- Comment on Why Does Flying Suck so Much? | Robert Reich 1 year ago:
The problem is not flying itself, it’s the lack of stimulus to make flying green. If governments would actually tax jet fuel, we probably would have figured out hydrogen based airplanes by now. We should stop blaming consumers for wanting to live a good and fulfilling live and start pressuring companies to do what is right. We have the tech, we just don’t have the right “incentive” for these companies.
- Comment on Why British cities make no sense 1 year ago:
This is also the case in The Netherlands. I live in a "city" with 15.000 residents, whilst there are "villages" with 100.000. Just because newer places(?) never got the ceremonial title of city.
- Comment on EU votes to mandate removable batteries in smartphones in a landslide; no more glued together junk! 1 year ago:
Who says flexible batteries couldn't be made replaceable? The might have to attach it differently than using glue, but other than that, I don't see why it can't be replaceable. Additionally, replaceable does not have to mean that you can just click open a back cover and pull it out. It could also mean that you have to remove x number of screws to remove it, which is still fine.
- Comment on My dog and I got jumped by raccoons this morning. Now I have to pay at least $1500 to make sure I don't get rabies 1 year ago:
Most countries don’t have free healthcare. But require people to be insured. E.g here in NL you have to have atleast basic coverage costing roughly 140 euro a month
