  • You have many better shells today, like zsh and fish.

    Unless you need to concert shell scripts, specially zsh will just work. Fish has some of its own syntax for environment variables, and requires quotes sometimes in commands, so its a bit different but easy to learn.

    I use fish myself because i really like the way it does auto complete out of the box. You can get that with zsh as well but it requires more config.






  • It has tons of buses and trains, but without a vehicle, I cant carry any stuff. I cant shop for a full week with 4 big bags of food and then carry that on the train or the bus.

    I cant buy 10 liters of paint and carry it on the bus or train and walk home with it. In theory i could, but its a horrible experience.

    I think living without a car works if you are living in a apartment in the city and you shop at the same nearby food shop every day. But you have no options.

    Even buying something at Ikea would require a lot of planning. To get there with some bus, to pay for transport home, to be home when they come etc etc.

    These are just examples but they add up. Life with a car is freedom.



  • Yeah because it lets me take care of things for the household. Go shop for food, get stuff for renovating house, go to work and home on my own…

    I used to just take the bus everywhere but I didnt get anything done. I bought food in the same small overpriced food shop near my apartment, I didnt renovate anything since it was hard to get all the materials home, and I was crowding with others every day at public transport, often waiting for late buses or freezing.

    The car has been a massive life upgrade. If you are reading this as someone who lives in an apartment and are happy with that kind of life, thats great. For me it would be a nightmare.
