobel snub

  • Suggestions for Linux PDF Editor and E-sign

    Jump

  • I don't know every detail of your use cases, but my offline go to is xournal++ (xournalpp).

    I use it for many of those actions. We moved to Germany and having a GUI pdf editor for signing, highlighting, redacting, pulling pages, etc has been invaluable.

    My wife also uses it for her class lectures. She does math, so she uses a tablet to write on her slides (pdfs) live in class to talk through the material. Then, she saves the lecture PDF to give to students with the notes.

  • Those look very nice. Likely quite expensive, but nice.

  • Rep. Don Bacon says House could impeach Trump if U.S. invades Greenland

    Jump

  • Rep. Don Bacon is a wanker. Shit or get off the pot. This wannabe dictator is threatening to shut down elections and post soldiers to US cities that aren't actually in need of it. Do your job and stop flapping your mouth, wanker.
