Thank you! I've advocated the koppen climate classifications for years into a void, but I'd never heard of trewartha!

followthemoney.org allows those living in the US to track who is funding their legislators, committees, and individual pieces of legislation. Just in case you want to verify this claim for yourself.

When pope francis stepped up, therewas a petition to allow married men to be priests. As far as I can tell it didn't go anywhere. But at least it's been brought up officially.

More likely is a background/credit check service that runs statistical analysis on genetic factors that correlate with late payments or property damage as part of their renter screening service.

It's an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel. You can get one from any hardware store.

This drives me crazy with ddg. When it happens I use searx instead.

fuck cars, rural edition (lemmy.basedcount.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by kingludd@lemmy.basedcount.com to c/fuck_cars@lemmy.ml
 

So suppose we don't like cars and want to not need them. What are the transportation alternatives for rural areas? Are there viable options?

Edit:

Thank you all for interesting comments. I should certainly have been more specific-- obviously the term "rural" means different things to different people. Most of you assumed commuting; I should have specified that I meant more for hauling bulk groceries, animal feed, hay bales, etc. For that application I really see no alternative to cars, unfortunately. Maybe horse and buggy in a town or village scenrio.

For posterity and any country dwellers who try to ditch cars in the future, here are the suggestions:

Train infrastructure, and busses where trains aren't possible

Park and rides, hopefully with associated bike infrastructure

No real alternative and/or not really a problem at this scale

Bikes, ebikes, dirtbikes

Horse and buggy

Ride share and carpooling

Don't live in the country

Walkable towns and villages

Our greatgrandparents and the amish did it

A lot of you gave similar suggestions, so I won't copy/paste answers, but just respond to a few comments individually.
