With high speed rail, your commute could be at the top speed of a sport bike, and without the slowdowns of traffic. The travel time would be more predictable, and you have your attention available for other things during the ride.

This would be effective. Altering the way we designed cities would allow new developments to abandon roads. Create walkable areas connected to an overarching network of high speed rail. As more sections go up, population will fill it, and priority can be given to residents that need to move to make way for the next redevelopment section.

Electric vehicles are here to save the auto industry. We need to replace personal automobiles with strong public transportation for the climate.

Yeah, nobody else understood it in the slightest. I loved to read, and was already consuming highschool level novels in mid elementary. My aunt gave me two or three Shel Silverstein books, I'm not sure where I came across the poem Richard Cory.

I was in like third grade when I was assigned to write a short essay comparing two pieces of writing and exposing a common theme. I chose The Mask, by Shel Silverstein, and Richard Cory, by Edward Arlington Robinson. My paper was titled, Does Richard Cory Wear The Mask. At the time I had not yet realized that feeling this way was uncommon, and it was strange to me that none of my classmates seemed to understand what I saw as a fundamental point of existence.

You should not have to buy a new key for a machine that came with windows. That will most likely automatically activate back to whichever edition you had before the wipe.

You carrying my bag around? Hehe. I also keep a tablet, and a leash and collar for my dog.

A Surface might do, unless you find that to be too big for your liking.

This is one hill we'll have to drag the deniers over kicking and screaming. I doubt they will ever come around, even as the weather gets to the point of melting their face.

We're just starting to see the start of it getting worse, but it's only going to keep getting worse, and continue to do so even more quickly.

Systemd basically is what starts up other processes. You don't need systemd, but you do need some init manager. Kernel loads, then calls up the init manager to load everything else. Anything you want to make run on startup gets added to the init manager.
