My guy, you’re someone who wouldn’t wear a helmet if the laws had only just changed to enforce them. You’re a hazard to yourself.
Also, in countries with socialized cost of healthcare, you have a duty to do your best to avoid becoming a weight for your society.
Maybe you can get a mountain bike helmet instead of a motorbike one, I guess the protection is also more adapted to the speed of a bicycle.
Reaction in the conference room:
crickets
assurances from Space Force and Air Force officials that they would increase efforts to monitor the effects that rocket launches have on nearby wildlife.
Right, those are certainly the best people to trust with wildlife protection.
When I say people who need a car, I mean people outside of cities where it is not reasonable to have public transportation. In this case, having a system of automatic electric cars that can be used by different people for their daily commute could reduce the number of cars outside of cities if the service is good enough.
Inside cities, public transportation is the solution.
I also hope this can be a solution for people who need a car to live while reducing the number of individual cars, but I'm afraid Tesla is not really interested in reducing the number of cars.
That's nice to know, I'm glad sources of greed sometimes cancel each other.

It's a battle of political ideologies.
ml is administered by the creators of Lemmy, they are openly socialist/communist/tankie depending on your own ideology, ml was chosen to represent Marxism-Leninism, and so the people it attracted are generally also adhering to this kind of ideologies.
.world was created for Redditors exile, as such, it is mostly center-left to social democrat.
Political extremists tend to extremise everything, typically a tankie will call you a Nazi/fascist if you disagree with them. That's one of your answer.
Secondly, some ml people are frustrated that Lemmy is not their own little thing anymore for them and their friends, as world is the biggest instance now by far. So they show some kind of instance-xenophobia, not much different from the Great Replacement theory: "we are being culturally replaced through mass migration".
Not all .ml people are like that of course. In my experience, it is enough to block a few tankies to get back to civilized discussions.
That's why you upgrade your webcam with a nerf gun.
Boustrophedon is a style of writing in which alternate lines of writing are reversed, with letters also written in reverse, mirror-style.
The original term comes from Ancient Greek: "like the ox turns [while plowing]". It is mostly seen in ancient manuscripts and other inscriptions. It was a common way of writing on stone in Ancient Greece.
A fun variation is the reverse boustrophedon: the text in alternate lines is rotated 180 degrees rather than mirrored.
The reader begins at the bottom left-hand corner of a tablet, reads a line from left to right, then rotates the tablet 180 degrees to continue on the next line from left to right again. When reading one line, the lines above and below it appear upside down.
I heard about it on a podcast about the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island. They use used the reverse boustrophedon style for their system of glyphs called Rongorongo, which remains undeciphered.
Then I get back into the game with my heart pounding.
It's my first time.
When the snow leopard sprang into action, Donglin assumed it was in pursuit of a marmot, not seeing, at first, the Pallas’s cat that ‘blended in so well with the rocks’. The little cat fled, but its short legs were no match for the muscular snow leopard, its long, thick tail helping it balance as it ran down the slope. In less than a minute, the snow leopard had its prey in its jaws, and proceeded to carry it back to its den.
Both species are very well camouflaged and extremely hard to spot. While large birds of prey and wolves are known to hunt Pallas’s cats, it’s rare to see them hunted by snow leopards.
Donglin understood the young leopard’s need to hunt but was heartbroken at the loss of the Pallas’s cat. She explains, ‘the cat had three two-month-old kittens, not yet independent, hidden in an empty marmot’s burrow nearby’.
After discussions with the guide and forest rangers, Donglin obtained permission from the local government for road-killed pikas to be left near the den. Three weeks later, the kittens were hunting by themselves, and not long after, two of them were seen with their aunt and its litter of five. https://www.nhm.ac.uk/wpy/gallery/2023-race-for-life

Résumé exécutif
Le projet Politoscope observe depuis 2016 le militantisme politique sur X/feu-Twitter. Nous avons développé des méthodes pour analyser les dynamiques sociales et de débats, ainsi que les manipulations d’opinions.
Permettant de passer en accéléré ces dynamiques sociales, il est possible de caractériser un processus d’affaiblissement puis d’inversion du front républicain à l’approche des législatives de 2024 et d’identifier les stratégies de subversion qui l’ont favorisé. Ces stratégies de basse intensité, pilotées ou influencées pour la plupart par le Kremlin, se déploient sur des échelles de temps trop longues pour que les acteurs du débat en aient conscience. Elles visent à déstructurer la société française de manière systémique pour provoquer une transition vers une société fermée ou une démocratie illibérale.
Dans un contexte de reconfiguration brutale de l’espace politique suite à la dissolution de l’Assemblée nationale, les efforts du Kremlin sont sur le point de payer. Cette étude identifie une convergence d’intérêts entre le régime de Poutine et l’extrême-droite française. Elle explicite certaines mesures actives mises en place par le Kremlin depuis au moins 2016 pour déstabiliser la société française et montre comment certaines d’entre-elles entrent en synergie ces jours-ci pour faire tomber voire s’inverser le front républicain. Ceci est la dernière étape avant la prise de contrôle de la France par des personnalités politiques moins hostiles au régime de Poutine.
Dans ce dispositif, les communautés politiques préoccupées par le conflit israélo-palestinien et la montée de l’antisémitisme ou de l’islamophobie sont instrumentalisées afin de compromettre tout barrage contre une extrême-droite banalisée au second tour des législatives.

There's a Samurai and a Joker. The joker says he wants to legalize cannabis and rename the Shibuya district to "drug-addict" district.
As far as I understand, Japanese people are fairly politically apathetic and abstention is very high.
Edit: governor, not mayor.
