That's so incredibly reductive, that I'd go ahead and call it plain wrong. "Caused by a human" is the lowest tier, first base human instinct analysis of any accident, and as such, unless proven otherwise, can be discarde

Your "large area" is actually tiny, and the solution is to... not go there. Yeah, all you have to do is not go to a very specific tiny area in Ukraine. I think that's quite easily manageable. As usual, when such things are me

There's even more to it — real conversations are interactive, so if a statement causes confusion, it can be cleared up immediately. Forum posts, however, must stand alone for the most part. You probably also know the person you're

So upgrade to 1.25? What reason could you possibly have to be so far behind? I can understand staying one version behind latest, to not be exposed to brand new bugs, which do happen, but staying two versions behind is pointless.

Pedestrian mortality at 20mph vs 30mph is also vastly different: ~10% vs ~25% [1]. Also, see the graphs at [2]. [1]: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22935347/ [2]: https://data.bikeleague.org/new-nhtsa-

> As the EU continues its course to ban the sale of ICE cars by 2035, the argument of "fewer cars make for cleaner air" is gradually losing weight. Complete nonsense I'm afraid. An EV is about 50% cleaner and way quieter.

The starting point is anti-anything-but-a-car, so it's understandable that in the process of getting to any sort of parity you'd feel like it's "harassment". It's like claiming getting rid of slavery is "h

The difference in severity of a crash between a car and a bicycle is on the order of 20x. Are you seeing 20x more agressive cyclists than motorists? Anyhow, talking about the hospitalization rate without the mortality rate is very odd a

This is very dependent on the environment. I would not be so confident saying this about the USA in particular. If you can stick to at least half-decent dedicated cycling infrastructure separated from cars, sure. If riding alongside traff

That combined with the parent's post is, perhaps counterintuitively, somewhat concerning. The proper technique for yielding to pedestrians wishing to cross is to start slowing down early, as if you were planning to stop before the cros

In theory, it depends. In practice, slamming on your brakes is the correct call 99% of the time. To a large extent that is because of the "competent driver" part. I'd expect 80%+ of drivers to consider themselves just that, w

Could you briefly explain in simple terms, why I as a user would care about any of that? I want stuff to work. With Wayland, it largely doesn't. I don't terribly care about the semantics of it.

No, not just like. You're downplaying significant differences between the two that do in fact matter. So much so in fact, that you're just wrong. Stop spreading misinformation.

Yeah, but you probably don't walk along a highway every day to get your groceries, do you. The closer the traffic gets to where people live, the lower the speed limit, and the more relevant the loudness of an engine. Another factor is
