Rich would happily kill hundreds( and do) That’s the difference. Poor’s have a moral sense and always advocate that killing is bad. The rich don’t. You don’t get rich without exploitation.
Not staff. They don’t make the decisions. The shareholders likely. They are the scum. The staff will get death threats lose their jobs and they wouldn’t even make the money if it was successful. Shareholders are bad for humanity
Talk for yourself. Some of us need starlink. Quality is great. Price is high but it’s space internet. Again connection is pretty fucking stable. Playing GeForce now on my TV thanks to starlink.
Hasn’t gone down since March. Went down yesterday. Worldwide outage. My previous sat system went down frequently. Like once a week. Was 30mb down at full. Usually managed 15 most days. Sundays were pretty much unusable. Other options were dal at top 15.
So starlink is a fucking god send.
I think it is exactly that. Yes trees impact but you don’t put the dish there. We had a good damn cyclone. It was fine. We were the only people in the area who had internet. The road washed out along with fibre. Can’t get a better recommendation than that.
Woke up on Monday and my Pixel 6 Pro wasnt quite fitting in the case while i was checking news while having coffee on the morning. Pushed it in and it didnt seem to fit right. Took the case off to find it had turned itself into a spicy pillow and was splitting along the side. Was 1 month inside warranty, messaged support who...
It’s very flawed. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not advocating for Google. Fuck em. But yeah considering I had OnePlus previously. It rebooted in sunlight. My pixel doesn’t.
Oh I would think so. I used to use lineage on OnePlus. I just don’t have the time to fiddle with software and with banking apps being blocked. It’s a no go
So I just bought these on steam. Really annoying I’m going to have to buy again. Are these the upgraded versions? Tomb raider anniversary legend and what not. Or are these another HD version ?
Exactly selfish. You are the reason it’s going to end. If everyone thinks like you. Guess what ? Sacrifice the biting drive ? At least pick something impressive. Sad pathetic
Fucking hate Sony. Had an Xperia and the bloatware was over the top. Main issue is Sony is priced higher than other OEM but with less specs. Just over itself. Sick of conglomerates
I use tap water but it’s from a well so It might be a bit overly mineral. I can try and deionize it.
No it’s still in the original pot I bought it Only had it about 3 months. It was through winter though
Its winter or spring now. Sits in an alcove getting direct sunlight from about 8 until 1ish. It does get quite hot but over night it drops to freezing.
Oops meant bog plants. Mine is a pitcher plant. Is that the same thing ? So I should let it dry out and then water it ? I haven’t watered it at all since I’ve had it. I just let it float on a body of water.
Unfortunately looks like neither of those. Really annoying you can’t send photos. It’s a nepenthes Diana.
It was winter and I assumed it would drop all it’s pitchers and go dormant. However its leaves are also a bit brown.
I’ve had it inside the whole time. I got it to try kill of some flies. Thought it would be a nice non toxic alternative. So I was hoping to propagate it and leave it in all the rooms to drop the fly population.
Yes that’s the very one. Didn’t know it was a hybrid,
It’s not happy. Pitchers have all shriveled up. It’s pretty cold below freezing over night. So I was expecting if it was a bog plant to drop it’s pitchers but its leaves have been damaged. Bits of brown and discoloration.
It floats currently. My set up is it’s still in it’s original container and I float it in another tub. But I’ll take it out and try drying it a bit.
I’ll sit it outside and see if it gets happier. It probably needs more light. So I’ll give it some more.
Yeah we use well water so I might try to deionize it.
Tremendous. I posted over on carnivorous so you get a pic. I’ll try the glass rock idea. Do you water from the top then ? I’ve just let it float on a body of water so it soaks up water continuously.
Does it need a heat lamp ? I think my humidity my be an issue. Currently it’s 40% it will get higher but might need to get something to cover it if it needs more.
Minerals shouldn’t be too much of an issue. We are on bore water so nothing added to it. I was going to try deionize it if it required
So buy more land and it’s potentially a distance from your house. Communal gardens are good in theory but in practice they are far harder than just having a garden with a nice wee raised bed. Need some lettuce pop outside and get it. Unlikely you’ll bus/walk drive to the communal to grab a few leaves of something.
There wouldn’t be no. Maybe in more modern builds but all the flats I’ve rented have been 100s of years old. No ability to change interior and no luxury parking garage. Barely any parking.
If you own a house you can do what you want with it. Want to build a basement, crack on. Want to get double glazing, put in grey water. Sure. Can’t do shit in a building without building getting involved.
Fuck knows where you’ve live but no. Maybe modern ones are but old ones are freezing in winter, poorly insulated and hod awful in summer.
Bullshit. Townhouses are the epitome of corporate shite. You clearly have never been to a townhouse or have some kinda stake in them.
Townhouse with zero garden and 3 to 5 where a single house used to be. Done don’t even have parking. All the negatives of a flat without any benefits. Clearly you are a shill for a dystopian nightmare. Do you perchance live in one of these monstrosities? Maybe you’d be happy for the plevs to live in a shanty town but as long as they are separate from your house ?
Do car sharing allow dogs ? Babies that spit up or require changing? No. No they don’t. All for a car less future but that’s not now.
I want a garden I can sit out in when I’m working from home. Do you understand dogs ? Children? Don’t want have to trapes down tona local park with other people. Wanna sit outside in my garden with my trees plants and whatever with my tits out.
Privacy in my own space to play music and chill the fuck out. Not a local park, especially ones that are closed when events are on. Nope. No thanks.
Literally never seen a community garden working. In theory sure, in real life. Not a chance. As above.
Privacy isn’t just noise. It’s actually not having people inside your home. So you can play music or whatever and a person doesn’t complain. Not taking a shit. Walking about topless or naked without people all around you.
A balcony solar panel will power fuck all. Maybe a few hours as the sun hits just right and then what ? You are entitled to your opinion as am I.
You seem to be living in a utopia which would makes this apartment vs home moot.
I won’t claim apartments are for everyone. There’s no denying that you just cannot have the kind of yard that a detached or semi-detached house offers. At best, some apartments or neighbourhoods have community gardens and it’s also more common that you’d have access to broader parks (which you can’t garden in, but you can enjoy city managed gardens and generally have more space for activities).
Topless sun bathing? Letting my dog out to the garden. Working from home in the garden. Have a bbq. These are possible at local parks but with some planning and then requiring a vehicle for this purpose. Also local parks can be closed and they can be commandeered for events. Usually in summer months. Not ideal.
I personally don’t find privacy a concern with well made apartments. Well made ones have good sound isolation. I don’t usually hear my neighbours. But admittedly not every apartment is well made.
Houses can be secured with fences and bushes. Trees grown and other measures. Apartments are what they are. Maybe you could get sound proofing.
You can buy apartments (usually in the form of a condo), so you can make certain kinds of improvements. Yeah, it’s not quite the same level of customization (like windows as you mention). You certainly can make plumbing changes (e.g., if you want a nicer bathtub), though there may be some reasonable rules to protect the rest of the building from being flooded if you don’t use a licensed professional.
Obviously you’d need to get approval but yes you lose a lot of customization.
Many modern apartments do have places to charge EVs. You’ll probably pay extra for them, but they’re likely to become the norm for every parking space as EVs become more prominent. But one of the biggest boons of apartments is not needing a car in the first place! With detached homes, you simply can’t have everyone close enough together for efficient public transit. With apartments, you can live in desirable areas and close to high frequency transit stations without having to be rich.
Unfortunately we don’t really get as many options for modern blocks. I’m talking about current available stock and what about rural living. Not everyone wants to be city centre based. I’d prefer to have the complete opposite.
Some newer apartments do have solar panels. I wouldn’t be surprised if most people saved money on electricity with apartments, though. Home solar panels take a while to break even. Newer apartments usually have central boilers and chillers, which massively reduce the cost of heating and AC, which are very energy intensive.
Having something large would be very beneficial and having solar would be fantastic but it likely wouldn’t be big enough to power the whole building. This is definitely a pretty positive boon. Probably make things like plumbing and heat more efficient with smaller footprint.
Rural zones would be the complete opposite but with off grid capabilities like septics tanks solar and composting. You’d have a different smaller system at work.
Again, I won’t claim it’s for everyone. Some people really are better off dealing with the downsides of having a house (which typically will mean being far away from everything and either having to drive or having mediocre transit). But I would argue that for most people, the downsides of apartments are simply worth it. How many people actually want to change plumbing or windows? How many want to garden (beyond the amount a balcony allows)? Don’t forget the benefits, too. Stuff like living in more desirable areas (especially where you no longer need a car – that’s a massive expense removed), having amenities like a gym, pool, or rec room, if renting, not having to deal with maintenance, and better views.
Absolutely. Some people will absolutely benefit to this kinda system but as stated it’s not for everyone. No options to grow your own food, in this scenario you are entirely reliant on others. Something I hate. If I have control then I can improve or destroy my life. Been forced to be reliant on others is a complete disaster. Have you been outside? The level of entitlement and selfish is obscene. Once one turns the others likely will turn and the ecosystem stops working. Communes are a thing but they are pretty small.
I have a home gym( few weights bench and squat capabilities) don’t need anything more. I prefer dealing with maintenance as I’m in control. I can buy good quality and make sure it’s correctly fitted and I’m the one maintaining it. I think for a lot they are happy to have someone else deal with this but it’s usually cost affective and so that can come back to bite you.
I’m also not sure how well off you are, but honestly, for many people of my generation, the only way they can afford a place to live is with either an apartment or living in undesirable areas. Detached homes in the cities people want to live in are straight up out of reach for many younger people. Or as John Oliver put it in an episode about HOAs:
I’m incredibly poor and likely will buy a house soon. A house I will hate and resent until my dying breath. I don’t know your generation but I’m 32. Incredibly privileged to live with my partners parents. Rent here is 2k plus a month for 1 bedroom. Was evicted from our last rent because we bought a dog. Was worty it but lost my job and had to relocate because of it.
I will live in undesirable areas because it’s all I will be able to afford. I joke that all we can afford is a shack somewhere but that is our lot in life. Gotta love where the jobs are and fight developers and “investors” to get something.
“Our main story tonight concerns home ownership, so if you are under 35, honestly, this story isn’t for you,” Oliver said. “It’ll never be for you. You will never own a home. Sorry, that is the deal that you made when you decided to be born after 1988.”
Yes there are plenty parents that use public transportation. Now I don’t have any. Point blank. Zero. So how does that work ? Public transportation is the future but currently it takes you to a few places. If you aren’t going there then you’re screwed.
Yup I know what am allotment is. My argument was that they aren’t near you. They are away where homes aren’t. Do you need to commute to them. You can’t really walk with compost seedlings plants equipment. Also depends on distance. Great idea but complicated in real world situations.
Pv on a balcony will generate heehaw. A single cell what 400 watt array. Can only be used when sun hits it just right. Great idea to charge a phone or something but bugger all else.
Fuck hoas. Nothing else to add to that. I see no one where I live. Pleasant. Very much enjoy the solitude and not dealing with people standing outside my house. Especially with my nudity dog and working from home.
Pretty much my thought process. It’s the humans doing human things that are difficult to code for. Honestly just putting Bluetooth in every car so you can see how fast they are moving and maybe predicting their projectory would be useful.
Im thinking birds eye view like in GTA or something. You can see where you want to go and what obstacles are in the way. Gives you a lot longer to react than if it’s just your view out of the window.
Lidar can’t do that. It can ping things but not beyond those initial ones. ? Correct it’s radar but for light ? Obviously BT would create a whole new havock but it might also make life a lot easier because you know where things are that you can’t see.
You can’t see past the lorry in front of you but you can see a car is a few miles away up the road. You’ve time to pass. In the dark you can’t see but BT can.
Hackers can’t do shit. This always gets blown out. Hackers will screw systems and kill people, hackers will do this and that. Yeah I’m sure maybe a hundred can actually do that. So you’ve got 100 deaths.
I think there’s already been 30 deaths on our roads this year. I think the hacker thing is a red herring.
Absolutely agreed but I don’t live in a city so none of those things help me. Cities are pretty easy to solve some traffic woes. But for country it’s much harder and where I need driverless.
Absolutely agree. I was just thinking about this the other day. I just need a tiny transport vehicle for me. I don’t need 5 seats and a boot 90% of the time.
I’m pretty much off reddit entirely. Popped back the other day to ask a question to a sub that doesn’t exist here. I’m on this too much anyway but there little to zero content a lot of the time.
I’m trying to think what it is that I used to comment on in reddit. I can post the exact same articles but it’s the comments that make the feed and the comments are because of the range of people.
Numbers are what make it good and ultimately bad as well. You need users to create the content but then you get too many and it becomes too big.
Gotta be a sweet spot and ai in all it’s magnificence should be able to work it out
