I think not having neighbours is only really possible for a small number of people, mostly in agricultural work. If the majority of people didn’t want neighbours, we could not sustain the populations that exist, end of story.
Spreading people out is part of the reason why so many counties in the US are going broke, because infrastructure per person gets so much more expensive when compared to property taxes.
Cars are certainly needed in rural areas, but emphasis on the rural. Even modest towns could and can afford small public transport networks if they plan correctly.
I think you are a fuck cars guy, if this is your opinion.
Cars have their uses, but just as you rightly point out, they’re way overused because of lack of better infrastructure.
They’re just too expensive. Like, sure, it costs money to run, but 3.49€/month (the discounted 24 month rate) for the mail only plan, 15 GB storage. (41.88€, $45.17 USD, $67.28 AUD per year)
That’s really expensive if you just want mail.
The other stuff, is also really expensive. To the point that makes you think, “there is no way google is making THIS much to make up the difference in advertising to me for a comparable plan”.
Or Amelia, Melissa or simply just Millie, who’s gonna stop you?
You can definitely skip learning the local language these days if you’re just a short-term tourist. Translate anything written with OCR, and for most other things just smile, point, fingers for numbers, and again machine translation is totally fine for simple things.
If you actually assume people can speak English though, that’s not cool.
It’s the M/D/Y that sneaks up on me as someone from the rest of the world.
Whenever you’re in the first 12 days of the month, you just don’t know :/
At least with feet and inches I’m quickly prompted to fix it.
Although sometimes, in all the developers wisdom that the only place in the world is the USA, you can’t change it.
Ah I see, many thanks!
Wait, Hades, specially part of Greek mythology, is part of Christianity too? And death?
The drawbacks are many and the benefits are few.
Watching foreign films would be a pain, where is this in the world again, what does 19:00 mean for them? More exposition, or you just have to guess based on languag and accent.
I need this work done by our team in XYZ country, what are their working hours? (wow, look at that, still using timezones?)
When you arrive somewhere on holiday, now you have to get a sense of the time there. Or continually be thinking “what’s that in my home time?/what’s that in solar time”, which is why solar time just makes more sense.
People aren’t going to stop thinking in solar time, ever. We’re hard-wired to be awake with the sun. It doesn’t matter what the numbers are, you will associate them with the sun. The question then becomes, would we rather all use roughly the same numbers (timezones, what we currently have), or different numbers (everyone using UTC).
Using UTC solves only 1 problem, you can say verbally to someone across the world, let’s make the meeting 15:00 - but this is already easily solved by using a calendar which converts for you…
There’s a reason we have never used a single non-solar time, it’s just worse and I think there’s a reason these posts always end up on programmer focused places on the internet. Yes, I’m sure their job is annoying, and it would be easier to not have to solve time conversion problems, but the time conversion problems wouldn’t even go away if you forced everyone to use UTC. You’d just start having to do conversions to solar time, or looking up waking hours (which is just timezones)
This is a solved problem.
I look forward to future comics tying in this lore into the “anything could be cake” universe.
A single region within a member country can veto an entire block’s will, even if the rest of the country assents? That seems very broken as a voting system, to me.
It’s very depressing, also for those of us in the imperial sphere of countries. Because we’re beholden to US foreign policy, and the worse the US gets, the more dangerous it is for us.
I mean, we (Australia) already we’re doing war crimes for the US in Afghanistan (look up David McBride, the Australian military lawyer), already buying $300 subs as some kind of tributary payment, already followed you into dozens of wars we had no business being a part of, I truly worry for what’s next under a more corrupt US regime.
Yikes.
If God was real / or is real and cared, we would have a perfect 336 day year.
In Australia, they’ll give you the fraction of the note value between 20 and 80% of the full value:

Wolverine just isn’t allowed to lose more than 80% 👍
It’s not like AI is a legally defined term anywhere (that I’ve head of). Surely someone will end up suing google for things like this.
So far I’m sensing a food related theme with your sexual conquests
It really feels like some by-gone form field so many just keep putting on there because it’s always been there.
So many places, including doctor practices, ask for this (in Australia), and you’re just left feeling, why?? This is useless information that they don’t need to know.
For tax, home loans, etc, sure, that’s relevant information.
