I ride a bike to work every day. I'm never sweaty. The infrastructure to cycle exists so I won't get run over by cars.

The measurement for temperatures you experience really does not matter outside of what you're used to, do you think non-Americans get confused about how cold 6°C or 23°C is?

That would be a much better comparison if it was artificial intelligence, but these are just reinforcement learning models. They do not get inspired.

I'm so happy this is becoming more mainstream. Huge props to people like NotJustBikes for such effective propagandizing.

100%. If you are a car wanting to pass a bike and there is an oncoming car, you wait behind the bike for the other car to pass before overtaking.

This road is also probably super rural and does not have enough traffic for this to become an issue. Overtaking and oncoming traffic is not a constant given how sparse the traffic is.

I wish there was a way to support the production, actors, writers, vfx artists, animators, etc. of good shows adequately while getting the piracy experience. This system really just fucking sucks. Even if you pay exorbitant amounts to streaming services, the people that made the art get jack shit.

What makes you think vigilantilism is a problem with the extreme left?

Just as an example off the top of my head, the murder of Ahmaud Arbery was done by right-wing looneys and defended by the far-right as morally good vigilantilism, leading to the repeal of Georgia's citizens arrest laws (i.e., their laws for legal vigilantilism).

The employees might not have money for a car since they get paid a shit wage.. which means having to walk through the car infrastructure.

Just a small note, universal healthcare isn't an EU thing and not really adopted properly across the EU's constituent countries

Why not have a state-run instance on an open platform? It's better than relying on a corporation's platform. The government is 'the people' more than corporations are.

Yeah it lags behind because Chromium is developed by Google, which is the 4th biggest company in the world. And Safari is obviously from Apple which is the largest company in the world. I don't think the fact that Mozilla lags behind should upset anyone. The fact they can compete at all is impressive I think.
