Nobody expects everybody to transport everything everywhere with a bike.

Germany has a growing number of carpenters, construction workers, etc using cargo bikes when possible, which is quite often. Same in France. Of course they also use a van to transport wood, etc. But many jobs don't require to bring everything and the kitchen sink. So they have maybe one van and three cargo bikes instead of four vans, or just rent one when needed.

Go shift your goalposts somewhere else. You said cyclists didn't pay for roads. You're wrong. Now leave, thx.

self-driving cars have the potential to be much safer than human-driven cars

And if car makers have extensively proven that this is, in fact, the case, they might be allowed on the streets.

(arguably, they already are)

Narrator: they weren't.

“Tesla is having more severe — and fatal — crashes than people in a normal data set,”

And I guess this normal data set is including US drivers only, who arguably are ... not that good.

it causes proponents to get overly defensive.

Uh, no. Getting "overly defensive" is your choice, and yours alone. "Look what you made me do" is really a terrible excuse for anything.

Es ist korrektes Deutsch.

Beide Wörter haben die gleiche Bedeutung in beiden Sprachen, und darüber hinaus die gleich etymologischen Wurzeln. Machen und Sinn sind durch die Angeln, Sachsen, etc in die Englische Sprache aufgenommen worden.

Warum sollten die Briten jetzt Sinn machen können, aber Deutsche nicht mehr? Es war ja vorher schon in Verwendung, bei Lessing u.a.

Das hat sich jemand in den 2000ern ausgedacht, um sich auf seinen angeblichen Sprachverstand einen runterzuholen.

Gemeinsame Flächen unsicherer als getrennte Führungsformen. Fußgängerzonen besonders auffällig.

Nein! Ah was! Wer hätte das gedacht. Alles finden die raus. Alles!

Vielleicht würde es helfen, wenn wir nicht den Großteil unserer Verkehrsflächen für Autos opfern?

Schwere Unfallfolgen kaum seltener als bei anderen Unfallkonstellationen

Wä? Die 1.2% Toten im Balken bei Fuß-U sagen da etwas anderes?

13 Getötete

Von ~850 im Straßenverkehr getöteten Radfahrenden und zu Fuß Gehenden... Wer könnte bloß den Rest verursacht haben...? 🤔

Alleine schon das "überwiegend" in der Überschrift. 2553/4517. 56.5%. Scho recht, es überwiegt... 🙄

TBH ist es mir auch zunehmend unklar.

Der ganzen Sache geht das voraus: https://openjur.de/u/2470726.html

Das ist also schon vor dem AG gewesen, der Beklagte hat Berufung eingelegt, und das LG hat dann o.g. Urteil gesprochen. Begründung des AG war § 201 StGB.

Wie das jetzt wieder beim gleichen LG gelandet sein soll, ist mir schleierhaft, weil wenn die StA gegen das Urteil des LG Revision eingelegt hätte, wäre ja der BGH zuständig gewesen.

Also entweder habe ich da irgendwas in der StPO nicht richtig verstanden (ist möglich) oder die FAZ redet wirr. Ich finde auch kein neues Urteil bei openjur oder dejure und keine weiteren Pressemitteilung oder -artikel dazu

Beer isn't made by leaving barley in a barrel... It's cooked. Also wine was and is the preferred drink in southern Europe since the Romans who looked down upon the "barbarians" who drank beer.

All this "people drank beer because water was unsafe" is just an urban myth: https://lemm.ee/comment/4891280

heatedly discussed - factoid

It's not a factoid but an urban myth, historians are quite clear about this.

Water was – generally – safe to drink, and people drank alcohol for sustenance and because it was less boring than water. They also didn't write that much about drinking water, because it was completely natural to drink it and readily available. Besides, the low-level "small beer" isn't safe because of its alcohol content, it still goes bad rather quickly, but because it was made with clear water and barley cooked.

The original idea behind imperial units is actually quite nice. They used 12 inches in a foot because you could divide it in so many ways without using decimals. You can take 1/2 of it, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/6 without ever needing decimals.

You can measure 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 of a meter, why wouldn’t you? Also, seriously, those common fractions aren’t that hard in decimal. Everybody knows that 125 g is 1/8 kg.

That’s not the issue. The issue is that it’s not consistent between imperial units, you have a zoo of different subdivisions between units. You have 12 inches in a foot, three foot in a yard etc pp.

The issue is it gets really unwieldy in multiplication, 1 cubic ft is how many cubic inches… 1728, how convenient.

Tell me how much is 1/6 cubic ft in inches? How many cups are that? There goes your mental math.

(It is also a common misconception that imperial is „duodecimal“. It’s not. It’s counting to 12 in decimal. If you had a proper duodecimal system, „12“ * „12“ would make 100 not 144.)

We all still use 360° in a circle

And you also say 180°, 45°, 720°. Not 1/2, 1/8, 2.

I wouldn’t read too much into that, evolutionary psychology is a pseudoscience: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_evolutionary_psychology

Psychology is already a field full of rough concepts, bad statistics, and low certainties, we mostly have no clue why we’re doing things right now. Adding millions of years and unprovable speculation surely doesn’t help.

  • Knipex Cobra and/or Pliers Wrenches. Unbelievably helpful, and they will actually last forever. The XS variants are popular as a pocket tool.

  • Mora Companion knife. Srsly, if you need one utility knife in your life, it’s this. Dang cheap, good steel, easy to (re-)sharp, forgives a lot of abuse, and did I mention it’s dang cheap.

  • Lundhags shell boots (e.g Park, Forest, Vandra). Best bad weather hiking boots. Basically indestructible, easy to maintain and repair. Waterproof, no GTX membrane that pollutes the environment forever but dies after a year or so. But be aware you need to take out the insole to let it dry and wear several socks. They’re waterproof from both sides… If you can live with that they’re excellent value, insanely comfortable, and will probably outlive you.

Yeah, but honestly that doesn’t work too well either, does it.

In my opinion, in the majority of cases copyright only helps those who are already famous and the companies that own the copyright*.

I don’t know much about books (but from what I have read, authors here also get scraps), but the film industry is all over the media right now, so I think everybody is aware that even actors of really successful shows get literal pennies for their work: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/notes-on-hollywood/orange-is-the-new-black-signalled-the-rot-inside-the-streaming-economy

I do know a lot about (parts of) the music industry to confidently say: it’s the same.

Sure, you have some people who are doing well, extremely well as a matter of fact, but the vast majority of artists have a really hard time getting by. And I’m not talking about the local band playing in the pub with nobody listening, I’m talking about people who tour around the world and play in front of thousands of people.

And unless it’s some really major case of infringement (like taking a song and publish it as your own) they’re neither helped nor do they care much about copyright.

Who does care is, e.g., the German GEMA, a company who watches public performances of copyrighted work, so if you’re playing a song from another band, or playing copyrighted music in a mall, you have to tell them. Allegedly they’re there to ensure fair compensation of artists, in reality they only pay themselves most dearly.

*) This is a bit complicated for me to write about, because under German law you have a creator’s right, which you cannot ever sell or lose, and a copyright, which allows temporary or permanent reproduction of your work. „Stealing“ a song, as mentioned above, wouldn’t be a copyright infringement, but a creator’s right infringement.
