I had a good experience with their customer service.

My Kobo bricked a few days after the warranty expired (it’s possible I broke it installing koreader improperly or something) and they replaced it no problem.

Took a few weeks but I was happy they replaced it at all.

A ballet dancer who’s going through some serious psychological shit, and the story of the movie is kinda a modern retelling of the ballet she’s performing in

No, I’m saying teachers make considerably more than garbage collectors as in most places. I know they get next to nothing in deep red states but that’s not the norm.

Also garbage collection is probably hard on your back and not suitable to do for a whole career, and is probably pretty boring, though some people like a boring job

Where do garbage collectors make more than teachers?

It’s a decent union public sector job and pays decently, but so is teaching and that requires more education.

Interesting, I’ve been told that it’s illegal to sleep in your car in Canada when drunk because being in a car with possession of the keys is enough to show intent to DUI and get arrested.

I imagine it’s something you could fight in court and win with a good lawyer, but it always seemed counter intuitive to me.

The question is who would want one?

If you’re a big graphics nerd, who really needs the highest quality everything, you probably have a PC. If you’re an average consumer , the PS5 is fine. A PS5 Pro seems unnecessary.

Haiti didn’t finish paying off its debt to France until 1947. (The debt was sold to Citibank at some point). That debt was partly buying the freedom of the enslaved population.

It never had a chance to get off the ground.

This is such a weird post, implying that tiktok is the only place to find a good hashbrown recipe and therefore it shouldn’t be banned.

I know lemme.ml is a tankie instance but come on

But since world war II the word has connotations of discrimination, superiority and harmful intent. Words change so the original definition isn’t the correct one.

I’d give him more credit, it doesn’t take a genius to encourage people to subscribe to a philosophy and or vote for a person that will benefit you.

He knows what he’s doing

Under most definitions of racism that’s not true. Racism is usually defined as towards a minority or marginalized group. Discrimination toward the dominant group isn’t racism how it’s usually understood.

Conservatives are trying to redefine it, but that’s not the legal or academic definition anywhere where the courts haven’t been hijacked by conservative nutcases.

A car tax to fund public transit is such common sense, but I don’t see it ever being popular enough to become policy in North America.

Some cities have massive underground parking infrastructure which is best of both worlds.

People who want the luxury of driving can, they just have to pay the high parking prices, meanwhile the city is still walkable because we’re taking advantage of vertical space.

It’s the big flat parking lots and big box stores that make a city miserable to live in without a car

There’s a lot of people who do want to live in dense neighborhoods, enough to drive up prices fighting over the tiny supply, but from a whole population point of view it’s a minority. Politicians still listen exclusively to the suburbanites. Even in the dense neighborhoods, the NIMBYs are listened to more than anyone wanting our cities to look more like Europe or (the good parts of) Asia.

Exactly, instead of comparing EVs to ICEVs we should compare them to public transit.

If every dollar spent on EVs was being put into LRTs and regional rail where would we be?

Yeah we need cars in rural areas, but that’s not where most people live.
