So 66% are driving.
No, 66% having a drivers license, doesn't mean 66% drive. And even those who usually do, can't drive all the time. There are a lot of reasons why you might be unable to drive, even if you have a license: Being drunk, being sick/injured, being to old to safely drive, being to tired to safely drive, being to broke to afford the gas...
And even of those who do drive, a large percentage might not drive because they want to, but because they are forced to drive due to a lack of walking, cycling and public transportation infrastructure.
This isn't Europe where everything is within walking distance of you, and it's infeasible to do such a thing here in America.
It doesn't matter how big your country is. Nobody in their right mind drives from New York to San Francisco on a daily basis, not even from New York to Philadelphia.
The vast majority of commutes are from your home to the local school, the local supermarket or the local workplace within the same town. A distance that could easily be traveled by bike if there was any bike infrastructure even in today's US cities. Granted, the distance you have to travel to get to these places is usually bigger in the US, than in Europe, but that's only because you don't have mixed neighbourhoods. And you don't have mixed neighbourhoods because every little convenience store needs to be surrounded by 200 acres of parking because you can only get there by car.
Sure, a bike can use the same roads cars are using. Have fun with that. 
Btw. a train track can be used by cargo trains, passenger trains, trains carrying cars, trains carrying bikes, etc. If you build decent bike lanes, they can even be used by ambulances to skip traffic.
It doesn't taste like piss. Piss is salty and bitter, or sweet and mild depending on what you drank and ate earlier and depending on your health status. American beer always tastes like nothing. 🥇🚿
I used Astra Superior blades, but you made me look up where they're from and it seems they come from Russia 😞
There is also Mühle from Germany but I don't know if they're good. Also, they are more than twice as expensive (26ct instead of ~10ct).
Good that I still have 80 blades here so I don't have to worry for another year or two.
But does it have what plants crave?!
Tell me you've never drunken piss, without saying that you've never drunken piss. Piss tastes heavenly, compared to Red Bull.
SuSE was a blessing for me in the 1990s when you couldn't just download huge amount of data over the Internet. But I could walk into my local computer store and buy a 8 CD package with two big handbooks for 70 Deutschmarks.
Long story short: Without SuSE I might not be a software developer today, so I'm thankful even though I prefer other distros today. 🦎
Bis zur Abschaffung der Wehrpflicht 2011 hatte man ja die Möglichkeit seinen Ersatzdienst bei der Feuerwehr zu leisten. Von den paar Leuten die damals deswegen zu uns in die Wehr gekommen sind ist keiner länger geblieben als die verpflichtenden 6 Jahre. Und auch währenddessen waren das jetzt nicht unbedingt die Leistungsträger, sondern die die gerade das Minimum gemacht haben was nötig war um nicht rauszufliegen.
Also langfristig motivierte Kameraden gewinnt man dadurch nicht. Das ist eher sinnvoll um die Leute die sich eh freiwillig zur Feuerwehr melden nicht auch noch zusätzlich zum Bund zu schicken.
Andersrum macht es halt auch keinen Sinn sich für 6 Jahre Feuerwehr zu verpflichten, wenn man da keinen Bock drauf hat. Da gab es schon Zivildienststellen wo man seine 6 Monate sehr viel entspannter absitzen konnte und da hat man dann wenigstens auch noch ein kleines Taschengeld bekommen.
