System76 or Framework laptop?
  • I want to be able to swap out parts, or repair the laptop when something breaks. For that it seems like Framework would be the best.
    I've been trying to convince my partner that we need to buy one. My only problem is that I have a perfectly good desktop, and don't need a laptop.

  • [meme] Trains are 100000x easier to electrify and automate than cars, so why does everyone keep talking about electric and driverless cars?
  • I have been using my bike for most short trips.
    I've even ridden my bike into the city, then taken a train most of the way home when I realised I'm not as fit as I thought I was.

    I've actually solved most of my travel issues by staying home and deciding that I don't actually need to travel. This works less well when the purpose of travel is to get food.

  • EV's are so much more efficient that even running from electricity produced by coal, they are significantly better than ICE (internal combustion engine) cars. Just the electricity used to refine enough fuel to drive 100mi would be enough to drive an average EV more than 60mi. (This detail gets conveniently left out when comparing ICE cars to EVs).

    We still need to decarbonise the grid, and as that happens, all electric cars (regardless of age) will become less polluting too. Having an unclean grid is not an excuse to keep using ICE vehicles.

  • I have an electric car because I refuse to pay any more money to fossil fuel companies but still need to drive. I use public transport where possible, but many trips just aren't viable.

    It takes me 30 minutes to walk to the nearest shopping centre, but 2 hours to get there by public transport, or 5 minutes by car.

    As an average citizen, I don't have the means to build or fund new railway lines. I am, however, lucky enough to be able to refuse to drive fossil fueled vehicles and still survive.

  • My partner notices I have a migraine before I do.

    One of the first migraine symptoms I get is brain fog. This makes it really hard to identify even the most obvious symptoms.

    My partner will ask me if I need to take my abortive medication (Eletriptan), and if I don't know the answer, I have to take it. I'm usually angry for about 20 minutes about being told what to do, then the medication starts working and I'm really grateful I took it so soon.

    I count myself lucky that I've found medication that works for me. My thoughts go out to all the people still looking.
