you also don’t hear about it as much because people tend to bike more in warm weather so it’s more likely for you to go long stretches of time without biking when it’s getting colder.

Off topic, but I think it's funny how cycling is viewed in different parts of the world. You look at it as a hobby that is naturally done less in the winter. For me it's just a way to get to work and I still have to work when it's cold, so obviously I'm still cycling just as much. And this is true for a lot of people, the bike rack at my job is almost as full in the winter as it is in the summer.

Never ever. It wasn't the reason why I got my current phone, but I thought I would use it at least sometimes. I don't.

Yes, a heart that has completely stopped beating cannot be restarted by defibrillation. It only works in a condition called ventricular fibrillation, when the muscle fibers of the heart are still contracting, but are no longer "in sync". This causes the heart to twitch chaotically, which is not an effective way to pump blood. And without blood pumping, the heart itself does not receive any oxygen as well, so it will eventually go into a complete flatline after a few minutes of untreated ventricular fibrillation.

The electric shock helps the fibers resynchronize. If you want to see the effect directly, here's a video:

Be warned, it shows an open chest and an exposed heart, most likely during heart surgery. They are using spoon-shaped internal defibrillation paddles. In the beginning, you can see the heart in ventricular fibrillation. It's twitching chaotically and not pumping any blood. After defibrillation, it starts contracting rhythmically again.

Exactly, as soon as the money goes from your bank account to theirs, they can do whatever the fuck they want with it. Not saying that's a good thing, but that's how the system is currently designed.

Yet he thinks people are going to pay for it?

The people who produce the garbage will pay for it and maybe a few journalists who want to report on the newest pile of garbage, trying to create enough outrage to generate a few clicks on their shitty "news" site.

Ja, vegane Milch schmeckt schon anders und ich bin sogar der Meinung dass Kuhmilch besser schmeckt. Trotzdem benutze ich für Müsli, Cornflakes, Kakao, u.s.w. vegane Milch und esse auch veganen Joghurt. Damit benutze ich die vegane Milch genau so wie Kuhmilch und genau darum geht es ja hier.

I mean... it's pretty much impossible to know how many undiscovered murders there are. Yes, you can do autopsies on everyone who's declared dead and then figure out how many of them were killed, but there are a lot of ways to kill a person that won't show up in an autopsy, especially in a hospital setting.

Weight is definitely the most important issue for a plane, but at some point volume also becomes a limiting factor. Yes, you can stretch an airplane, but that also makes it heavier. With jet fuel, they're currently using every available space, storing most of it in the wings and some also in the fuselage. That's much harder to do with hydrogen, because the pressure containers can't just take on any shape. They have to withstand absolutely insane pressures, so they have to be either cylindrical or spherical.

We have a few national parks, but they're not nearly as big or as old as the ones in the US. And there are no more native forests, every one of them has been man made at some point. Within national parks and some other areas, they're trying to let nature take over again but it's a slow process. In one national park (Harz) they've stopped trying to save the spruce trees that were never supposed to be there, and they're all dying from drought, climate change and bark beetles:

I'm sure something better adapted to the conditions will come in after the spruce is gone, but it's a work in progress.
