I don't have a specific suggestion, but it could be something like "synthetic fertilizer kills the symbiotic microbes nevvessary to..." rather than "scorched soils (that require chemicals to grow anything)". Just an

Use terms that convey the objection you have to it. Or object to the negative effects they have in the first place.

> Sweden, having a much smaller government with fewer conflicting factions Lol. In contrast to the US, Sweden has a somewhat functioning democracy with more than 2 mainstream parties.

"just fine with irradiating large fields full of plants" Are you referring to UV/cosmic radiation?

Please don't use the word "chemical" like it is something unnatural or harmful. Water is a chemical. The active ingredients of natural fertilizer are chemicals.

It feels quite obvious that a specialized bike store would focus on the more hard core end of the spectrum, since otherwise they would need to compete with wallmart and costco.

I dont think the lye itself is supposed to circulate in the floor/radiators. There would be a heat exchanger.

It is not about absolving them, but recognising that people are retarded assholes and there will be human error as long as we have human drivers. So if we want to make driving safer, we must change the traffic environment.

Another change recently was more fine grained speed limits. You now have speeds for each 10 km/h instead of 20. Some roads had their speed limit raised, like from 90 to 100 km/h. I think it has created a higher sense of fairness,

I think you misread that. It is not about blaming the driver, in the sense that we all know driver will continue to drive poorly. So if we want change, we can't just blame the bad drivers and go on designing cars and roads the same way

The 2+1 roads mostly used to be 1+1 with no middle barrier, I believe. If you wanted to overtake a slower car, you had to time it well so you could use the opposite lane while it was (hopefully) empty of oncoming traffic. Or you'd hope

I suppose it is possible. For that to happen, there might be a need to teach and encourage it. I don't know how nationalistic India is, and if it would be well recieved. There is apparently an ISO standard for Indic scripts: https:&#x

With proper use of promises, async/await and generators, there is no reason for callback hell. But why would you need threading? 99% of the time will be spent waiting for io. And you can allways spawn a process if you need something c

Ts is great on the backend. And if it gives you only "some typing", you are doing it wrong. With noexplicitany and strictnullchecks, you can get really nice, typed code. Even stringly typed code can be typed now, with keyof.
