    There are no solutions that involve personal car ownership. Appealing to entitlment just makes it worse, will it be inconvenient? Yes, but the only other option is the collapse of civilisation.

    Here's the IPCC https://mass.streetsblog.org/2022/04/22/international-climate-report-demands-systemic-changes-to-transportation-and-urban-planning/

    but also makes clear that simply replacing gasoline with batteries won't be enough: cities must also dramatically curtail the use of automobiles and avoid "locking in" future emissions with more car-dependent infrastructure.

    Late to the party but I had a friend who was an expert welder spend some time teaching me to stick weld from a welder that I'd purchased. My welds look like streaks of seagull shit. I know the welder wasn't at fault becase his welds on the same welder looked immaculate haha practice practice he told me.

    Alas my welder was destroyed in 2020 in my shed when we had a bush fire come through and took the shed out.

    I use Organic Maps these days but just fired Osmand up to test and it was near instantaneous and located me when it opened. Samsung S22u

    I havent done anything to setting etc that I am aware, it has been on my phones for a long time (and came across from my previous Samsung Note 9) so I may have done something back in the day.
