    There will always be movie theatres, just fewer and fewer of them per capita. (Like horses, canals, etc.) Technologies don't disappear, they just fade from existence.

    The prediction movie theaters are going to die is so vague. What, exactly, changed? Movie theaters made it through the invention of television, color television, cable TV, VHS, HDTV, falling tv prices.... But what is it that will kill them now? I don’t see it

    A city choked with EVs is marginally better than a city choked with internal combustion vehicles. Similar levels of vehicular slaughter, public space sacrifice, congestion & carbon footprint. But less noise & air pollution...

    This new Transport Access Manual-- from & -- is as wonky as it gets. But there is a LOT of great info here-- and it's free! Esp. recommended for those who (like me) enjoyed Alain Bertaud's Order Without Design.

    Trust in experts has increased quite substantially over the last years. • 84% of the British population trust scientists to tell the truth. This is up from 64% back in 1997. • All others listed here (except priests) are also trusted more than in the past.
