That'll probably evolve into s๐Ÿฅš๐Ÿฅš

I'm going to be unreasonable because I don't like the ethics behind Pharma companies.

They should eat the loss; their research was healthily subsidised by the taxpayer

In fact it's the first time the government will be able to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies!

Yes! That's a great start ๐Ÿ‘Œ especially if the negotiator is NOT getting a kickback from Pharma for negotiating a high price

I'm the opposite lol, I pretend I don't know anything at all, even if it's something I'm fairly familiar/comfortable with

TIL, don't know why I didn't realise spirit levels are called "spirit" for a reason - it's not colored water inside ๐Ÿ˜ญ

EDIT: I truly don't understand how you haters imagine I'm supposed to haul all this stuff around with a bike.

This kind of thinking is why people buy/lease 2 ton F-150s, which only ever get used as a commuter and never really see a day of "hauling goods". Same thinking behind massive crossovers and SUVs, with piss poor gas mileage and horrible road visbility. The only time you'll see those off-road is in a driveway ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

People who actually NEED to "haul" stuff will own a covered bed like the one you've shown, or even better a panel van/box van!

There are no haters here IMO, you just come across as a troll to me personally... occasionally there's people who want to nuke cars out of existence but they're a minority pretty much

This community is about reducing car dependency, not removing cars as a whole, especially in rural areas where they 110% make sense. A farmer isn't going to replace their pickup with a cargobike, or their tractor with a fietscombine or whatever. In cities where there are more efficient ways to move huge volumes of people around, cars don't make a lot of sense, just contributing to excess noise, traffic, and smog.

The way the US was rebuilt, and continues to build today, makes it difficult to actually have any alternatives to a car. Sprawling neighborhoods make buses not ideal, wide roads make speeding possible so unsafe for cycling, the low density of these areas make them very hard to justify putting train infrastructure nearby.

I think it's a bit shit to be forced into owning a car, with all its requirements (insurance, maintenance, gas etc) instead of having at least some options open to you (bicycle, bus, train, and car)

Wow, congrats on the walking! Sad that your car was a write off though. I'm kinda lazy and usually end up using my bike as a replacement for walking sometimes... even when I probably shouldn't ๐Ÿ˜…

I've found that doing more frequent, smaller shopping trips really helps with keeping fresh food at home

Wow what an analogy lol

Those custom/unusual UI elements are probably there for backwards compatibility. Firefox's latest android release supports Android 5.0, whereas Chrome's latest release supports Android 7.0

A lot of new Android UI elements are simply missing from the older versions, especially 5.0, so Firefox re-implements them itself AFAICT. Because of this I can't see Firefox updating the look/feel of their app, more custom components will just have worse performance on older devices as time goes on

Ubuntu saw my Brother network printer and I printed what I needed.

I love how easily printers work on Linux. Visited my parents for a day last week, and within seconds of joining their wlan I got a notification that their Brother network printer was found and ready for printing
