Lawyers should have been charged with perjury and disbarred over this.

Upvote-downvote is a great reaction to all the trolls. combined withan algorithm they can surface the good stuff and alert moderators to garbage. Algorithms are wrong in many places, but that is the implementation that is bad not the idea itself

Lemmys culture of downvoting well written things you disagree with is a problem though. So long as nothing is done about that you can't make a good algorithm. idealy you would have the guts to upvote things you disagree with, but at least we need people to stop using downvote to disagree - respond with reason if you disagree.

I miss UUCP style forums. They had threading that worked and the concept of 'i've alread read this so don't show it to me again'. Together those made it easy to see well thought out responses weeks latter.

Because like most people I make the occasional trip that is more than 50 miles. It doesn't happen often, but it happens often enough that rental cars become extremely expensive.

Gas was cheap when they were sold new. I recall paying less than $1/gallon when they were on the market, and a quick cheap shows prices were around $1/gallon for most of their life. Prices did go towards the end, but gas was pretty cheap when they were sold. Well at least in the US, Europe always had high gas taxes.

Where is the 50hp ecconomy model? I miss my a old GEO metro. All the power I needed - and cheap in all ways.
