I live in a large European city where the subway and bike are usually quicker than driving. My commute is 0.8 miles so it wouldnt be worth driving there.

I dont drive often, so when I do, I want to enjoy the ride as much as possible. I’ve also never found it to be exausting (though the longest I’ve driven was 2h and when I’m on the highway I dont have to switch gears anyway so there’s that)…

50% of newly produced cars sold in Europe are automatic. Manuals are definitely more popular but there are definitely automatic cars.

Its machines making DECISIONS thats the issue.

Just saying, you can stay in 1st gear for 10mph.

That was the case 20 years ago.

If its at an angle, yes. But i presume this was on flat terrain. BTW, 1st gear is only if its in danger of rolling backwards. If its in danger of rolling forwards, park in reverse gear.

Its appealing for people that want driving to be more engaging in contrast to people that want it to be less engaging and more layed back (like you do).

For me, driving a manual feels more rewarding/tactile, like typing on a mechanical keyboard instead of a touchscreen.

(And manual cars are usually cheaper to buy and, more importantly, maintain here in Europe)

You dont need permission to comment on something as far as Im concerned. + Only having opinions that match your own is not good a thing (its called a filter bubble).

I can get this 2TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB (from Amazon, shipped to the USA) for under 100$: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-970-EVO-Plus-MZ-V7S2T0B/dp/B07MFZXR1B/

On the Github page you linked it says under Installation: “Clone the repository and install the required dependencies enlisted in requirements.txt.”

It seems like you didnt do that…

SSDs are cheap nowadays, you can very easily find a 2TB SSD for under 100 bucks.

Fair enough, I’d just find such a world depressing from my more liberal point of view.

There is no definite proof, there is also no definite proof that a quantum can even be in a superposition at all (in the sense od being in two states at once) becuae we cannot observe it. Physicist Niels Bohr for example believes that the outcome is already set long before we observe it.

Right, but disproportionate wealth can always be used to influence populations, in any system. Is the solition really to eliminate disproportional wealth completely?

Because for science calculations, the Kelvin scale makes the most sense and Celcius is the Kelvin scale shifted up to make it useful for our daily use.

Persons with larger amounts of money having an influence on the government seems more like a problem with democracy rather than an issue with capitalism.

If we had, in theory, a direct democracy (aka we vote for every decision) then a (regulated) capitalist market seems good to me…

This wouldnt work because if quantums are grouped together they lose their quantum properties. Thus a duck in a superposition can unfortunately not exist :)

The answer is 42.

Lemmy is developed, run and largely used by open source enthusiasts; FreeCAD is too. Thus I dont find it particularly surprising that open source communities (such as FreeCAD’s) were quick to open a Lemmy community.

What if its stress-related? Like having headaches because you are stressed out…
