Hopefully using this for transcontinent flight will be the one use. Since we should be able to build electric high speed rail everywhere that we travel over land.

 

I would be stoked to get to join this trip as a kid.

Also the rooms are gonna be $300/night which is insane by my standards but I guess makes sense for a luxury hotel.

 

Only bummer is they won't have all-vegan restaurants.

That is absolutely amazing. And I think they said they've been using it for 10 years already!!! That is just the coolest thing ever. Can't wait to finish the whole video. I love Kirsten Dirksen.

Oh yeah, that's a bit too intense for me. I'm just trying to get the word out wherever I can lol.

Not sure exactly what the lemmy.world thing means, but yes this was me and my partner! Quebec was great!

I definitely preferred Montreal to New Orleans. Felt far more European (like having a decent Metro).

lol, it's more a statement about us (and I'd guess the average US resident) than about them.

I'm planning to fly transcontinental once every 8 years for the rest of my life, but I'm being pretty strict with myself for anything shorter than that and going train or bus. For me it's not exactly about the personal impact as much as doing it to make it easier for others in the future to do better. So every time I "suffer" a little because I take an extra day to travel by train/bus, I just think about how my doing it makes it more likely that train service with bikes will get easier for the next person to do the same thing. (Also I live in the US so most routes are much much harder than pretty much anywhere in Europe from what I hear.)

That seemed like a pretty valuable feature on reddit, and it seems even more valuable given that there can multiple communities with the same name on different servers.

So is it possible to crosspost?

 

But then I remember I didn't take their children away, hook them up to a machine to extract food from them, or kill them. And that makes me feel like making fun of carnists is not so bad.
