I think you might be right. But there are pbbly still some of those lighter pickups that can be driven by a B licence, which is unfortunate. I found the vehicle chart on Wikipedia quite helpful https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truck_classification

P.S. also crazy that so many US vehicles exceed that weight limit. Heavy and big cars are generally bad for everyone.

Thanks for replying, are you implying that they can not be driven with a standard B license? I could believe it but I thought that B encompassed quite a lot of vehicles/mass/sizes

Interesting, may I ask how you know?

Thanks for taking the time to respond, but that sounds genuinely aweful. I've had these treats for my cat as well, but I didn't realize that they could be that addictive.

Can you elaborate?

Right and we also use lemmy, but we still weigh and judge what we read here or at least we should. And we should do the same for Wikipedia, even though I would argue that Wikipedia has higher epistemic standards than Lemmy. The point being, the openness of these platforms is a quality on its own. Wikipedia isn't perfect, but it is far from terrible.

It's true that it is not generally accepted for writing a paper or essay, but that does not mean that the information is completely unreliable. While I'm sure that Wikipedia is not perfect with regards to truth, it is more accessible, democratized and readable than many primary sources or peer reviewed articles. Those properties have a lot of value by themselves. Would you not agree?

Pardom me if I am wrong but wouldn't you still get borders in the form of economic areas that have specific needs. Which would then result in area specific culture and governance, eventually just resulting in borders again at an eventual conflict with the neigbouring zone? I know that I am making some jumps here, but that is sort of what human history feels like.

P.S.

All for getting rid of the oligarchy btw

Do you think that that dissolving borders is really possible? On a utopian level I want to believe, but sometimes I feel like mutual dependence might be the best we got.

Canal bridges that open to let ships through for some reason? I often see tourist making pictures of that.

I might misunderstand, but isn't that just a format? How do you manage and organize with Bibtex like in Zotero?
