Get yourself a Brother brand laser printer. Best damn printer I've ever used. Every device auto connects as long as it's on the wifi and it's never failed to print in the thousands of sheets I've ran through it, with and without the software package they offer. Basic drivers are good enough for 90% of what I've needed

My problem is that it's not that fucking useful. I got the Pixel 9 specifically because of its advertised AI chip for the assistant and I swear it's just gotten worse since the Pixel 7. I used to be able to ask Google anything through the assistant, and now 90% of my questions are answered with "can't find the information."

They also advertised (or at least heavily alluded to) the use of the AI chip when you are in low network areas but it works just as good outside of 4g+ coverage as it ever did without the stupid chip.

Whats the point of adding AI branded nonsense if there's no practical use for it. And that doesn't even start to cover the issues with AI's reliability as a source of information. Garbage in = garbage out.

I'm guessing you're somewhere between 12 and 15. It's a weird in-between age that everyone kinda accepts as crappy later in life. Sounds like you are frustrated with your situation and your point of view is valid, but might not have all the information.

There are so many different things to occupy your time with. You've got creative pursuits like graphic design, painting, sculpting, and intellectual pursuits like learning/studying or playing games like chess.

This, like most frustrations with growing up, will pass in time. Find something you enjoy doing for the sake of doing it and invest your time there. Hobbies are cool.

Makes sense to me, the last time I did a long bike ride was over a decade ago. With my lack of cardio even a handful of miles sounds daunting.

That's a completely valid point, with less cars there would be a lot more space with the lesser need of parking lots

RIP in peace Limbaugh. If I ever hear the name again it will have been too soon.

This graphic does not need pedestrians or bikes. They aren't competitive with vehicles of any kind when you start talking about multimile distances.

A more realistic simulation would be including the loading time for each vehicle type (car/bus/train) for a 5, 10, and 20 mile distance. That way you see how these vehicles are actually used rather than a shitty first past the post "race". Removing the loading/unloading times of each vehicle wildly skews it in mass transport's favor.

It would also be interesting to include usage costs associated with each mile range. I figure a bus pass for a 20 mile trip is a lot cheaper than loan payments, gas, and maintenance for a single passenger car ride.

Wow! That was some hang time
