Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

I’m honestly pretty excited about this oat milk powder from Overherd. Just add water. Oat milk is more sustainable than cow’s milk, but how do you make it more sustainable? By having less packaging and less transport since it’s mostly water. It’s the same logic behind home sparkling water makers.
Two items on a counter. On the left is a tall, clear shaker bottle with a black lid and the word "OVERHERD" printed vertically in black lettering. On the right stands a light pink, sealed pouch of OVERHERD brand "Oat Drink Powder," which is labeled below the main text as "gf | fortified | vegan." The front of the pouch also features a black-and-white line drawing of an oat milk carton and indicates at the bottom that the 400g package makes 4 litres.

I've heard that - they're built high and are very prone to flipping. Same with the popular double cab pick ups which are also harder to get in and out of, harder to load and any cargo is not covered. To top it off they're gas guzzlers that cost a fortune to fill. How could so many be so duped?

It's truly terrifying how people behave behind the wheel. I feel rage rise up in myself when I see other drivers and their noisy, attention-seeking, outrageous and bullying behaviour. I do believe the big pickup trucks and giant SUVs that dominate our roadways have made this much worse. Scary times.

This is cool — Ever heard of a grätzloase? It means “neighbourhood oasis”– a miniature park replacing a parking space, aka parklets. With the blessing of city hall, more than 100 of them have sprung up across Vienna since 2015. And in theory, anyone in Vienna can build one.
