Should we make a club?

Well, no one is saying cars are worse for all purposes. If you want to take your family and dogs to a cabin in the mountains while also shopping for food along the way, it is probably going to be your best bet. Still, that is not what is pictured in the post. These are commuters that are probably moving from work to home (or vice versa), where cars really are the worst of most options. If the bus takes longer, it is probably an issue of allocation of funds for a shorter route and exclusive lanes for it.

Sure! Both speed and distance matters a lot for throughput. The advantage of pedestrian traffic is that designing for it reduces the distance people have to travel and that it combines very well in conjunction with public transport, unlike cars. Also, the speed of mixed traffic is inverse correlated to the number of vehicles, hence is a special case in this regard where throughput may decrease as the volume per lane increases. The overall point however is that a single train can substitute a staggering amount of private vehicles (and who doesn’t love leaning back, listening to music and reading the news while commuting?).

Just going to leave this one here:

The question was specific with regards to a “private city”, thus you can infer from context that the totality of “total” is limited to cities. This is also the reason I abstracted and specified it to mean population centres, because bringing guns to festivals is just as stupid and illegal most places.

I get the urge to be pedantic, but why be so after someone else has already pointed it out and I have answered them?

Sure, not total in the sense that gun ownership is illegal, but you if you take a fucking gun to a city you will have your license revoked and probably go to prison. That is unless the gun was kept locked down, dismantled and securely separate from the ammunition in your trunk.

The point is to remove guns from people and places where they can do the most harm, like in a population centre. They have no reason to be there, and most of the world recognizes this.

Love Washington crying over the beautiful sight!

Total ban for civilians within population centres, where there is nothing to shoot save people, is totally normal everywhere except Burgerland.

That GPU is

Torrents are assumed illegal and discussion of it likewise by confused parent comment.

It is much easier for lots of western progressives (i.e. moderates if that label was used properly) to fix a naming scheme than reevaluate the exploitative structures on which their lives are baser.

I made the switch a couple of days ago. Just downloaded the forgejo binary, renamed it to gitea and dropped it in as a replacement. Now I am running forgejo successfully.

We have this many places in Europe. The police are not even allowed to wear guns in Norway (and frankly do not need them) unless there is some special intelligence or something making a reason for it. That does not absolve the need for state controlled monopoly on violence. It only means that is should be limited and wielded with the utmost care.

Oof you think the US is superior.

Same, but I am clinically tried to be lazy as well.

Ah, but that is where you’re wrong kiddo. I am mostly joking, but pure math is more beautiful than anything else. Hence math people are cooler, in my opinion which totally does not matter anyway.

OP does not know math people are cooler than engineers and physicists.

I would recommend miniflux a “minimalist and opinionated feed reader”. It is great on mobile and desktop and dead simple to set up and use.

I think the ethical part may have to do with the following from Wikipedia on commerce:

The diversity in the distribution of natural resources, differences of human needs and wants, and division of labour along with comparative advantage are the principal factors that give rise to commercial exchanges.

I do not see how the commercial part is necessary for the distribution of goods though and recognize it as the main culprit in making such a system unethical. I.e., supplying needs is good and necessary, however a commercial platform is not.

But the absence of classes and states surely is the same as the dictatorship of the proletariat /s
