Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•How the UK’s dependency on cars slows down the economyEnglish
2·4 days agoLet’s put the cost into perspective. I drove to London today for a day out with family and friends. 4 adults, one toddler.
I used about 1/3 tank of petrol. = £15 Parking £10 at tube station all day. Oyster cost was about £8/person = £32
£57 total.
If we had done it by public transport
£19.40/person return on train = £78 £16 travel card zones 1-6 = £64
That is off peak costs as well. If we travelled at peak time it would have been even more.
£142 total.
Almost 2.5x as expensive. Plus I get to travel in the comfort of my own vehicle, and travel time was faster in the car

One of them isn’t living in the moment

World News@lemmy.world•Trump says airspace above and surrounding Venezuela to be closed in its entiretyEnglish
103·10 days agoHow can one country declare another country’s airspace closed?
Why big mod walkouts? That makes no sense. They are literally the ones who can unban him.
We’re walking out to protest our own actions. It’s the same as when politicians join protests for change. Bro, you’re literally in the position to actually change this

News@lemmy.world•In a dramatic shift, Americans no longer see four-year college degrees as worth the costEnglish
121·10 days agoOf course it’s being seen that way.
If I were to go to my university this year, doing the same course I’d have:
£9250 x 4 = £37000 for the 4 year course
£9504 x 4 = £38016 for rental accommodation including bills (I picked a rental property that included bills for ease of calculation)
£5000 x 4 = £20000 for food (based on £100/week)
That’s £95016
And how much of my degree do I use day to day? Jack shit. Anyone starting my job technically does not need a degree. I work with a niche piece of software that is well known in it’s field but outside of that is not. No degree would ever cover this

World News@quokk.au•Eurovision plans changes to voting, security after allegations of Israeli government ‘interference’English
11·17 days agoEurovision’s main sponsor is MoroccanOil… I’ll let you guess where that company is headquartered.
Always follow the money
My first December living in the Netherlands was kind of shocking, coming into the office one day and seeing a handful of my colleagues dressed up in full blackface… turns out the office was doing their normal Sinterklaas celebration and that was my introduction to Zwarte Piet.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Don't like the 'left liberal bias' of cited and sourced Wikipedia articles? Not a problem, our lord and savior Elon is introducing Grokipedia.English
6·23 days agoFunny you say that. In Serbia, they say the noise a pig makes is “grok”. My wife burst out laughing when she found out the name of Elon’s AI.
Imagine some Saudi prince launches an AI called Oink, and then sets up Oinkepedia
I’ve had an exceptional performance pay rise, as well as a promotion pay rise in the job I started 3 years ago. My salary is now only 5k behind where it should be if it has kept up with inflation

The Shitpost Office@lemmy.dbzer0.com•The truest freedom is not existing.English
6·29 days agoI hate it so fucking much.
Get paid one day, next day back to basically nothing as all the bills go out.
That said, I do rather all the bills go out at start of the month, so I can forget about them
