Nah, Chicagos a great town with excellent food, culture, museums and events. Lots of festivals in the summer, it runs along a beatuiful lake with nice beaches, it has great people, all in all I love Chicago. Full disclosure, there are neighborhoods with high crime, it is unfortunately super segregated, and cold as hell in the winter.

I mean I very much want an electric truck just not for $70,000+, I need a a vehicle that can do the following:

• Carry a 4 person family
• Is reliable/newer/won't break down
• Can do trips to the hardware store/hold lumber/drywall/etc on occasion
• Can move furniture/appliances on occasion
• Can move hay/straw on a semi regular basis
• Bonus points if I can take off road/on mountain trails

If there was an affordable electric truck that could do this I would buy it, but I bought my (used) Tacoma for about $25k 4 years ago and I really can't justify anything more expensive then that.

So if they can bring electric trucks down in price, I will buy one, and I want it to look like a truck, I would never consider a cyber truck, thats beyond ugly.

Well no, because you also have the option of not using the app, in which case none of your data will be used...

I'm actually fine with it, in the case of Lemmy this is all public data, whether or not Lemmy admins are training AI on it, there is nothing to stop me from training my own AI models with this data.

I think the larger issue is I don't consider it "your data" once you put it on one of these sites. As soon as you take your own thought and put it on facebook/instagram/reddit/whatever, it's now theirs, it lives in their databases, and frankly for a social media company it's probably their most valuable asset.

No one is forcing anyone to use social media, if you want your thoughts and actions to be your own I would recommend not putting them on the internet.

Code documentation is like sex, when it's good it's great, and when it's not good...it's still better then no documentation.

Although how small a “small” town should be is up for debate, the U.S. Census Bureau has used 50,000 people as a benchmark measure for large cities, so we used the same number to separate small urban areas from large urban areas.

So a city with 49,000 is being counted as a "small town". Sorry, that's not a small town, "small town", in my book is around 2,000 people or less, this title is misleading. A 40,000 person town, is a town or maybe a small city, but no shit those people aren't all voting for republicans. Pick a major metro area and look at the cities/towns that surround them (aka the suburbs) going by this, they count as "small towns".

If a flag is on the right side of your body (or in this case car) then it's reversed otherwise it's normal.

The U.S. flag appears backward on military uniforms when worn on the right side, so the canton is assaulting forward. This reflects the image of the American flag flying in the wind, the blue union field always moving forward to symbolize the bravery and commitment of military service members.

One or two well behaved dogs and it's awesome.

They're quoting Blund users though, Blind is a cesspool of silicon Valley tech bros. It's often just a dick measuring contest between FAANG workers about who makes more money.

"Tell me you spank the monkey before any big date. Oh my God, he doesn't flog the dolphin before a big date. Are you crazy? That's like going out there with a loaded gun! Of course that's why you're nervous"

Its nice to see that the Lemmy fuckCars crowd is a little more understanding that cars are needed outside of cities. I live in rural Colorado and I can drive for hours w/o traffic.

For example, this photo was taken in the forest a few miles from my house.
