I figured until we figure out an automatic option, a weekly thread is probably ok, especially since Lemmy does a great job at bringing threads back up to the top if they get comments.

Rules:

  • Talk about whatever's on your mind

Wow, nice. That’s a long time to be without a car in LA. What part of LA?

And agreed, although I would even argue that there isn’t really any situation where those kinds of huge trucks are practical. Definitely, some situations need a truck, but a lower pickup with a larger bed would be much more useful. Trucks these days are too high, and their beds are too small (a lot of times even smaller than their cabs), which is ridiculous.

DTLA and its surrounding neighborhoods. People always say that you can't live here without a car, but I moved here from somewhere very rural, where the nearest grocery store was ten miles down a road with no sidewalks and barbed wire right up to the edge of the asphalt. I'll happily bike 30-45 minutes across the city compared to that, haha
