That’s not the real question though. The real question is rather are there any “real physical proof” that Jesus had literally anything special that is in itself being the “son of God” or anything related to religion.

Anybody (sadly) can be crucified, especially during a period where it is trendy. Anybody can walk through part of the desert. Anybody can organize a meal, give a speech, etc.

Even if it’s done exceptionally well, that does not make it special in the sense of being the proof of anything religious. We all have friends with unique talents, and social media helped us discovered that there are so many more of those around the entire world, but nobody in their right mind would claim that because Eminem can sing words intelligibly faster than the vast majority of people he is the son of “God”.

I also read a book about a decade ago (unfortunately didn’t write down notes about it so can’t find the name back) on the history of religion, from polytheism to monotheism, and it was quite interesting. If I remember correctly one way to interpret it was through the lens of religions maintaining themselves over time and space, which could include growing to a sufficient size in terms of devout adepts. The point being that veracity was not part of the equation.

Ohhh… that actually makes sense, thanks!

Some men claim they don’t want to get germs on their penis

How does that make any sense? What… how… I just… ?! Do they believe one washes their hands BEFORE peeing? Well OK, let’s imagine that, then then would have… cleaner hands so… less germs? Do they imagine that one “reverse wash” theirs hands before? Like… rubbing their hands on the floor itself THEN pee? It makes absolutely 0 sense. I don’t get any of it.

Except the 2 are not causally related. One can have 5.1 without the logo or, even worst, the waiting time.

FWIW you can fix it locally and eventually use a pull request.

I don’t know find well enough to comment on feasibility but I bet it’d be interesting to try, and maybe realize it’s not trivial.

Interesting, I’d love to dig on this, any reference?

If they can pass the crash tests and get over other regulatory issues

Including labor conditions.

Jumps by 16%? Jump to 16%? I would question my own mastery of English but if others had the same problem then arguably it was not clear enough.

Yes… I thought 'WTF… that can’t be right" then read the first sentence, went back to the title “Oh… no I didn’t misunderstand, I was mislead”. Bad OP.

My bad I didn’t see that proportion thanks for clarifying. As more than half are already going over the speed limit then there is indeed a more systemic problem. I thought it was about say 10% fringe that go with heavily modified bikes. I’m not sure more tech would help though, rather than fines with explanation of the risk until people do start respecting the limit. If people are unable to respect that and it causes more accidents, then yes ISA on e-bikes, cars, everything causing accident on the road.

They can, cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_speed_assistance with example in this thread

Apparently starting ISA in July 2024 https://www.brusselstimes.com/855280/self-braking-cars-all-new-cars-to-be-fitted-with-speed-limiting-technology

at least easier to find those who do it and fine them.

Missed that part, can you please clarify how?

I can’t see why this is not a good idea

I believe the argument here is that it’s security theater, i.e it looks positive but in practice has literally no effect. To clarify if people buy a “normal” e-bike today, they are already speed limited. Consequently people who have bike going faster that said limit are doing something already beyond the ordinary. The likelihood that such people would suddenly change their behavior to buy typical bikes when they have even more restrictions is probably not high, but the announcement still makes it look like something is done for the greater good.

Damn, finally. Can’t wait to see this actually take place. Only ambulances, firefighter or such services that genuinely need the speed and can justify it should be able to go fast in a city. On a highway where everybody are in properly protected vehicle all going in the same direction, sure, go fast, but a city where people actually live, kids walk to school, people walk their dogs, why going over the speed limit where you could literally kill someone.

July 2024 is very close but I wonder what will be the percentage of cars on the roads supporting ISA. I imagine less than 1% so curious about the rate of change. I imagine that due to LEZ though it could go relatively fast. There is hope after all for a city genuinely made for people.

I’m in nearly B as I usually only buy things with proper protocols, e.g Zigbee, that might not need a dedicated plugin. So obviously Haier is now a company I won’t buy anything from and will actively not recommend to anything who cares about my opinion on IoT.

It’s called having standards.

OK provocation aside yes, you actually have to stand for what you believe in. For some people it means not going to a meat restaurants, for others, like me, it means not accepting a WhatsApp chat or a Google Drive share. You also do that but because it’s either so ingrained or socially accepted you do not even notice anymore. Your standards are definitely not mine but if neither of us do push back, then we as a society go backward IMHO (even knowing my standards are not yours, assuming at least some of us do think and act based on new knowledge rather than random beliefs). So… yes it means my circle of acquaintances is not the most inclusive but I do accept boundaries and if it means someone is toxic according to my perspective, they are out, simple.

PS: you actually have no idea what my social life is. You literally can not judge if it’s “richer” or “poorer” than anyone else.

Easy, I don’t talk to such people. They can have my email or phone number if truly necessary. Yes, same for family or work, just not using Meta products for communication. Surprisingly enough people do understand.

I said Google Glass was fake. I thought everything about it was true except the display. I had never encountered this kind of optics before so when they announced it I claimed it was not possible to ship that then. I was wrong.
