If you consider that a car weighs hundreds of kilograms but its contact surface with ground is something like 100 squared centimetres, that pressure makes sense

Interesting. Do you know why it is like that in the US and not in some other countries? Is it because the jury makes the decision?

Depends on the country

Can’t the attorney appeal the verdict in the US?

“We love unregulated markets” - we say in unison

It surely matters how that money is spent. So a better solution would be to redirect some of the police funding to social programs.

I don’t know the statistics but survival chances for addicts might be actually better than for soldiers in active combat

Elon Musk happened. Twitter’s staff banned Trump after 2020 elections, but (luke warm take) Musk bought Twitter to reinstate Trump

It just raises interesting questions about our consciousness if we can kinda observe from “outside” our brain’s behaviour

The unique trait of neurodivergent people is that they think about their brain as a separate entity

About the composting - if you live in a region which has a professional compositing facility, properly sort your rubbish and don’t compost on your own.

Composting emits a lot of greenhouse gases and professional facilities capture them and use them in less harmful ways. So if we were all in-house composting our bio-garbage it would be more harmful for the environment than using communal services.

It’s a little bit different for gardening products - those first capture greenhouse gases and would rot on ground anyway so composting kinda balances out. But still, for example if you’re cutting your grass just leave it on the ground and rake it. This way it’s not gonna rot and will fertilize your lawn.

Wait, do you have a source for the 50% number?

3 seconds is the minimum safe distance, regardless of speed

Yeah… I can’t think of more even including regionalisms

Interesting. Ubuntu/PopOS screenshot tool freezes the screen upon hitting the button. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the cursor feature

We’re still talking about the mouse cursor, right?

Headlights definitely need more regulation but this issue is very amplified in SUVs which are much underregulated. They have mismatched bumper heights to other cars causing more damage, they drag pedestrians underneath causing more injuries. I personally see no point for modern SUVs existing at all, but let’s at least make sure they are safe on roads.

120 Celsius is still fairly low for baking
