The fact is that pressure is force per unit of surface. So your car tires are holding in a lot more force than your bike tires, even though the pressure is lower.

I use AdGuard on iOS, but I expect uBlock to also work (for the web version of yt).

Thank you for this. I understand your point, learned a few things and admire your energy. I hope your frustrations are superficial and don’t impact your general mental well being… Cheers :)

Aluminum is not a naturally occurring metal however, but I do get your point. Never knew we received so much already.

No starlink is bad. It’s currently deorbiting 1-2 satellites a day, which means half a ton of aluminum and other metals burnt up in the atmosphere. Current ambition mean they will need to start deorbiting 3-5 satellites per day.

We don’t know yet what ecological impact this will have. But I’m having a hard time accepting such wasteful energy and material consumption.

Will look for deals, thanks for the pointer!

Thanks, that is nice to know :)

Ed Ziltron has a good piece regarding whether the losses are “just another startup” or something more. I am very much leaning towards “burning money at an insane rate just to give the impression of growth”.

In wood yes. But please keep them off my bike. You suddenly really start to enjoy the ball end of your Allen keys when working in tight spots and torx has none of that (and some brand are starting to use more and more torx on their models)

You can see a DNS server as a phone book for your computer. Your computer needs to seek a connection to an ip address to display a website for example. But you as a user only knows the url of the website. So your computers asks the dns server which ip address it should go to.

Damn this guy is ADHD’ing on a whole new level.

The problem the government faces is how to make a distinction between moped and a classic e-bike. Because from the factory there is no real difference apart from “oh it looks a bit like a moped”. My vote goes to setting the minimum age for assisted riding at 16 (except medical reasons) or at least obligating having a helmet under the age of 18 (to protect their poor undeveloped brains). Which will immediately kill the attraction which is to ride a moped without helmet. The real challenge is regulating e-bike unlocking in general (as well as adding a throttle). Which is hard because the electronics can quickly be set back to factory with a click of a button.
