Yes people, I know you only use bikes and trains and whatnot. But some people neee cars, and you have to respect that. Or are you gonna tell this mother of 2, living in a village, working from office 20km from home, that she would be better off just sticking to the public transport which visits her place once every 2 hours.

The point of this movement isn't to simply ban cars like that will somehow solve all of life's problems. Some people use bikes and trains not just because they can, but because they have to.

Cars are a symptom of a pattern of development that makes us disconnected, both from each other and from our needs. It isn't right that you should have to work 20km from home where the only option you have is to spend monthly payments on a car loan, insurance and gas. You should have the option to work from home, or closer to home, or within reach of easily accessible and usable public transit.

Lidarr also serves as a music organization tool. You can set up rules for folders and how music files should be renamed. It can also apply metadata tags automatically.

I think my favourite thing about those old Lumias was the dedicated camera shutter. The 1020 even had a battery grip case so you could hold it more like a digital camera.

It's a bit of a process to get it going, but it's worth it for me so that I can use my phone to cast directly without needing to use a smart home device.

I use plexamp as well, I think I bought Plex Pass specifically to have it.

You can install a headless plexamp client onto a Raspberry Pi and have it hooked up to an audio receiver for seamless music casting.

My only bike is a '90s Dutch omafiets. Rack, fenders, frame lock, fixed lighting, chain case, coaster brakes, single speed and riding comfort for days. I've replaced nearly every part on this thing myself since I bought it used.

Not for everyone depending on local terrain, but if you live somewhere flat I couldn't recommend it more.

Clearly municipalities can't be trusted to hold the provincial government's leaders' financial interests. More bike lanes means more people on bikes, meaning fewer cars being sold, meaning less money available for schmoozing from the auto industry. We can't have that, it's bad for the economy, or something.

Conservatives are pro small government and anti regulation only when it suits their agenda.

The coolest thing when you start the DLC is that you realize that this whole thing has just been out there the entire time you've been playing and you didn't know it. Then you finally get there and you can play the entire DLC while the rest of the game keeps going without you.
