Openstreetmap has cycling infrastructure. I bet there is info on quality of bike lanes. I think what most people end up doing is checking maps that show popularity like strava because if lots of people are cycling on a route, it’s probably not too sketchy. That does skew too much towards fitness cycling, though.
You can see the separate poles
It can be relatively cheap if you dont care about having an extreme range. I know someone who turned an old beetle electric, and it just runs off of ~10 lead acid batteries if i remember right. Not a huge range, but enough to go to work and get groceries.
They wouldnt be too smart if they were, because it’s not a meat allergy, it’s an alpha -galactose allergy, which is a sugar present in most mammals that people eat, but also many other foods, like carageenan, which is in many vegan products and medicine.
If you are speaking English the correct pronunciation is different than if you are speaking French.
Similar to Paris, information, service, raisin, journal, and many, many other words that are used in both languages.
The English word croissant is pronounced something like krə-sänt, though I’m sure there’s plenty of regional variation.
It’s actually pretty easy to tell that its the cars, not the phones. The fatality statistics all record the vehicle involved, so you can use the rates with smaller/older cars to adjust for any changes in infrastructure or phone usage.
Yeah, sales taxes is generally bad because it is regressive. The fact that it can capture revenue from non-locals is one of the main benefits.
The fake leather is polyurethane, which goes through hydrolysis. Basically humidity destroys the bonds.
That’s not a recycling symbol, it’s a “resin identification code”. They just make it looks like the recycling symbol to trick people.
You’re making a good point, but I think it’s also equally pretty weird to just dismiss a facet of someone’s humanity. It feels a little bit to me like the whole “I just pretend everyone is white”-approach.
I think there’s too much nuance to make a hard rule on it. I’ve worked with someone who’s go-to way to describe people was always ethnicity/perceived nationality-based to a weird extent, never with anything negative, but it was still jarring. Like he would say “the Bosnian guy who works with Steve” instead of "the guy who works with Steve ".
I would also find it strange if someone treated someone’s race like it was a bad word. Like, I think it would be fairly natural to say “what’s the name of the black guy who works in the shop?”, and much less natural to say “whats the name of the person in the shop who often wears black pants, and said they were a fan of that new TV show, and they said they were from Oklahoma, and …”
“East Asian” also feels needlessly specific
This might be a regionalism. In the US, someone from India wouldnt be called Asian (even though India is obviously in Asia), but (in my understanding) in UK English, “Asian” will be used for both south Asian as well as east Asian folks, so it’s probably more normal there.
I think it just comes down to which people groups migrated in the largest numbers to which place first.
The idea that we could accidentally create a superintelligence is a psy-op by the companies looking to boost their stocks.
During peak pollen season, there are a few things that really help me. One is rinsing my face after I’ve been outside for a bit, particularly if I’ve been sweaty and/or moving quickly (like running or biking).
The other has been having an air purifier in my bedroom.
In addition, Florida traditionally grows juicing oranges, while California focused on eating oranges.
He was a Nazi. He joined the SS way before the war, and contrary to popular belief Nazis wouldnt execute people for failing to commit atrocities. Anyone who didn’t want to assist in atrocities would just be looked over for promotions. He wanted to build rockets, and being a nazi and using slave labor let him do that.
I’m just going to spam this fact in this thread, but there is no evidence that bartering has ever been a stepping stone to a currency-based economy in any culture. Bartering only arises in cultures that are accustomed to money, but run into issues with currency supply (deflation, hyperinflation, etc).
So no cultures have moved away from bartering to currency, they’ve moved back to currency.

It sounds like your problems aren’t with EVs. It sounds like your problems are with any modern car.
Ah, that all makes a lot of sense. Yeah, I can see this being really useful once apps have handled all the ways people might want to shorthand things.
I have slept in one of those children’s tents before. I was going backpacking, and a friend offered me his “backpacking tent” that was much lighter than mine.
It turns out it was lighter because it was a children’s tent that was about 80% the length of my body, so I had to sleep with my knees up. We got snowed on, and luckily it held up.
