I mean every American is expected to know the layout of a specific city.
My point is that people in the US are kind of expected to understand the layout of a city that they may never have been to or maybe only visited as a tourist.
It’s only the “local map” for like 8 million of us.
Yeah, but again, try running on a platform of “everything you enjoy will need to be different.”
Oh sure. I agree with that. Obviously many people have limited options.
I just think think it’s a monumentally bigger ask no matter where the change has to be made (policy or individual choice).
Like our best solution for transportation (in the US at least) is to just keep making larger free ways. Even gas powered buses running on decades old technology could make a significant impact on the climate crisis, but people either don’t want to ride them or cities don’t want to build them.
Any way, I’m just frustrated with the attitude that we’re going to technology our way out of this hole without needing to change or sacrifice anything (like we pulled off with ozone).
When it comes to energy use, there’s such a thing induced demand. If it’s cheaper, people will use it more. Hell, look at how much energy it takes to use AI to write an email.
There’s no induced demand with refrigerants.
Yeah but consumers already have choices when it comes to fossil fuels and they’re sticking with fossil fuels.
Eh. The solution to the ozone layer was to replace refrigerant A with refrigerant B. A 1:1 swap that required very little effort from anybody.
Getting off fossil fuels more or less mandates an entire global paradigm shift in how we do basically everything. The entire global economy of the past 200 years has been built off an unsustainable energy source.
Sure, we can replace gas with batteries, but every step of the way is going to require small changes in how people do things, and they’re going to be very resistant to that.
Stares are 1100 DVDs on the wall 👀

That’s a good deal. I was looking at eBay and Tindie where even kits were $150-$200 if they were in stock at all.
That’s a great link. Also looks like the cheapest option for what I’m trying to do, so I might just buy it from there.
It’s a bummer that the Sanni reader parts are so expensive despite the design being open source.
Call it a hobby. Having the data from the physical cart brings me joy. Also, I’m looking to rebuild my collection from childhood for when the Analogue3D finally comes out.
Nah. They’re bootleg apparently. Returning them.
The only one I tried was AwakeningDX. It plays with a thick border, and saves don’t persist when you remove the cart. So sending the lot back.
Yeah. Analogue has a “hack” that lets you play ROMs off SD.
Just thought I’d try to do it “legit.”
Whelp kicked off an eBay return. Thanks all for the advice. $60 for 5 original games was definitely too good to be true.
So admittedly I bought all of these off eBay having done zero research. They’re all bootleg? If so, the physical quality is very good, but it could explain why Link’s Awakening won’t keep a save.
lol. Analogue also supports like 128 save states per cart, so it’lol be moot in two days
Heh feeling a bit silly for hitting the gas on a GBA Zelda lot on eBay when the Analogue can play GBC games natively. Did zero research.
The experience is arguably worse since there’s a fixed border around the GBC while Analogue can play GBC natively. Oh well.
I wonder what the azeotrope for magically created alcohol is.
