The person under an abusive situation easily loses the car key to the abuser.

Ambulances get stuck all the time in congestioned cities and that’s a problem.

A car should never be someone’s night shelter, that person is homeless in that case. Houses, not cars, can solve the problem.

Want to do a special trip where car is the most convenient option? You can rent one out. If you only use a car a few times a year, buying one is a terrible waste of money and street space.

As far as I know these anti-theft measures they demand are optional in Europe and you pay extra for them. If crime is low is not such an issue not having them. So maybe Chicago should bet on reducing crime instead?

As an European I’m extremely confused by this news as well… so Chicago has a high crime problem and the city’s solution is to sue Asian carmakers? Sorry but this only makes sense in the US, I guess…

PS: maybe Hyundai should also sue Chicago city for failing to curb crime, a failure that leads to many car thefts?

Touched a nerve, did I? I would gladly ban horse trailers or leisure boats as well by the way. A small sacrifice to avoid human extinction. But yeah, blind selfishness will definitely kill us. Your petty luxuries are more important I guess.

“one parking space” is not a universal measurement unit, they come in many different sizes.

No, not all cars are created equally. Some require much more public space and some are also much more efficient at killing.

Try dieting and exercise, getting a monster truck won’t help you.

True.

Padeira de Aljubarrota killed 7 Castillians by cooking them in her bakery’s oven in 1385.

Brites de Almeida das born in 1350 with 6 fingers in each hand, a though lady, could easily kill a man with her hands (and did it a few times), was kidnapped and enslaved in Northern Africa, managed to escape with her bare hands, helped out 2 other Portuguese guys to escape, stole a boat, sailed back with the guys, had a prob with one of them, killed him. Tried to establish herself in a honest way, but crime and murder were always coming her way somehow, ended up moving towns and disguise herself as a man. Met and older lady friend, a baker, that wanted to maker her an honest person. They lived happily as a couple. Older lady dies, she inherits the bakery. Castille tries to occupy Portugal, big battle, Portugal is outnumbered but manages to have a spectacular win. Some castillans are running around and looting. She lures 7 into her bakery, cooks them alive in her oven. Forever a national hero and legend.

Nothing of this is proven, including the Castillans she killed (which is the factoid that made her a hero) but there’re even songs about her and whenever Portugal plays against Spain in football you’ll see some people dressed as a baker on the stadium.

A lesbian serial-killer who escapsed enslavement to kill Castillans in one of the most important battles of our history? To me nothing can be truer than this, independently of what you can prove or not.

I meant I could see the appeal of a car big enough to just drive over a jam of small cars. But I don’t really mean it, of course. Hope the one shown is just some stupid prototype that will never be mass produced.

Still not high enough to just drive over the other cars… just stupidly big without achieving anything :P

And rabbit, a mammal, is white meat.

You’ll just be feeding them and Twitter. And feeding a nazi website helping fo keep it relevant is indeed unethical.

Either rich or Only Fans models.

Websites could simply have no cookies and not bother us with them or the note.

Can you prove the 8 weeks in landfill claim? With a proper study, I’ll take nothing less after this talk.

Thank God you’re not super nitpicky.

It’s a fact published in dozens of websites included official websites of trash management services and companies.

This is not my area of expertise and I won’t look up anything else, but do feel free to do it and inform all those websites about your findings

I first heard this number at a conference by a PhD expert who studies these issues. But I never went looking for the exact origin, because I didn’t find it so hard to believe (given the context).

Certainly there are some specific conditions that freeze that decomposition and that might not always be present. This article mentions the lignin effect, that delays decomposition in anaerobic conditions, but no specific reference to lettuce. Can’t open other articles that seem more directly related.

If they’re more intelligent than us but with the same morals we’re doomed, so we might have not time to adapt our religions.

Hard to believe was what was being asked 😅 the number is present in many websites about trash or composting, but I don’t know it’s exact origin. But I guess at some moment someone digged on a 25 year old landfill and found remains of a lettuce.

Even if this is exaggerating, the moral of the story is that it’s such a waste to send organics to landfills at a time where we’re losing soils at record pace. Food waste should be composted and returned to the soil.

But it’s possible that that lettuce was a fresh and plastic wrapped thrown to the landfill like that, because that does happen as well. And maybe that created optimal conditions to prevent decomposition.
