My car is over 20 years old and cost well below the average used car price in North America. I’m not rich, just a car enthusiast.

But I keep an open mind. What other things can I do to help the environment?

least their use case is part of their employment, and not part of their entirely optional entertainment.

And if they’re driving to an entertainment event, like say a concert, a vacation, or a park, is that any better than me going for a drive for the sake of going for a pleasure cruise of equal distance? Keep in mind that my sports car is no gas guzzler. It gets the same fuel economy as an average, mid-sized sedan, and better than an average SUV or truck which dominate our roads.

I’m happy to spend my carbon budget on an occasional Sunday cruise with the top down on a sunny afternoon, rather than overseas holidays, excessive consumption, etc. I don’t commute by car, I ride my bike as much as possible, and I advocate for improved public transit infrastructure in my community, which all have a far greater impact than my ~460 kg/year of CO2 from my joyrides.

Isn’t the more significant problem that the 98% of motorists who don’t give a rat’s ass about the driving experience, are effectively forced to drive when they could be taking alternative transport, if the infrastructure supported it?

Please, for the love of God, quadruple the carbon tax and invest it all in public transit, so that cars are treated like the luxury they should be.

Au contraire, my Fuck Cars fellow. A sports car’s agile handling and peppy acceleration are enjoyable even at street legal speeds. They are of course most enjoyable when driven nearer to the limits at a track, but most stock “sports cars” require some modifications to be reliably driven under such intense conditions.

I’ll have what he’s having.

No cutting in line!

Puerto Rico, to Alberta

I literally wouldn’t subject my worst enemy to that.

E. A. Sports. I’ssin the game.

FWIW, Snopes says the claim that Biden shat his pants in France is false. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-invisible-chair-dday/

Yeah, he reimplemented it in Java to get garbage collection. The Alzheimer’s is cured but he takes ten minutes to pour a glass of water.

Depends on your definition of “better”. Better bitrate and quality? Yes. But that comes at the cost of reduced range (since it’s more dependent on a good connection to the source device).

LDAC or bust, homie.

IPTV is the name of the pirated cable TV streams. Personally, I consider commercialized piracy to be a bit distasteful compared to the free and open source route, and I have the know how to self host my own streaming service.

Although it’s not piracy, another free option to consider for live TV, if you’re within range of TV broadcasters, is a digital TV antenna. I’m looking into that since not only is it free and legal, it’s also the best picture quality, not compressed like IPTV (legit or pirated) or even cable.

There has certainly been a correlation for being black and being charged with possession of weed if that’s what you mean.

I never understood the logic behind that. What’s the reason for it?

Are we afraid that all of the criminals will form a Crime Party and campaign to legalize burglary and murder? 😈

Or do we think the type of person who would commit a violent crime is going to be incentivized to not commit a crime because of losing their right to vote, in a country where half the people don’t vote anyway?

Before I mug this old lady, I really should consider that this upcoming election has huge ramifications and I really don’t want to risk losing my right to vote. I don’t mind jail, community service, or monetary fines; it’s voting that might prevent me from commiting this offense. 🤓

No, I think it’s more likely that some people don’t want other people who are disproportionately convicted of crimes (you know, those people) to have a voice.

Is your name a dig at Lemony Snickett?

I can already imagine the Tom Clancy thriller where some Joe Nobody gets roped into helping crack a terrorist’s locked phone because his face looks just like the terrorist’s.
