I remember being kinda excited for the tv-series, since Peter Lustig would dub the inventor in the German version (I am sure that was part of the advertisements). Peter was already famous for his roles in educational science programs for children, so having those shows in animated form with cute mammoths couldn't possibly fail.

I think I only ever watched the episode on water pressure. Usual problem of it only being on Tv while I was at school.

...well would you look at that, not only did I watch at least 2 episodes, but I also learn that the episodes about gravity and blimps is called "the far side".

How can they even get the source wrong so many times? In the pictures and Articles it says "Photo: Youtube/Maxime Darache" but the Channel is "Maxime Derache"

Isn't that exactly what he says? Promote bike usage and people will buy E-bikes when they need it?

I know that, what made you think I forgot?

It's just not fun to me, yet online people describe Mario 3 as "the best 2d Mario" and "one I could always come back to". This has nothing to do with the NES' limitations, it's a difference in taste.

When a drivers license is taken or suspended, especially for speeding in cities, give an easy option to directly... lease(?)^1^ an e-bike. And then suspend licenses for a lot more of the dangerous behaviors we currently just accept.

A relative got her license suspended for a month for speeding, and then simply did not go anywhere. Having an exciting new mode of transport might have just been what she needed, the supermarket is just 2km away.

1: The state can hammer out the details, obviously we don't want to gift them it or it becomes a reward for speeding, and selling them it means they could just resell it afterwards when the goal is that they keep and use it. Maybe like a 5 year ban on reselling it, only one per household. Also, probably keep the model generic and discreet so no shame is cast when just trying to buy groceries.

My first Mario Game was Super Mario World, as such I don't understand why Mario 1 and 3 are so beloved. Groundbreaking they might be, fun they are not.

Any time I got the Mario All Stars Cartridge out and said to myself "I am completing Mario 3 today", after a while my mind went "or I could actually enjoy a round of Mario World" and did that instead.

You want it? It's yours my friend, as long as you have enough rubies.

I am all for mentioning his conviction in the 1st sentence, but the crowd saying it should go into the 2nd sentence make some good points.

Barely anyone gets to have "convicted felon" in their lead sentence. Firstly, it is poor style unless the person is only known because they did a crime, secondly, convicted felon can mean a lot of thing and should be specified. "Convicted of falsifying business records" is just so much more specific, and can later be added with "and election interference".

In any case, while the discussion is ongoing it has been included in a 2nd sentence, and the editors supporting to move it to first sentence seem to be the majority. ~~If only more of them would read the whole discussion, instead of just saying "Support due to being established fact".~~

I have this cool Isekai idea called:

"I bought a faulty map, got hired by the Queen of Spain and landed in a new World?"
