Fantastic, this was exactly what I needed to get into my most ambitious project that starts tomorrow, thanks!

Shhh just let it happen.

It’s definitely a home made and personal distinction but basically for me pop-punk is reserved for the ones I don’t like haha. It has a negative side so I needed another term for the (admittedly) pop punk bands that I do like. Again you’re probably right, that’s just the way I do it internally. And I just use it to describe the sound, Millencollin for example is Swedish. Also there’s bands like bad religion that still kinda have that sound but I wouldn’t dare classify them under “pop”, I’m sure NOFX would take an issue with it too, etc.

I’ve never stopped listening to “Cali punk” so I’m good to go (I don’t care if green day is really from California or not, that’s what I call the happy poppy punk that’s not crusty enough to be called punk without a qualifier: NOFX, Offspring, Blink 182, Millencollin, etc etc).

I love that one. I’m right in thinking it’s specifically tap water, right? (As in the water provided by the council, you wouldn’t use it for Evian or whatever).

Or watched jackass.

Good eye!

When’s the last time of these sky rats swung someone into a wall though. I’d say that counts for at least 5 chips.

Yes it’s the right long term goal, but the US is nowhere near ready for strong nationalised enterprises, they would just stop getting funding and die. There is a requirement for strong, positive minded government and a shared understanding of the benefits of having nationalised societal services before it can work.

Nah not at all tbh, you can get very smooth deceleration with it and it doesn’t feel floaty or whatever, it does take a tiny adjustment to how you drive, you don’t coast anymore but rather you can finely control your deceleration by how much you lift the accelerator, it’s quite nice to be honest I always drive it in that mode (even if it’s not real one pedal).

I think some cars also turn on the hazards automatically if you really hammer the breaks.

Yeah my electric 208 is kinda like that (if I remember the video well, watched it a while ago) but since it’s Europe there actually is a regulation about how much a car can decelerate before break lights come on, so instead of making the system turn the lights on they throttle how much it can decelerate for recharge and still makes you use the break to use full regen (and eventually the actual brakes, of course). So it’s not a real “one pedal driving”.

It shows me having given a ton of downvotes I didn’t give, on comments I only read and didn’t up or down-vote.

I just mean that in normal life, how often do you really get mad enough at someone that you hang up on them? I can probably count that on one hand and I’m not exactly a youngun either. In movies it feels like every other phone call ended that way haha.

This is particularly painful for all these middle-men companies like booking.com, eBay/equivalents, Uber, etc etc. So much wasted resources that is literally only there to extract as much as they can from transactions between two other parties, really all that’s needed from these services is a functioning platform, something 3 motivated engineers could probably maintain (exaggerating for effect).

All this stuff should be either open source or nationalised.

I feel like this was more one of these movie things that don’t happen nearly as often in real life.

As a non-parisian French I’ve hated it my whole life but even I need to admit I’m recent years it’s been transforming for the better.

No such thing as too much butter.
