The thing is riding bikes is fun and for some their riding is more fun on the road. Windy mountain roads are the best roads for fun riding.

I want to be able to break hard without sliding, I want to corner fast and with confidence, and I want to not deal with a bumpy road surface. The road is also usually just faster if you are riding for transportation or want to do a lot of milage.

Also not everyone has a car.....................

Idk the BND and its French equivalent can largely buy up the exact same data sources the Americans are buying as well.

I agree that it's kind of a waste in terms of why would we want mass surveillance at home. But believing the EU can't do this from a tech /resource perspective is rather shortsighted. Now a German French co-production running super smoothly especially at the start is also unlikely but they probably will get there at some point.

In my case Kleinanzeigen But like your locally available FB marketplace/ Craigslist alternative.

Yeah idk you can get a working e reader that is over 10 years old for 15€ so they aren't that expensive.

But if you fully compost ( with temperature monitoring and like good com.post management) then composting will sterilize the soil.

Cellular in cars as far as i know is mandated to have the sos function. Since 2015 as well. So that's not gonna be an option if you want to sell cars in the eu.

Now this regulation exists to make cars more profitable not necesarrily to make the cars safer but its still mandatory.

20km/h is just too slow though. It turns transportation infrastructure that is quite useable on 20+ km journeys and turns it into infrastructure really only usable for short trips.

Also if you were to trying to get somewhere fast with a 20km/h speed limit that you abide by your effort would esentially be a lot of short sprints up to speed and a bunch of trundling in between, imo maybe the most annoying way to ride a bike.

I could see like 30km/h city and 40km/h country or something like this but 20 is just too low.

A 20km/h limit makes an average of ~ 20km/h impossible and i'd recon most long bike commutes find around a 20km/h average to be quite comfortable, but a 20km/h average even on flat terrain requires stints well past 20 to make up for lights and such. If it gets hilly this limit gets even more ridicoulous, depending on the grade the bike rolls way faster than 20.

These things are at most half as wide as most modern cars so no its not car sized. Its not really bike sized either sure but its not just a car. Actual bikes both motor and pedal variety alreay cope fine in city traffic these are fine as well in terms of safety, maybe not in the dessert but otherwise its alright.

Of course its cost cutting at the expense of some comfort, but I'd much rather have this or any similar aliby cargo bike delivering in my neighboorhood than vans, even electric ones. These things are speed limited and the acceleration is fairly tame as well, the driver generally has a much better view than a van, and requiring the pedal input for forward movement makes the driving a bit more conservative/safe.

These should not be on standard bike paths they are just too big for that, but on pedestrianized/ bike streets these are infinetly better than cars for anyone except for maybe the driver, and on low ish speed limit inner city streets they are also just better than cars.

It is actually progress but its also just companies being cheap of course. I do see them as a genuine city quality indicators here in the EU, if they don't exist it's a sign the urban area is either pretty small or just super car centric.

This month it's probably temcandoanything - teto's territory

I mean yeah sts is by far my favourite and most played game at well over 2k hours in sts1 and already past 200 in sts2 which is barely out. So my perspective on playtime and ascension clears might be a tad warped.

I just remembered my first a20 heart to have taken like 400h so sts2 a10 felt kind of like a joke in comparison. But granted act 4 made sts1 a20 quite a bit more difficult and doesn't exist yet for this one.

Ahh yeah I have mine separated into machine and other screws. At least mostly separated.
