  • There are a number of things that amaze me in this group. Like you all take it for granted that everyone is capable to ride a bike from here to sunset, and that the same bike is sufficient to haul whatever it is to be hauled. This is the narrowminded worldview of young, single city-dwellers that can reach all necessary places easily by public transport or bike or even foot within a few minutes.

    I've lived in the country where there was (and probably still is) "the morning bus" and "the evening bus", and the next city was 30+km away. And you are really telling those people not to use cars?

  • As for driving from the countryside into urban areas, you can have ‘Park and ride’ schemes

    Which only works as long as the P&R placed don't just alter between "full" and "closed". Another common fallacy is to put them so far out of town that the only line to the city center and more central traffic hubs is a tram that has 20+ stops between P&R and Main Station.

  • I'm just surprised at the sheer stupidity of those people. There have been pictures on the net, showing the festival area completely submerged just a few days before the start. Yet, they still moved there.

    At that point, when they noticed that the mud was knee deep, they could have left. They decided to stay.

    Now there is an emergency involving 70k idiots who put themselves wilfully in a dangerous place without thinking.

  • It is for you and me, but imagine a new user. One who tries Linux for the first time. This user will be lost. When he or she needs to google "which software on Ubuntu to open files of type .bla" the Nth time, I can see them throwing up their hands in frustration.

    And, as a long term consequence, ratings of Linux distributions saying "Unbuntu - no longer recommended for new users".
