linotypeon Detroit's carmakers to save billions in emissions rollback

It’s relevant if the drivetrain is part of your identity. People like the vroom vroom. I drive an EV but I’m not about to ban others from driving what they want.

That would be the idea of the static page. Save people time from reading an article they aren’t actually interested in.

That creates a ton of traffic to LLMs for the same summary. Why not have one person do it and post it?

This could be said about any hobby. Why should people that like to read buy physical books? Why should people that like to take photographs print on film? Etc.

It was convenience so dozens or hundreds of people didn’t have to. Seriously regret trying to be helpful here.

Your comment adds way less value than the one I generated, reviewed and posted. I refuse to be bullied by people that are anti-AI.

She didn’t commit the DUI in Canada, she did in the US. We were in the country for three days (Victoria) and didn't even have a car, so she couldn’t have recommitted the offense even if she wanted to, which she obviously wouldn’t want to.

> CP wants to close a lot of post offices, complete the phase-out of door-to-door postal service in favour of community mailboxes (which are already in use for more than half of households), and even reduce delivery frequency to less than 5 days per week.

Honestly that sounds like some good ways to reduce costs and carbon emissions. For the elderly there would need to be some considerations made. I live in the US but in large apartment buildings here there’s a couple of mailrooms for hundreds of units, I imagine it’s significantly more efficient than delivering to each unit.

You’re only hurting yourself and your friends. At least in LA we’re as pissed off about the current admin as anyone else and love it when people visit.

It’s not “Anti-Chinese”. If Australia subsidized their car sector and exported a bunch of cars at a purchase price less than the cost to make a car in the US, the complaint would be the same.
