Less safe? What features do you need that, say, a 2015 model can’t have?

An ICE that is still on the go is more environmentally friendly than manufacturing an EV from new… A new EV versus a new ICE, yeah fair enough. But replacing a perfectly functional ICE vehicle with a new EV for environmental reasons is just marketing, consumerism, and trend following.

To stop bullshit spying of every part of a vehicle, to stop bullshit waste of perfectly functional vehicles, buy used.

Obviously, fuck cars, use public transport if you can, but that’s unfeasible for most, so buy used!

Especially if you can get your hands on something like a 1.0l with a giant turbo strapped to the side. They’re pretty common in Europe, I don’t know about America.

Then don’t buy anything.

If you want to stop shit behaviour you need to provide consequences.

Buy a used car instead, there’s plenty of them.

When the new car market falls apart these manufacturers will change their ways.

But because people are unwilling to part with even the tiniest bit of convenience, prestige, whatever the fuck it is, I wish I knew, then the bad behaviour is encouraged and then you’re left in a situation where the market sees there’s no consequences for adding this shit to their products and they all do it.

Then everybody suffers.

A giant death ray? A military application?

13. Make a list of necessary gear before your trip, then check it off the list as you pack. This helps ensure you don’t forget anything. You can even categorise the list, so you can easily see what kit is in which pockets/dry bags.
14. Dry bags are incredibly useful if you hike in wet weather or ford rivers. Different coloured bags can help with categorisation, for example, you know the yellow bag is fresh clothes, the green bag is camp kit, the blue bag is water filter and chlorine tablets, the red bag is electronics, etc. This makes finding stuff a piece of piss and saves rummaging.

That’s pretty rad. Whatcha planning on planting?

Until you’ve been doing it for a few years, and it’s winter, and you only have 6 hours of daylight per day, and you see 0 of them.

Fuiam Catha by Oi Polloi from 1999.

Despite the Gaelic name, only one song is in Gaelic. The rest is in English.

Pro-environmentalism, anti-fascist, Scottish anarcho-punk.

Fuiam Catha means Sound of Battle.

I don’t know what your experience with gardening is, so I might be preaching to the choir here. But if it helps, No-Dig Gardening is a method that lets nature do a lot of the hard work for you.
