It is much better to view cars as a yearly cost, or a per mile cost. Most people don't pay $40k up front, instead they pay $4k to $10k per year for a new car.

For what a single car costs in taxes, insurance, fuel, and maintenance for a year your could get 5 used bicycles and a nice cargo bike trailer off amazon.

Are you seriously comparing a $5k car to a brand new, high quality cargo bicycle? The equivalent cargo bike to a $5k car is below $500 and kids bicycles are below $100. Edit: As for why I calculated like that? It is quite normal for a car t

So let us assume 2 adults and 3 kids. $5k for a _very nice_ cargo bike capable of transporting 1-2 kids too young to cycle on their own. $4k for _nice_ bikes for each adult. ($2k x 2) $3k for _good_ bikes for each kid as they grow out of th

I can't even piece together how this could be true. A family probably only needs one cargo bike. An brand new _expensive_ cargo bike costs around the same as the yearly cost of a car. If you think your car costs less, calculate your TC

Most cargo bikes cost quite a bit less than a car though.

Owning a car gives you a lot of freedom and flexibility but you either live in a place that requires a car every day, or one where you need it less. If your neighborhood is well planned, with good access to public transportation, groceries,

I think it is software, or at least it can be fixed in software. Which is what makes it so frustrating. My workaround is to configure the whole thing as a joystick then use JoyToKey to convert it back to keyboard inputs. No stuck keys.

After my G13 started acting up I got myself a Razer Tartarus V2 and honestly I'm disappointed to the point I feel like I need to warn people. If you buy Razer, make sure you can return it if you're disappointed. First the Tartarus

I hope the plan is to read the configured date format on the system like most software out there? This really shouldn't need to be manually configured.

This is just conspiracy stuff. 'We are Sthlm' was not judged newsworthy until the Cologne stuff. Now every potential groping at every festival is newsworthy, to the point where it's getting ridiculous. And are you telling me

Germany is free to spend their own money how they see fit. For example, by sending money to Romania via the EU budget. Perhaps Germany should instead focus on the pensioners in their country who have worked hard for 45 years and now live on

Statistics can never simply be read from a police database or similar. It takes serious work by good researchers to compile the data and interpret it. This is also why you can't compare many crime statistics between countries, rape bei

Daily Mail isn't news, it's poorly researched clickbait. Rape is horrible and I'm certain immigrants also rape, just as the natives do. But let's not kid ourselves, at least in my home country Sweden the number of sexual

I have relatives living in the USA and the news they see from Sweden seems to make them think Sweden is descending into chaos. Their imagination had run quite wild.
