  • What’s so special about 0 - 100? 40° of civilized units sucks, but is still perfectly survivable and is becoming more and more common in some parts of the world. That’s 104° of fucked up units.

    Negatives up to -30° are also common around the world and I frequently went out in shorts and t-shirt in -10° for a short time to grab mail or take out trash.

    The only sort of reasonable justification for F units I’ve ever heard was that there’s less of a change between whole degrees, but decimals are not exactly hard to figure out imnho.










  • I agree, but some cities are just not compatible with public transport. Busses in LA fit 2 bicycles. How do you cover the final mile (which could be as far as 2.5 miles) in a city with mostly single family homes and lots of hills?

    Impossible to compare Seoul to LA imho. Population density has its benefits like amazingly fast (fiber) internet connection, but accessibility of public transport isn’t one of them.


  • Either you have a really bizarre definition of relaxation or you’ve never taken public transport in a busy city during peak hours.

    Even in Los Angeles, where public transport is barely used, everything is packed at peak times. And that’s a place where people regularly take showers. I dare you to enjoy the relaxing experience of a bus at peak times in August in a third world country like Russia.





  • On one hand I hate that legit users are punished for the actions of few cunts selling massive plex libraries and using Hetzner because of cheap storage and unlimited transfer, but I sort of understand that plex doesn’t want to be associated with piracy (lol).

    On the other, fuck Plex. Seems trivial to detect these massive libraries with hundreds of “friends” and just shut those down. Seems insane to block a whole fucking provider over this. I’ve been a paid subscriber since day one and then bought a lifetime pass, but this dumb move is making me consider other products.

    But on third hand, I don’t really care because I use tailscale so I almost never use the plex’s proxy anyway.
