I’d do something g similar except ride all the electric interurban trains that no longer exist.

Not having children is one of the easiest ways to contribute to solving climate change, which is exactly why we should encourage it regardless of whether the person is also taking other steps to solve it (which we don’t know). Not having a child also saves 58 tons of CO2 emissions per year, so it’s one of the most effective things you can do to fight climate change too, so that simple action does a lot to fight for a better world.

Workers and Resources, as well as Factorio! (Space DLC of course.) I’m starting a new game of Factorio with my brother and already sucked in despite not even having green science yet.

Hard agree, I’m rooting for the bucks over the cubs (and the packers over the bears)

I know it feels as bad as Reddit

But with WiFi, you don’t have to pay extra for more data usage.

WiFi?

No, road design should be improved to make it comfortable and reasonable to follow the laws, and uncomfortable to break them. Think raised crosswalks that function as speed bumps at intersections, narrow roads to reduce speeding, that sort of thing.

But if I click, will I start getting recommendations like OP’s feed?

Glad I’m on iPhone where I don’t have to worry about “launchers” and everything works out of the box.

I haven’t played OpenTTD, but comparing from the videos I’ve seen, yes it’s uglier.

I like Simutrans, which is basically an OpenTTD competitor with more complexity but an uglier interface. Sadly development on it has been fairly slow, at one point there was a one-way road patch but it’s since been abandoned.

It would be nice if I was not logged out every few hours when browsing on iOS (safari). It’s annoying and I often just read threads logged out, then get sad when I can’t upvote without scrolling to the top to log in again.

TBF considering how slow/unreliable and infrequent it tends to be, it’s hard to believe anyone would use it if they didn’t have other options. Even in my city (where buses run 30 minutes instead of every hour as is common elsewhere), it takes an hour and 15 minutes to get somewhere that’s a straight 15 minute freeway drive by car. And it’s worse in larger cities where buses are delayed by traffic such that you miss your transfer.

And it’s not like improvements like BRT or light rail will change it much considering how often they run in boulevards with 35mph speed limits and stop lights vs the 65mph grade separated freeways. Even a grade separated subway would be slower than driving unless it had spaced out stops, but then walking to said stops would take a lot of time (plus we couldn’t afford one, especially not one that actually serves the sprawl).

Under these conditions, it’s understandable to not even bother considering it as an option.

You never see gas pumps on their own, they’re always attached to some sort of store, and from what I’ve heard has makes very little profit but brings customers so they’re both pretty closely tied together.

Yes I’ve never walked to the local gas station to buy gas but I’ve walked to the local gas station plenty of times to buy bananas, cigarettes, and various snacks. I feel like they probably asked “gas stations” specifically because it was a more familiar way to say “convenience stores” because in practice most Americans don’t visit standalone convenience stores much (and people probably think of the ones that cater specifically to alcohol/cigs/sketchy lottery tickets).

Or maybe they thought “grocery store” meant a giant Walmart-type building with an ugly parking lot and heavy car traffic.

Most gas stations come with convenience stores, and I’d imagine people would want to walk there to get quick snacks, munchies, and beer. Some (like Wawa and Kwik Trip) can be surprisingly nice, even featuring hot meals, free ATMs, and basic groceries.

I know they could have specified “convenience store” but most people’s experience with convenience stores is at gas stations, and it seems like a lot of the ones without gas stations are sketchy/alcohol-focused, or are ethnic stores with weird groceries.
