Is it playing into the hands of Russia it was not unintended but very very intentional

It's sad to hear, but at this point those soldiers are just collateral damage. Their presence was enough to make them a target. Condemn US attacks, don't provide them with any logistical, moneyary or material support and then this whining would be a real complaint.

Email address spec is convoluted and this is indeed the best way. Noobs and ninja do it this way, normies try to validate before sending email

A credit card that only works domestically is not a deal breaker. Most of the time, people don't travel abroad. So, using a more advantageous card (more perks, less fees, etc.) domestically makes sense.

Domestic providers are a thing in several countries which are smaller than EU. Some of them don't operate internationally so this news isn't that weird

Apple's preferred languages definitely have a smaller foss footprint than say c or rust or go

I've noticed that instead of a slow change in the right direction, people prefer drastic action even if it's in the wrong direction.

Voting in fascism to power is super obvious under this observation

Chinese infrastructure and manufacturing lead is real. You don't need to believe any propaganda, just travel and observe.

The asterisks are not about their usecase but political.

The OP is correct wrt powerful e bikes sharing space with pedestrians and normal bikes.

They are a different beast, heavier and noisier. They have much higher speed limit, and require less effort (some models need no pedal power) to travel. This, alongside the rise of delivery services, encourages people to overspeed (more than 20mph).

15mph is roughly the limit of what makes bicycles safe for mixing with pedestrians, but beyond this speed, they aren't that different from a motorbike in terms of road design considerations.

At least they are better than cars and SUVs

Same with Switzerland

Without context this link is just bad. Plant growth will not reduce CO2 levels because biosphere is temporary store or carbon (since it is a part of the carbon cycle)

We are putting carbon (into the atmosphere) that was previously buried. So putting a tiny bit of it back into plants doesn't help because:

  • those plants will die and release the carbon back
  • the number of plants added is inconsequential compared to the deforestation
  • the number of plants needed to offset additional carbon is humongous
