Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

And since then - We have found ways to make all travel worse for comfort, more expensive, and more necessary.

more necessary

I haven’t had a commute in over a decade

I think they're referring to how vehicle-centric planning for cities is more common (as opposed to walking or human-powered locomotion, like biking or skating)

That’s mainly the US though. Here in the Netherlands they are planning cities with the intent to discourage car use as much as possible.

Also Canada where the majority of experience comes from. If I could see some my taxes going towards a Euro-style infra for moving people and things I would be a much happier person overall.

Move to Europe and you will get that change immediately

But it’s also become less necessary as we have much improved telecommunications. I regularly work with people halfway around the world from my house.
