But you can't be on the cutting-edge of everything, and there are opportunity costs.
The interface equivalent of ten sad fireworks and a pack of sparklers in a rainy back garden probably wouldn't have the same addictive effects, though.
> 1 car in 3 on the roads in the UK is funded via PIP In 2024 there were about 34 million cars registered in the UK and Motability had a fleet of 815,000. Are you telling me that the 3.5 million PIP recipients are using…

Different words mean different things. "Tall people can reach things on high shelves." Change "tall" for any other adjective and you will see how absurd it is.
On the other hand, I think short-scale millions and billions are used far more often than the larger numbers, and the starts of words tend to be more salient than the ends, so it's useful to have them distinguished by…

What about the half of the remaining artists that are below the new median?
Of course, train drivers aren't the only rail workers, and pay isn't the only reason for strikes.

The experience of going car-free in a place designed around cars doesn't tell you much about what it would be like to live in a car-free city.
Still, if that's your worst fear, at least you must have a pretty good government.
