lol within a year or 2024?

I havent heard a peep a… oh its a star trek thing gotcha

i have an e-assist bike and my 1999 ICE little honda and it works out very well.

i cycle into the city when i can. faster, exercise, dont have to pay to park (which is 4 eur an hour)

dancing in the street still gets played on the radio

ah yes ok

thats just your being reasonably intelligent

so your “They” are an organized cabal of architects, construction workers, manufacturers of air conditioners and power plant operators all working in tandem?

yes ok… the gestalt is radically different, though. if someone had a salmiak licorice and was thinking it’d be anything like salted caramel they’d find that they don’t have a lot in common.

like pineapple on pizza is sweet and salty but I wouldn’t compare it to ammonium chloride candy

now kiss

ok but its really nothing like salted caramel…

that salmiak is ammonium chrloride, not sodium chloride which is whats in salted caramel… and salted caramel is balanced between salty and sweet. I’ve had sweedish salmiak candy that is essentially a hollow cylinder of licorice that melts to a point that it dumps a quarter teaspoon of ammonium salt onto your tongue. no salted caramel comes anywhere near that, and for gods sake why would it

you dont mail them back all at once, you collect them and send them back in the envelopes they provide.

they are very, very light.

mail trucks go from my community mailbox to the city centre, then to the other hub whether or not my few ounces of brush heads are in there.

Nothing is perfect. Take biodegradable trash bags for example. There’s a higher carbon cost to make those than thin petro-chemical regular bags. You need to weigh up landfill waste vs energy costs with everything, but with more energy. Same with mining for lithium for EV batteries.

Nothing is perfect. This, I believe, is a better choice.

yeah… well maybe keep it in mind for when it craps out on you. or you could consider ditching it (while recycling the battery properly) just to stop buying new heads that’ll be around for millennia after we’re both dead

SURI. They’re made to be able to be repaired so you won’t have to replace it, and the heads are made with vegetable based plastics that you mail to them to actually get recycled.

The battery lasts for weeks and weeks, it has a UV sterilizing travel case and is the best electric toothbrush I’ve owned.

From their website:

Every toothbrush you’ve ever owned still exists.

Each year 4 billion toothbrushes are thrown away; enough to circle the earth 12 times.

Which is why we need to take toothbrush design back to first principles. If we can do our best to make each component reusable or recyclable, we can do more with less.

Ive been around a fair bit and Switzerland was the country I liked least of all the countries I’ve ever spent time in. Fucking shit hole (unless you value shopping for luxury brands. pretty amazing public transport, also)

Nearly 1,000 years old: Christ Church Cathedral, built in 1030 (Dublin)

dancing is forbidden.

and when the axe killer is looking for you in the dark he just has to listen for the sound of a robot jerking off

that actually makes sense

right yeah

why the hell are there two hills and two exit tracks for the programmers? the turbine is going to get hit in opposite directions
