@thomasfuchs one bright side might be how this could start to build a distaste for cars in the USA? Or at least more fertile ground for seeds of better urbanism to take root?

Reminder in ten years from now that the bankruptcy of companies like Volkswagen and Ford (and why we all drive Chinese cars now) will have been fully the fault of short-term gains oriented greedy CEOs and the politicians that accepted bribes from them -
Susan Collins is a piece of shit.@DemocracyMattersALot the law, in its magestic equality, allows rich and poor alike to bribe politicians

Listen to full albums, too.@jzb our family got a small sauna before this winter and this has been one of the unexpected bonuses of it for me. It came with Bluetooth speaker system, so it is like a little cozy cabin to listen to an album. Beside album length often a good amount of for a suana session, it sends a signal that you're doing something - so I'm less likely to be interrupted because it doesn't look like I'm just sitting around

Mastodon, you are a influence...@MsHearthWitch @hermannus e-bike is nice for both heat and cold fwiw.
Heat feels more obvious, maybe, just don't need to work so hard, so tend to sweat less, but still get the benefit of the breeze.
For cold, not having to think about what happens if you bundle up too much but then have to work hard and get sweaty is nice actually. Just dress warm is far simpler than having to have warm but breathable, or sheddable layers or whatever.

There is no better way to insulate yourself from global oil & gas price volatility than to invest in technologies that generate useful heat & power without any oil & gas input.@SeanCasten I don't mean to say that gas prices don't affect me at all, they probably do, or will, indirectly - my food isn't getting to the grocery story by electric train, sadly - but I definitely don't need to go buy gas to get around town, or to stay warm, so yeah, this feels especially true to me.
