It seems the solution to all your problems are:
- Big trucks
- Suburban sprawl
- Privatized healthcare
- Rabid anti-communism
- Christian-fascist leaders
Or a mountain bike with suspension
Or drinking less soda
nah, bring me my christian-fascist leaders!
/s
Maybe throw a housing association in there too. You've gotta make sure your fining people for growing the wrong flowers.
My mother and former stepfather wants it, because they think it's only about making sure people mow their grass on the regular, because wasps might be nesting there.
3 of those are already set in motions.
I live in the Netherlands. Every year I see more and more American trucks on the road. The cancer is spreading.
We need a 500% tariff on US vehicles.
500% import duty is way too much.
80% is enough.
High one-time taxes are not a good idea.
Rather dilute them into 8 seperate yearly taxes.
A curb weight tax of 40% sounds reasonable. A fuel inefficiency penalty of 25% also sounds good.
At least a 15% tax on anything shorter than 1 meter being invisible from the cabin is also very warranted.
That's 3 of 8.
Additionally, whenever a truck is involved in a crash treat it disfavourably. That should drive up insurance premiums.
So with my 80/80 tax mix they'd actually pay 880% tax in the first 10 years of ownership with 3 basic taxes.

A backpack would solve this. Our bodies are suspension, so just put anything shake-sensitive in your backpack while driving home.
but 6 liters of cola? you can't fit that in a backpack
Why not?
I just backpacked home 18 cans which is about exactly 6 litres.
But I could easily also fit 3 2 l bottles or 6 1l bottles or 12 0.5 bottles.
And that still leaves like half to a third of my backpack available, depending on the shape of the containers.
Backpacks are usually around 20-30 liters in size.
Edit also tbh that looks more like 6 1.5l bottles but I'm not sure of that and I think it'll they'd fit in my backpack
1.25L actually if you look at the top of them. but that must be an exceptionally big backpack. or maybe that size is just not that common in my country for some reason
There are all imaginable backpack sizes in my country.
It's not really not the size, most backpacks really are at least 20 liters. It's the shape. But mine would take 6 1.25 litre bottles, easy. It's a large quality rucksack. I've had it for literally more than a quarter of a century. Something like 26-27 years prolly.
But I agree, 6x 1.25 l bottles in a very basic backpack might present a challenge, because it's usually not wide enough for one to go sideways on the bottom (mine is tho, for 1.25l, which is uncommon size here tho). Or just put three at the bottom and then three upside down on top of them. Even a basic backpack could do that I'm sure.
Might not close all the way properly but surely would hold them. I've had easily 24 cans in my backpack. The straps lasted for 20 years or something then one time I jumped a fence with like 30 cans and the left strap just broke. (but the fall was like 2 meters, not just a tiny fence you know) It had been kinda dying for a few years and the replacement is subpar to the material it used to be but still.
They need to be cooled anyway before being drunk, so the beverage has some time to relax
also if you spin the bottle a few times (while itβs oriented normally) all of the bubbles stuck to the side go to the top and redissolveβ¦.
learned it on βbetter call saulβ and it works amazingly.
β¦.
since the bubbles are lighter than the liquid, when you spin it centrifugal force knocks the bubbles off the wallβ¦.
Also, with those bottles, if you're prepared for them to potentially explode, you can open them carefully and just close it again if pressure leaks out quickly once the seal opens. Then let out the extra pressure in short bursts and the bubbles won't bring a bunch of liquid with them because they can't build enough momentum to lift it.

Two nuns are riding their bikes back to the convent.
One nun says to the other, βI donβt think Iβve ever come this way before.β
And the other one says, βIt's the cobblestones.β
If you shoot your finger against the side (like shooting away a cigarette bud) several times, then slowly rotate the bottle around it's axel while it's standing on a table several times, you can safely open them without them squirting all over the place. It truly works, also with shaken soda/beer cans.
What I do with these groceries is put them in a bag on my back or in my hand when cycling. The rack is for other stuff like veggies and other stuff that can handle the shaking or might get shitty when stuffed in a bag.
But you have a nice rack on your bike. Although it looks hard to take anyone on the back, unless they stand upright.

The worst part is becoming accustomed to fresh, high-quality food and espresso within 100m of every human at all times.
Also, OP, why are you having "American Breakfast"? Where's your croissant?
Where's your croissant?
In my MOUF
The deathgrip. As if that croissant owes you money or something.

Ha! I needed baguettes, got two and tossed them in the bike basket, feeling so European, until one loaf bounced out and was run over by a car, at which point I felt oh so American!

Shaking does not affect this the way you think it does. You'll be fine as long as you wait like 10-60 seconds after shaking vigorously. The liquid and gas pressure inside will reach equilibrium, and no matter how much shaking you do, it won't degas further.
Also, keep in mind that it's mostly temperature and surface area that causes soda to degas (fall out of solution).
Fun fact: this is why paper straws are inferior to plastic straws for drinking soda, because paper is insanely more porous than plastic, and causes rapid degassing of the soda inside of the straw, rather than in your mouth, throat, and stomach. (There are other reasons, too, but this one is often not considered by most people)
that's a first world problem if i've ever seen one
This is why you need aomwthing with tank treads. Like a tank for example
Stupid part is that I can't ride a tank around here with all the tank-hostile architecture π They got these triangular tank obstacles scattered around everywhere, it's so inconvenient!
