I dont kniow about the podcast, I will try to listem to it. Thank you for the hint!

Actually the ad mentions

• 56 people can “seat” on the streetcar (and many more could stand if needed)
• cars are pretty full with an unrealistic occupancy of 2 people per vehiclr

And finally 3 people in a bus occupy less room than 3 cars and consume more or less the same amount of fuel…

Oh right. Another good point!

^ this: people always scared of being assaulted, never for a collision. Numbers speak clearly

How many cars, how much they are driven and how they are driven, depend on urban development.

Urban development -> cars -> pollution

If you want less cars going around, design your cities to allow and incentivize people not to use them. See recent developments in Paris as an example:

I think this is good practice from repair people: my motorbike mechanic would always keep the old parts when replacing them, to show me the status when I was taking the motorbike back. It’s a sort of transparency move that I actually appreciate.

And moreover, the old part is still yours, so it makes sense to give it back to you, unless you explicitly say otherwise

You mean they don’t repair the plastoc covers?

I guess that the same number of cells also dies in the same period!

This is a good point. What conversion kit did you use?

Honestly Milan is not really bike friendly (even if sloooowly getting better), that’s why we need this kind of demonstrations

The additional complexity and manteinance needed by ebikes is the major factor that scares me, more than price.

I want to do as little manteinance to my bike as possible, to be able to do it on my own, and ebikes don’t look like something that would allow me to do so, at the moment

Molto interessante.

Di recente ho installato Aves nel tentativo di liberarmi da google photo. Funziona bene, apprezzo molto la visuale “mappa”, tra l’altro.

Però Aves non ha tool di editing. Speravo di potermi affidare a “image toolbox”, che uso già, ma gli manca la possibilità di correggere la rotazione delle immagini (tipo 1 o 2 gradi).

L’editor di fossify gallery ha questa possibilità? O ci sono altri tool che qualcuno mi può consigliare?

Just guessing: trying to minimize vortexes and turbulences.

Conclusions are similar to this video from Berm Peak channel, that could find goof helemts (in terms of protection) at low price.

However he advises to be aware of the existence of helemts on amazon that would not protect at all!

Carabinieri are a police force that is under military hierarchy, but they are trained to operate in a civil context. They act and are equipped as a police force.

But the army mentioned in the news would be the one used to fight wars, with uniform and automatic weapons, not Carabienieri

Ok, I got your point

What I wanted to say, on the other hand, is that for one guy with an axe that ends up in the news, you have 100 guys that may act aggressively and/or violently. And as it is today, doctors and medical personnel has to deal with those too. A soldier would be even less suitable in those cases…

Quite a lot:

• energy efficency: a phone with a screen on will depleate battery very fast. This thing claims 20 h battery lide while actually using it
• readability in full sunlight: most phones are not readable in full sunlight and consume a lot in this situation
• impermeability: while many phones nowadays can withstand some water, this thing is designed to be used under the rain

Is it worth it? I guess it depends on the use you make of you bike…

A soldier is trained to deal with enemies with at least an automatic rifle.

Policemen are instead trained to deal with crazies with axes, knives, rods… etc. and possibly neutrilize them without killing them. They should be able to try a negotiation even. What can a soldier with an automatic rifle already in his hand do? Shoot.

It’s easy:

• war, peace keeping -> army
• public order, criminals -> police

Using army for public order, why? Soldiers are trained to fight, not ti deal with problematic, probably unarmed people.

Just use the police. There used to be police posts at ERs, they were cut. We don’t need a new solution…

They grew after BMW bought the company, so most of that growth was after that, specifically 3rd Gen.

The point of the post is not much that cars grew, they have always been doing so.

The main point is that the growth in dimension happen, but manufacturers don’t want to highlight it, and in the ad the old and the new Minis look like they are roughly the same size.
