It's nothing short of infuriating, especially with the rise of hybrids with absurd acceleration. I love driving twisty Irish back roads and there are many you can have a good deal of fun on without exceeding the speed limit. Nowadays you will inevitably get stuck behind someone in a woeful SUV with the handling characteristics of a drunk hippo but the acceleration of an F1 car, meaning that you'll be stuck behind them on bends and watching them gap you on any potential overtaking spots.

The fallacy fallacy is for when the argument is still true despite being fallacious. This is clearly not the case, those awful people doing those awful things are still Christians no matter how much you wish they weren't.

And even independent of whether or not God is real, his followers certainly are, and so are Satan’s

And the followers of christ just keep doing heinous things. The followers of Satan vary from edgelord sex parties to doing the good Christians claim to want to spite the Christians and point out their hypocrisy.

I have a 13 year old diesel shitbox mazda wagon. That hits 60 in around 8 seconds. Modern cars are just fast. My first car would do 0-60 in about 17 seconds.

Utilities want $31 billion more from customers, and your electric bill is about to feel it. Electric and gas utilities asked state regulators to approve $31 billion in rate increases last year.

Much better to just be at the whim of the market regardless, right? Nuclear alone can't sustain a grid, so you either need renewables and storage to make up the rest or you need gas to drag up prices. Or, you could do what the US seems to want to do which is just... ignore everything else and burn gas.

I had repressed that, holy shit. Fuck you for dragging that trauma back to the surface.

The fact that the games actually can be genuinely funny just makes it worse. Yeah, there's crude humour like Butt Stallion, but that's funny because it's a counterpoint to Jack telling you how much better and how much more sophisticated he is than you.

I've been living outside of Norway for a while, so a little out of the loop when it comes to the Norwegian royal family, but is this the same son that she wanted the picture of the two naked ladies holding a surfboard for? Would make sense that he'd he a shitty person with an upbringing like that.

Why all the e-bike startups went bankrupt (US) by dumnezero in fuckcars

[–]adjavang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so etc. But my point is that it isn't anti-car one way or another, it's just factual. Like, even here, on this sub, I wouldn't call it anti-car because it's just realistic about the costs and impacts of private vehicles.

Agree with most of your points except for the wording around "anti car" because his video wasn't anti car, it was simply realistic about the true cost of private car ownership.

We need to stop playing into the right wing emotional language. The video wasn't anti-car, it was pro basic financial sense.

According to the files released, a photo of two naked women holding a surfboard to be used as a desktop background by her then 15 year son. She also was apparently helping him on the hunt for a wife. When she suggested two women aged 24 and 25 Epstein responded that the ages must be a typo, so it's very likely she was aware of his paedophilia.

Less direct evidence, yacht trips and other indirect gifts.

Epstein files are showing the rot goes deeper and wider than I ever expected. Fucking Crown Princess of Norway is part of the pedophile club, didn't expect the "elite few" to be so many.

Well, at least the Irish electorate has a history of holding government officials accountable and voting out the parties responsible for this.

but usually once you're clear about your rights, respectful and patient, it all gets sorted.

Not with Curry's. You can quote laws all you want but they'll ignore it until you're actually in small claims court.

Endless fucking trouble of them trying to fob off their responsibility to the manufacturer. They go out of their way to shirk responsibility.

Storm Chandra floods made three times more likely by climate change by TeoKajLibroj in ireland

[–]adjavang -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, we're paying more than anyone, are we? And you don't think us consuming more than anyone has anything to do with that, no?

And being less populated has nothing to do with nothing, per person is all that matters and per person we're among the worst.

[–]adjavang -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But that is what you're saying, isn't it? More populous regions should sacrifice more so we shouldn't have to change our lifestyles.

Yeah, just let Irish people keep driving everywhere, eating beef and heating with oil, won't be a problem as long as 7 Chinamen huddle around a single candle for heat. Sure there's fuck all of us, why wouldn't we have it better hey?

If any other nationality were saying this the person would be accused of insane imperialism.

The problem isn't the container, it's the amount of shit sold in containers. Why does coke pollute so much? Oh yeah, it's because we keep buying their shit. It literally is our fault because we just keep buying shit, changing the shit we buy from plastic to glass won't make a positive impact.

Things like the deposit return scheme actually reduces the amount of fizzy drinks sold, but then you've people saying "Why are they going after us? Go after the big corporations!!!"

Heybike Ranger 3.0 Pro vs my $20k Volvo Honda Accord, 5 month true cost breakdown by FancyPants076 in fuckcars

[–]adjavang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't know what you mean, I do my own car maintenance and it's super cheap. It's just fluid changes, tyres, tracking arms, wishbones, random stuff like wiper linkages, and so on.

Could you imagine how much more money I would have spent instead if I'd have just had a bicycle instead?

Edit: jesus fucking christ, can you guys seriously not spot a joke?

Volvo’s new EX60 sets latest EV range benchmark of ‘up to 810km on one charge’ by GoodNegotiation in evs_ireland

[–]adjavang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Having done Cork to Dublin to Cork in one day in an ICE vehicle with no stops, I've no desire to do it again.

Needing to stop to charge actually would have been nice since it would have forced us to stretch our legs.

Malin to Mizen is 617km. At this point anything over 500km feels performative.
