Yeah that’s kind of ridiculous.
But if we’re being honest, most Americans don’t even have access to a corner store.
My newest grocery store is a 2 mile bike ride away. It’s not awful, but it’s also not that great. And my friends in apartments I’ve visited are even worse. I am at least lucky that the main road I have has a multi-use path that makes it tolerable.
In many places in the us, apartments are built in such a way where they come with all the negatives, but also without many of the upsides that apartments should have.
I know several people who live in apartments, but there still isn’t anywhere to walk to anyways!
Sure you might be able to, but if it requires crossing 80m of asphalt just to cross a street no one is going to do it.
by definition, half of people pay less than the average.
I hate to be nitpicky, but that’s not what the average is. In averages a small population of people who spend way more can bring averages above the median (which is the split between halves of the population).
For cars in particular I prefer using medians as they are much more likely to be aligned to what most people experience.
Averages can mess this with this kind of statistics, where small group of people can bring up the average cost significantly.
Gas is also expensive, my wife spends about $130 a month a gas alone. They are also likely factoring in all costs too, including personal property taxes (which where I live gets much more costly if the vehicle is worth over 20k), and all maintenance. So things like tire changes, replacement batteries, oil changes, and everything else, averaged over the lifetime of the car.
You won’t see most of these with an electric car at nearly the same cost. Electric cars see much lower operating costs, but only if you can afford it, and can charge it cheaply. Many people I know can’t as they live in apartments and would have no way to charge an electric car.
For us personally, looking at buying a new electric over my wife’s paid off car, increases in personal property taxes and insurance negate much if the financial savings of having a lower operating expenses. Combined with a high initial cost of the vehicles it doesn’t save anything financially.
If 0/0 < 0 would error?
If 0 < 0 evaluates false
That makes it even worse???
Every user (remote or local) has an “attitude” which is calculated as follows: `(upvotes cast - downvotes cast) / (upvotes + downvotes)`. If your “attitude” is < 0.0 you can’t downvote.
This pains me because it is functionally equivalent to
If downvotes cast < upvotes cast
Yes, but the smaller the ship, the worse the Coriolis force will be. Imagine a 10m corridor with opposing gravity on each end, and no gravity in the middle. Travelling across would be extremely disorienting.
