I’m 187cm (like 6’2 or something) and I have this issue. Anything that’s not a 4 seater on buses or regional trains will lead to my knees pressing into the seat in front if I don’t sit perfectly upright (which isn’t a great option for a 90+ minute train ride). Some bus seats have so little leg space that I flat out cannot fit without sitting diagonally (they’re actually worse than the last cheap airline I flew with somehow, tho tbf that was like 8 years ago and might be worse now).

When these buses come once every 15 minutes at peak time, it’s not even really a capacity issue, frequency could absolutely be higher if desired. Though 4 seaters existing means it’s generally fine, and my bus rides generally aren’t long enough that I can’t just stand instead. Designing a bus with that little leg room without 4 seaters would be a real issue though. Accomodating everyone and efficiency for the average person will always be a balance to strike, but everyone for whom it’s feasibly possible should at least have some option to be comfortable on public transport.

I fucking hate being tall.

AI does not have a consistent definition. It wouldn’t be wrong to call an automatic thermostat that adjusts the heating based on measured temperature “AI”. It’s basically down to how you define intelligence, then it’s just a computer doing that.

Might be because of local accent as well, I don’t speak a word of spanish but I’d be very surprised if there’s no difference between spanish in spain and spanish in colombia

Yeah, what people forget is that even average americans (and central/northern europeans and some other plaves) are quite wealthy from a global perspective. Many people on lemmy, self included, are in that global 10%.

And many of those emissions aren’t something you can just avoid either, they often come as a result of being a user of local infrastructure etc.

Don’t stay in my ass.

Am I missing something here (after quickly looking up virginias climate) or is this no different from the average central europe experience these days? Not that I don’t agree that these temps indoors fucking suck (or that just about everything DOGE does is horrible), it just really doesn’t seem like anywhere close to the worst results of pausing affordable housing. Complaining on a really priviliged level if you will.
