I've used komoot for some time for cycling in London. It's quite good at creating routes that follow cyle ways/quit streets and the voice instructions are more frequent than Google maps. It does sometimes make some interesting route choices but overall I prefer it
According to the National Travel Survey 2021 only 3% of car trips are for business (see chart 10). The vast majority of trips are for leasure/commuting/shopping which can be done via other means.
Most people use the mode of transport most convenient for them, so the trick is to make more effecient modes of transport (i.e. not cars) the most convenient.
Most trips aren't being taken by people carrying equipment to work. The good thing about promoting alternative methods of travel is that people who really need to drive (like yourself) aren't hindered by those only driving as it's the most convenient. Driving in the Netherlands is excellent partly because they have great cycling and public transport infrastructure.
You might find this video informative from Not Just Bikes about driving in the Netherlands - https://youtu.be/d8RRE2rDw4k?t=2m58s
I think above point was that EV's aren't a cure all just because they run on electric instead of fossil fuels. They still have many of the same problems as regular cars so more should be done to get people on better modes of transport instead (e.g. trains, bikes etc).
Came across this post on Reddit - who do you think is behind it? Seems to stupid for Reddit themselves to be using chat GBT to bot their own site.

I've been watching the new series of Black Mirror on Netflix. Feeling like it's the worse season yet. Mazey Day has to be my least favourite of the whole show... I hated it
I never understood why you would even want the pre-order bonuses. Surely that would detract from unlocking things in game if they give you a bunch of stuff for free. Wasn't it one of the dead space games that have you a bunch of bonus weapons that broke progression?
Intriguing! I've never seen anything quite like it. Are they actually comfortable as wrist rests?
Recently picked up a Lily 58 - loving it so far! Thinking about getting a wrist rest, does anyone have one they've enjoyed using?
It is remarkably quick! Very efficient crash
I don't think I've had a single crash apart from when clicking on a lemmy link
Would be nice if house prices fell to match the reduced amount people can borrow now. Feels bad that houses can just get more and more unaffordable with each increase
It's a shame healthy food is often much more expensive than the crap stuff. I can buy a whole packet of custard creams for the price of one apple.
Thanks for setting up the community! Came across this lovely spot near Broadway (UK). Not quite a lawn but I think it counts
Reddit negativity is spreading :(
