I find np a worse message when taken literally. If I even have to write an email, it's at least a little problem. yw allows for a problem you solved for somebody without suggesting that it doesn't come at the expense of other priorities. Both will be interpreted the same way by almost everyone, of course.

You're welcome to ask things like that of me. This is within the realm of stuff I will gladly do for you.

"Locally made" makes it sounds like they're bringing them home from the farmer's market in a canvas bag.

Feel free to spit on the current state of transit; it's shit in so many places and there's no pretending otherwise. It's important to stress that the transit will be unrecognizable from current state if properly funded. If people think I'm talking about them ditching their cars, getting on the existing transit and watching their trip times go up 292%, they'd be right to dismiss me.

Fine, two. Two-lane, no parking roads are still only a third of the size of four-lane roads with parking on both sides.

What happens more often where you live -- ambulances reach capacity or somebody gets run over and dies?

The roads are huge because of multiple lanes in two directions with street parking on the side. An ambulance only needs one lane.

Nobody's proposing banning ambulances. You should be able to take the metro to the club. You should also be able to take it outside of the city and you can figure out the remainder of your journey from there. Reclaiming land from cars would also allow more space within cities for parks and such and decrease the need to get out of the city to escape dickheads leaning on their horns.

Yeah, I'm not running goatse linux.

It seems like a company that would require employee-purchased headsets would already require employee-purchased laptops. Do you know of any? Honest question; I don't, but my bubble is pretty small.

When you play Mario Kart, do you assiduously avoid overtaking the leader of the pack?

Sorry, what's unserious about a car ban in places with adequate alternative infrastructure? Why can't pedestrians who don't want to be honked and nearly (if lucky) run over be able to take refuge somewhere, even if it's only one city per country, with drivers retaining control over literally everywhere else?
