Trash Javascript programmer. Probably uses Electron.
I highly recommend it even though it's not free because it's highly refined and actively developed year round because of their pricing model.
I highly doubt that, since you have to board 20 minutes before take off, plus the time it takes to get through security, as well as getting to the airport which won't be in the city center.
The current airfare also doesn't include any sort of fee to ease the ecological impact of burning jet fuel.
Certain things like Nav menu drop downs and folding text can’t be done with native CSS and HTML.
Also, my ebike does fine for parcels/shopping, it has a rack. If it's hot I use more vehicle assist and less human power. I see cargo bikes for larger loads like children.
Ebikes may not be for everyone, but they're much better than you portray.
I love meat and regularly buy these instead of hamburgers. While shopping for vegan Thanksgiving guests I saw some patties that imitate chicken. Going to try those out soon too.
I think this is a fallacy. Why should the transportation infrastructure be built for those who don't live there? When cities are built for cars, then cars is what they get. But if they build for other modes, then those modes because much more preferable. The preference of these occasional visitors shouldn't be dictating the immense budgetary concerns of maintaining car infrastructures. There's no reason folks coming from outside the city can't park at a periphery (or even central) parking structure and then bus/walk/bike to their destination, if we take the original corollary that Eau Claire gets perfect bike infrastructure tomorrow.
I do appreciate the math you've done. Assuming it's all accurate, those are good points about density and temperature averages. However people can still walk and bike safely in that weather, extra buses can be scheduled during the winter months, and if the majority of the folks live in the city like you said, it's best to serve them with better pedestrian infrastructure due to the quality of life, safety, and money savings the population would receive.
I totally agree it can be fun with the right group, but the right group is either very open minded and comfortable with each other, or decent or better improv players.
One of these days I'll try out something other than QWERTY.
There was a short lived explosion of frontend frameworks that grognards drag up like it's a relevant problem, but serving up HTML from a server side route has always been an option.
