You can absolutely see a GP you’re not registered with if you are travelling and need to. I have done it multiple times. I have been offered it same or next day after calling 111.

This article is about a sodium-ion battery which is a different chemistry to the one BYD claimed those results on (that was LFP). Sodium-ion is exciting because it has the potential to have less degradation over time, much less sensitivity

This “nobody cycles in bad weather” is a tired myth. Yes, there’s some truth in it but cycling numbers past the traffic counters in my city in the UK (very similar climate) dip by 10-30% in winter months, and the higher end of those is most

A linter that disallows any code that uses eval in any form seems like a good start to me.

Except the other examples used to work like Apple’s and have switched to the scroll locked implementation. I think I prefer that mode to be honest, because it leaves you in a consistent place for up/down to take you to instead of it po

Because batteries are still expensive, this is a tough sell for most of the market. You would be removing lots of things that most buyers associate with more luxury cars, but not actually saving much of the cost and therefore not reducing t

The legionella thing is a little overblown fwiw. 50 degrees is perfectly adequate, and you can go lower with very little risk if you set it to briefly bump up to 60 every week or two. Even that is not hugely necessary in a domestic setting.

My partner researches one parasite named in this study (a type of whipworm) and they actually get their eggs for in vitro work from another researcher abroad who infected himself with the parasite because he finds it helps with his autoimmu

Road bikes are reasonably standard. Tubes will generally fit some range of tyre sizes so in practice a single size will fit most road bikes.

I too am irritated by their software but they do make nice hardware. I’d have their headphones if I trusted their software, the hardware is perfect IMO. Open and upgradable is not really their forte though.

What learnings? Google maps can’t even reliably tell me what lane to be in for the next junction, or what the speed limit of the current road is.

I’ve found “Increase Contrast” to be a better setting. Still a little bit of transparency but most elements now have borders and much more readable text. Not too many rough edges.

Yeah I’ve just set any search starting with !m to redirect to google maps. It’s in the custom search settings somewhere. I also find Kagi good in the UK - it wasn’t amazing when I first subscribed but got a lot better quite fast. I do occas

A camera is no substitute for actual visibility, at best it’s a mediocre workaround to the problem. There is no evidence at all that I’ve seen that there are fewer pedestrian collisions in modern large vehicles - I would be interested if yo

Not sure I completely agree (if the definition of vehicles is cars). That disregards miles travelled by cyclists and pedestrians etc. If 10% of the population switched from driving to cycling to work but the death numbers stayed the same, t

There’s a lot of research that for the average person, getting an e-bike will result in more exercise than a normal bike. Not because you work harder on one but because you’ll use it more. My knee jerk reaction was the same as yours but I’v

Nobody is arguing these trucks can currently cover every single use case. The US long distance trucking industry is an outlier.

Did your read the article? It’s talking about a totally different design to a standard bakfiet.

You have to be careful with the adapters because some brands have the circuitry that stops you running the battery too low in the tool and some in the battery. If you end up with a combo where that circuitry doesn’t exist you can over-deple

This may be true in your demographic (it is in mine) but as of 2015 there were 45 million driving licenses issued and at least 55 million adults.

This happens already, at least it does in the UK. Most cheaper brands of “extra mature” supermarket cheddar have added crystals. I don’t actually mind that much - I do think it is a genuinely slightly more enjoyable product with the crystal

And yet of course the narrative in most news articles in the past year was that the industry was in crisis and demand was collapsing.

Unlikely to be a problem if the windows are open, in most climates.

There’s _no_ statistics? Surely those statistics are precisely what all car insurance premiums are based upon. They might be proprietary but I am certain such statistics exist.

Their secret is not having delusions of grandeur. VC convinces us that a business is not a success unless it eats the world within ten years. In actual fact, many businesses make a very modest profit and took decades to get big enough you m

EVs emit less carbon even when powered by a fossil fuel dominated grid. The power plant is more efficient than your car, and often uses LNG rather than petrol or diesel, and there are still some renewables in almost any grid. In addition, a

Join the ORG for starters. Contact your MP. But yes, the number of people who care is small and so things will not change until it is large.

We are paying down the capex of installing chargers, grid connections, etc etc. It will come down over time.

Pretty bad for bikes though, and pushchairs.
