POLICE ICE ... I feel like this could be someone combined. Maybe POL(ICE)^2^
~~Superscript doesn't seem to work here :-(~~
also, wear and tear on your car
And it should be mentioned that lots of short trips are hard on cars. EVs are probably much better for this, but I would guess that most delivery drivers (who are using their own personal vehicle) aren't rolling around in EVs.
Gridlocked traffic or having to deal with parking can change the math on this such that bikes make sense.
We should be having a lot of discussions about support for services like meals on wheels,
My (admittedly limited) understanding of Meals on Wheels is that they would have a bulk load of meals that they delivery to individual homes. This would be more similar to how, for example, a package delivery service would work in contrast to an individual trip for one meal.
Properly organized services that are willing to sacrifice some flexibility can operate with vastly greater efficiency.
Not only fuel to food ratio, but also the amount of labor. If it takes someone 20 minutes to deliver your food, including their return trip), that is 1/3 of an hour of labor.
I know this sub is focused on the vehicle use and ridiculous inefficiency of this in terms of fuel, but the labor to have someone do this is what really runs up the bill. I suppose that's a good thing, because it limits demand.
"No, not like that!"
"Utopia is only a dream, make sure you never forget that"
A question that I frequently ask when presented this is "what would you personally be willing to give up?" Of course it is important to realize that some of it is systemic and not within the average person's control (e.g. car-centric infrastructure)
The problem I have with TTS is that it gets used with so much AI slop. Also the voices themselves are very uncanny valley.
As you pointed out though, it does have valid uses and improves accessibility.
I run 2 browsers as well, with about 90% of my use on Firefox
I have found that simply being willing to use multiple browsers solves a lot of problems for me
The Democratic party just doesn't fucking get it. They keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
Actually, I contend that they do get it and just aren't willing to change course.
