I hate going around city infrastructure (like temporary signs) in they bike lane

[–] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

The only place on my commute where I interact with left turning vehicles (we keep left, so it's the same as your right turning ones) we have a bike lane which strongly implies bikes going straight ahead have right of way

When it's a car turning, I make sure I'm not going to be in the intersection until they are already turning

When it's a public bus, they wait for me before moving. I think our bus drivers get some instruction on how to act around bikes

The first one is based on epidemiological studies, correlation, not causation

The third one is comparing good diets to the standard American diet - high meat, high sugar. Since diabetes is a significant risk factor, don't you think it might be the sugar?

Your middle one says among other things:

Inconsistencies might be due to differences by setting; most studies showing a positive association were conducted in North America or Europe

So it's probably not the meat, it's the things western people eat with their meat.

Why meat comes up as a risk? People who are taking care of their health and watching what they eat, exercising they follow guidelines and don't eat much meat, but they also avoid pizza and avoid Coca-Cola, and avoid highly processed foods. The people who don't take care of their health are eating all those things, and meat.

You don't look down voted to me, you're on 1 point. I feel like you're contributing to the conversation.

They expect the pulverised rock to be spread by the blast and distributed on ocean currents, the CO2 is throughout the water column, it moves over concentration gradients, if one volume of water has 1g/L and another has 3g/L then CO2 will move from the 3g/L bit into 1g/L bit until they are in balance

I think they hope the pulverised rock will be spread so it works quicker, not having to wait for CO2 to balance

Government is fine. Remember money is just IOUs from the government, if billionaires assets were sold and the money went to government it would be deflationary, all money in circulation would become more valuable

I wonder if they actually meant the British Isles rather than the UK

[–] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah that is correct, I was only describing singular usage. It is commonly believed by English speakers that thee, thou, thine were formal or that you and your are newer

Really we dumped the informal words and started addressing everyone as if they were due respect of rank or station

on an annual basis

Actually on a 5-yearly basis

Known, thanks to the nurses study which doesn't control for healthy user bias, doesn't collect enough information to know whether the was meat in that burger

It may have been fish burgers

It may have been impossible burgers

It may have been vegeburgers

It may have been a large double whopper meal

Also it's not "known" it's correlated, the more times a week a person eats red meat for example "burgers" or processed meat for example "hotdogs" the note likely they're going to have some bad effects. I suspect it's the sugar that comes with the meat

It doesn't ask about fast food meals, it asks "burgers?"

That's comms, not comm

[–] psud@aussie.zone 3 points 7 months ago

Radio abbreviates communications to comms.

Lemmy abbreviates community to comm.

There's no conflict, no danger of confusion

That made it especially fun, as the mod used the acronym "GIF" (graphical interchange format)
