The Fall Out Boy remix of Hand Crushed By A Mallet by 100 Gecs (https://spotify.link/Vtwt9T0DhDb) is absolutely fantastic, a brilliant pop punk cover right up until the end when it's just melted into absolute fucking noise. I get it, it's Gecs. But just let it be a good cover - please.
Looks like they did get the message with their most recent album as it's a lot more listenable.
Just wanted to jump in here - I ended up doing as the commenter below me has said and bought a 20TB external hard drive. Well worth doing imo. I'm going to keep all of my important media that I want to save on the 5TB as a backup.
Really pleased to hear this. I will be staying on Beehaw for the foreseeable future, I'm on the same page as the admins.
I feel a bit weird stimulating that community myself, because I don't live there any more. It was really nice to keep up with what was going on! And some people do post on Lemmy...but not enough.
Amen to that!
It's a status symbol. I used to live next to tradies who would laugh about a guy turning up on the worksite with a cheap Ute or an automatic transmission. Having a big, powerful muscle car is - as Nick Offerman describes it - like having a carapace for these men to hide in and feel protected.
I have owned a SUV in the past - Toyota Rav. I really liked that car. It was a pain to park and I scraped it a few times, but it felt nice to be higher up and comfortable, especially when I was a new driver.
I know in hindsight now I don't need any of those things. I'm a lot more confident as a driver and am perfectly happy with smaller cars.
You should watch Not Just Bikes' video on Light Trucks, it's pretty eye opening.
That's sad. But do you think it's less to do with wanting to own a bigger car, and more that regular people can't really afford to buy new cars anyway? So the sample size is skewed in favour of rich people (or moderately well off) who can actually afford a new car in the first place?
Maybe that's why we are seeing a surge in e bikes.
We need to start having waste be part of the consideration when producing a product. If your product is meant to last a long time, there should be a strategy for bringing it back and recycling it fully. This goes for computers, phones, cars, whatever!
Regulate SUVs / Pickup Trucks properly for safety and tax the shit out of them. Nobody needs these cars, they're status symbols first and foremost. Make it preferable to own a small car.
So - the announcements are in Greek, they've just modernised the buses. Cool. Seems like it should be something used more often by the locals.
There has got to be more to this story. Do the buses get stuck in the same traffic jams as other cars? Are they infrequent? Do they only service certain areas?
YES. Thank you. This is the kind of community I've been looking for.
