Right. And food is sold at below that lower bound, which is one reason it is affordable.

efficiency ≠ price

you’ve glossed over a lot of economics. Like, for one thing, the EU gives about €55 billion in agricultural subsidies a year.

The solution I propose: every household gets a government issued pig.

It’s crazy when you think about the whole supply chain: preparing the soil, ploughing, applying fertilisers, applying pesticides, harvesting, processing, transporting, and then you just chuck it out and each step of production had its footprint.

was in 1990s tv too

Yeah but it won’t taste the way it used to

Yes, July the 19th was a sad day

The oil industry didn’t legally manipulate velomobiles into having a wide turning circle

This comment is rational.

For those inter-city bike lanes like you see in some parts of France they would be great.

The Velomobile: High-tech Bike or Low-tech Car?

I feel there’s probably some reasons they haven’t become popular.

• Don’t turn as nimbly as a bike

• Can’t put them on your shoulder and carry them indoors, onto a train, etc. like as a bike

• Don’t climb hills as well as a bike (source)

• 20× the cost of a bike, maybe that could be brought down by economies of scale if they were more popular

I could imagine a velomobile being preferable if you’re commuting from a satellite town to the city, and the journey consists of a long straight road.

I’d definitely say they’re worse for getting around the city, and their comparative advantages are bought at the price of significant extra overhead.

One cool thing about piracy battles is ISPs’ interests are aligned with the pirates. It’s the record labels who are against it.

you can also have a free trial

eh, so they charge for it

that’s beautiful

If you’re watching the things you want to watch, the “That’s not the right site so it doesn’t count!” argument doesn’t make much sense.

There’s no such thing as “fake” or “real” in this context.

This is not rocket science. You want to watch telly: you find the site, hit play, it plays.

Nah, search for ‘aniwave’ and you can find it easily

Hahahaha

Imagine believing a website is down because a paper says so.

Takes five seconds to find.
