Public bathrooms are actually one of the few things that US cities are undeniably better at than European cities. You almost always have to pay in Europe and even paid ones can be hard to come by.

Yes but their job is literally to manipulate you into buying a car then and there. They play all sorts of dirty tricks to get there.

Nobody is arguing against car usage in the country side. People are arguing against car dependency in cities and suburbs.

+1 in my experience most people that criticize scrum simply have a bad experience with a half baked implementation of scrum. If it's implemented well it's fantastic. You get to focus on the important stuff during the sprint. Issue

Have you ever used said MacBook intensively with OSX? I guarantee you the difference in trackpad performance will be mind boggling and frustrating. Literally the only thing keeping me away from using Linux.

In terms of dollar value, not in terms of volume. Still very impressive though for such a small country.

Roads are absolutely not financed by gasoline taxes. They are massively subsidized by the federal government. Watch some videos about Strong Towns to learn about the problems that is causing in regions that are not experiencing constant gro

Sure a 15 minute city means there will be some areas you won't be able to drive to anymore. So what? You'd be able to walk to them in <15 min. Nobody is going to stop people from driving out of town to go camping.

Not everyone has to live within 15 min of their job, just most people or at least significantly more people than now. There will always be exceptions. The exception proves the rule as they say.

You'll find plenty of people cycling in Dedemsvaart itself though. Nobody is claiming cars don't have their place. It just shouldn't be the default mode - or even worse, the only viable option - for every single trip.

Cycling is ubiquitous in the Netherlands though. Even in small towns. The only place where it's not convenient is if you're living out in the fields in say Flevoland.

Well it seems you're criticizing Americans' rosy view of Dutch public infrastructure without realizing how absurd the US is in terms of infrastructure. I challenge you to visit the US and not use a car at all. In many cities you w

Not exactly the same but pocketbase is pretty neat. It's like firebase/supabase but then using SQLite. You can try it out here: https://pockethost.io/

For many people the main concern is not money, but maintaining visa status.

Yup, part of it is definitely that millennials have had it bashed in to them that it's super easy to get pregnant so never have sex without precautions and only stay thinking about having kids when you're "ready". Many m

Yes and we need to end the weapons race of ever increasing car sizes. It makes accidents much more deadly, uses much more energy to move people and takes up unnecessarily large amounts of space in our cities.

If there's that much traffic, a four way stop will be even worse than a roundabout. You'll need a turbo roundabout, traffic lights or grade separated intersections in that case. Four way stops are one of the dumbest inventions of

I had to scroll way to far to find this comment. We need to drastically reduce the number of parking lots and revert the car dependency built into our cities.

Probably because you still need battery power for the non freeway portion of the trip.

Yes, land lords are quite literally rent-seeking. They don't provide any value to society and just leech off of people who are poorer than themselves. All rental housing property should be owned by non-profit organizations.

Both are definitely a factor, but don't forget that a lot of the irritate driving behavior is because in America people are forced to drive. Even if they don't want to or really shouldn't be driving, they still have to drive

Watch some videos from this channel and you'll be able to see how the US definitely does not do enough in terms of creating safe road infrastructure for all: https://youtu.be/ORzNZUeUHAM https://youtu.be&#x2

I would like to see a proper language with built in support for Unix Shell commands. Similar to bash or perl with a use Shell import, but without the limitations of bash or the craziness of perl. I really like the idea of zx, but still does
