Stick your phone in it and test:
Make a phone call to it and see if it rings.
See if it remains connected to WiFi and data.
See if Bluetooth can be connected.
Considering the amount of outside interference it causes, I don't think it's as effective as a true Faraday cage, though.
So, what's the deal with the mismatched safety limits between the carcinogen Aspartame and stevia? If not because of money, surely, it's not from a lack of science (evidence).
The push for helmets in Netherlands is mainly from the "Safe" Traffic Association (the road lobby).
It's actual doctors who are advocating for it.
I remember looking into this, and not only are bike crashes unreported in the Netherlands, but head injuries are surprisingly high, too.
I know we like to use the Netherlands as the gold standard for safe cycling infrastructure, but the fact remains that people do get into crashes (on their own) with the safest cycling infrastructure in the world. We are, after all, on moving objects.
Helmets save lives and can prevent head injuries. There's no real debate here.
I don't think anyone would rather their head hit concrete or metal, at any speed, without a helmet on.
But, yes, there's definitely been a greater need for helmets with the introduction of ebikes, especially for older riders. That's a demographic that has clearly suffered a disproportionate rate of injuries.
Super old video. MIPS helmets and other advanced helmets allow the helmet to shift a little, sending more of the force away from the head.
These offer significant safety benefits.
But we shouldn't beat a dead horse. Helmets prevent more injuries than not wearing one.
Even Dutch doctors are encouraging Dutch riders to wear helmets, because quite a few head injuries result from falls, not collisions with cars.
Talk about a waste of taxpayer funds. Trump treats the government like it's his personal errand boy.
an unknown vehicle hit his motorcycle moments later and left the scene.
No arrests have been made.
Hit-and-run probably works more than 50% of the time, so people do it.
But to be honest, the driver wouldn't get much punishment anyway. Maybe a ticket.
Lives outside of cars don't seem to matter.
For sure, it's "dose dependent". I was just correcting the assumption.
For a very small 45kg human that comes out to 30 cans of coke zero per day.
Not to split hairs, but the WHO says that the limit is between 9 to 14 cans for a 150lb person, which is still a lot, but not unreasonably so.
Considering that some countries have yearly soda consumption over 200L per person, coupled with the fact that someone who might be drinking diet cola, may also be using sugar-free foods (i.e. aspartame containing foods) throughout the day, then it seems possible that some may exceed the limit.
And that doesn't factor in different metabolic rates, other foods or medications that might enhance the effect, etc.
Disappointingly, stevia has a much lower "recommended limit", despite being shown to be safe. I wonder if that's because stevia comes from a plant, and not out of a lab, so it's harder to patent and monopolize in the market. 🤔
Apollo can't seem to catch a break with stem issues.
Their Phantom model also had a recall a few years back due to a stem bolt issue: https://apolloscooters.co/pages/apollo-phantom-2021-2022-bolt-recall
but I’m going to assume they’re talking about aspartame
Fight AGAINST cancer, not cause it!
Spoiler, they are talking about fermented stevia.
Had that been an SUV, the dude would have been smoked.
That said I ordered some endurance additives for the Silca wax so I’m gonna use that for now. I hope I can squeeze 1K km between rewaxing.
Nice! It wouldn't surprise me if you do! And a bag of wax lasts a very long time, so you should be set for at least the next few years.

I heard this guy chirping very loudly and spotted him enjoying a meal. It's rate that I'm able to see them eating this close, since they usually carry their catch away 😂
Near Darlington Park in Ontario.
This pisses me off.
