True? Yes, to a point. Climate solution? No.

40 km/h outside school hours is probably fine.

The other option would be a road diet to not make the perceived speed to be slow at 30 km/h, but this is not a terrible compromise as is.

Right, right. It’s been long enough since I played guitar that I forgot that it’s actually the fingers on the non-strumming hand that takes the major punishment, not the strumming one.

Ah yeah, that’s where the complete ignorance came into play

Coming from a point of complete ignorance - couldn’t you use a guitar pick instead?

0%. We do not have a tipping culture, nor will I ever move in the direction of us having one.

EDIT: I’m not in the U.S so my answer does not apply

Summit. It’s the best

Adding a few I haven’t already seen:

• https://www.youtube.com/c/SummoningSalt - documentaries on speedrunning in various games
• https://www.youtube.com/@Steve1989MRE - reviews of military rations, spanning from very old to very new
• https://www.youtube.com/@NotJustBikes - videos on urbanism from the perspective of The Netherlands

Jenny’s last 4 hour video went more than viral, to be fair.

From what I gather from the Perplexity CEO, he is just that type of Musk-tier cringelord, so yes, probably

My god, could he have chosen a name more cringe than this? Fuck.

To add insult to injury, she cut the prices significantly, gutting the potential revenue the MTA could have gotten, for not that much benefit for the drivers who still choose to drive in.

I don’t. She’s the one who delayed the implementation of congestion pricing because she was scared that the Democrats would lose some suburban votes. Were it not for her betrayal, congestion pricing would have been live for 6 more months, and probably built some more resilience against this attack.

With a pannier rack and baskets to hang on the rack, I can carry all the groceries we need for 1-2 weeks if I so wish on my bike, no problems whatsoever.

Honestly, just never use link shorteners. QR codes have basically completely killed their use-case, and various sharing tools take care of what little QR codes do not.

Deadnaming Twitter is praxis and actively supporting trans people, given its owners hostility towards them

Then again, a fast cyclist is likely to hit those speeds on flats. And cars will still try to run me off the road even if I go that speed and the road I’m cycling on had a speed limit of 40 km/h.

In general.

The passive voice was not used here, nor was this a matter of an accident - those were examples of other cases where media covers for cars.

I think it’s perfectly possible to mention that a driver was the perpetrator without bringing in their race into the headlines. This is also how they always write these things, so I doubt this time was anything special.

It’s the wording. Commonly:

• The use of the passive voice
• Placing emphasis on the car instead of the actual perpetrator in the driver (as seen in this case)
• Using words like ‘accident’ (implies chance, no culpable party, no necessary remediations) instead of more accurate words like collision or crash

All of these help exonerate the whole system of cars and the damage they inflict.

I’d be alright with it standing as an illustrative example of how the media perpetuates vehicular violence with their choice of terminology, if you don’t mind.
