An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that's the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

If you're driving more than 300miles a day you're just admitting your a much larger slice of the shitty pie.

Fuck you, I drive so other people don't have to.

By being eager to gauge people's location in "the shitty pie", you're just admitting your (sic) a much large slice of the shitty pie

That just isn't true, you just said you could ride a train. You choose not to, that's a big difference.

But saying rail is significantly slower you narrow your nationality to maybe 5 major nations one happens to be significantly more represented on Lemmy. The "need" to drive safe over reaction to the guess means I'm almost certainly correct. Am I not?

Tbf to the guy you're responding to, getting the extra 2-3 days of PTO necessary to take the train may also be a contributing factor. There's a hidden work reform issue baked into this that also needs addressing.
