Switched to Fedora at the beginning of the year and couldn’t be happier.

Precisely. And if someone can’t be convinced not to spend thousands of their own money on a transportation method in order to cover less than 1% of their trips, I don’t think they can be convinced at all.

I mean, I wasn’t even talking about cottaging, yet you insisted on bringing it into the conversation. You seem to want coverage for specific “edge cases” but I don’t think you’re open to any actual things that address those.

Solutions that cover a majority of use cases are better anyways. These edge cases are minor problems that aren’t relevant to the majority of transportation needs.

Going to a cottage once a year doesn’t require you own a car for the whole year.

Sometimes it’s both of those things.

I’m sorry, do you expect the government to build a train to every cottage? Ridiculous /s

There’s a difference between “I have a cottage that I visit 2 times a year” and “I live in the middle of nowhere and can’t possibly survive without a car!!” that a disproportionate number of people claim.

Over 80% of Canadians live in urban areas, yet much more than 20% seem to think they live in such a rural environment that lowering car usage is impossible.

Apparently all Canadians live in remote cabins several hours away from the nearest town, based on the “how can I live without a car” replies I’ve gotten over the years.

It’s all about the right tool for the job. Trams work well for shorter trips, and can be a serious upgrade over buses.

However, there’s a bit of a trend in North America to use low-floor trams in somewhat inappropriate places; building expensive tunnels, guideways, and stations in less than appropriate places. Which basically results in a metro, but worse (slower, more uncomfortable for riders, and still often interacts with traffic) for something that still ends up being expensive.

I feel like with 3B they should at least be able to electrify the existing tracks between Rancho Cucamonga and LA Union, and have Brightline stop there. Would make the whole thing so much nicer.

Probably more important to get the project completed first. It’s not a perfect project by any means, but it’s still pretty good overall.

Driverless EMUs > Driverless Cars

Having a few more drinks than you planned to when out because you took transit to get there.

Took me too long to realize that I’ve always loved transit, but just never had the opportunity to use it

Currently just using Jellyfin, but have used both Plex and Emby in the past.

Main reason I switched from Plex was mobile support. I also prefer FinAmp, which I use to download music for access when I’m at work, and at home I can access my entire collection through the same app.

I recommend setting up everything through Docker. I have Portainer running, which helps manage the containers. It was pretty trivial to switch what I was using by just setting up a different container. You can also have both running at the same time off the same library, and see what you prefer.

Pretty sure PC is cheaper when it’s on discount, but I haven’t paid attention to it in ages.

That’s literally the brand I was referring to, haha. I haven’t actually bought it in a while though, since for several years the closest Loblaws store was too far away.

I’m now closer to one, but still haven’t picked any up. Haven’t timed any of my visits with when it’s on discount, and otherwise it’s around the same price as KD. Haven’t been eating much of that sort of food anyways.

No Name has some pretty solid stuff. Not necessarily always the top quality, but generally decent value.

Hate to praise them too much because Galen Weston can go f* himself, but you kind of have to pick one billionaire or another when talking about store brands up here.

There’s this white cheddar flavour mac and cheese and the store brand where I am is much better than the Kraft version.

There might be a bit of nostalgia though for me as it was one of the go-to “quick and easy” meals my mom would make for us as a kid.

I think I’m going to have to play some NIMBY Rails soon…

I think they’re pretty cool
