I was able to, and did for almost 3 months! I loved every second of it. What made me switch back recently was not having a camera. I have a few things at my job where I need to be able to take a photo. I am hoping to change that workflow so I can go back to just the watch.

And how do you propose to get produce if all the farmers move away? Saying "people should move to more dense areas" creates a whole other swath of problems to fix.

Like you said, not exactly what I was looking for but still a great read regardless. Thank you!

> We also need to significantly reduce the amount of traveling in all cars, electric or not.

I agree with the idea of this but in saying this you are forgetting about ~20% of the US populace that lives in rural areas.[1] I personally live ~1 hour from the nearest city. The area I live in has no access to high-speed internet to enable remote work, and the cost of driving to the city for a good paying job is still money ahead than taking a low paying job closer by. I also know I am not the only one of my neighbors in this boat.

This goes back to my original point, I think we have made the change too late. Sure we can implement solutions in cities with relative speed but the type of large scale changes that it would take to help areas, like where I'm at, will be too late by the time they are finished.

Thanks for the response! I will definitely dive into that.

> even though building a few sidewalks and converting surface parking lot into businesses bring even more economic activity.

I will say, I think we are seeing a bit of movement this direction. The work-from-home boom from Covid has shows that living at the office isn't the dream it used to be. People are beginning to see the benefits of local community and business as not just the economic impact but the freedom that that proximity can provide.

Does anyone have recommendations for good reading on this subject? What this means for combustion engines as a whole? I am trying to imagine where the push for clean energy will lead. I am fully on team green but I think the switch happened too late. I feel like there is a future where you have a large percent of the population (at least in the US) where EVs are too expensive to afford the monthly payment/up front payment to switch but gas prices rise to a point where they can't afford to fill their tank anymore either. People will always say "just use public transit" but most cities in the US have a barely managing system if they even have one.

I had it do this on the word "lazy". Just filled the screen with loops.

Literally saw the workshop link and closed the tab, might have to give it another read

Seeing J at the top was indeed a jump up and down moment.

There were also a lot of Tax incentives for building in this location. The company I work for is doing the electrical work and all of our materials are tax free.

I quit using it not too long after the chronological feed was removed. I initially got instagram to keep up with close friend and family but once my main feed essentially became an ad zone I quit cold turkey.

My recommendation is an audio book or podcast to fill those gaps. For me it had to be something interesting and complicated enough that I had to intentionally focus on it.

This part is talking about who is allowed to view the materials. Level 4 and O5 are the top people of the foundation and the information is only allowed to be seen by them.

I love this comment.

Something that I, as a christian, believe is often misunderstood about religion and science is that they are not opposed to one another. If you talk to many Christians today they will agree that science and religion build off of one another and support each other greatly.

I would recommend the books "God and the Astronomer" and "I don't have enough faith to be an Atheist". Both touch on this combining of science and faith, the first book more so than the latter.
