Sure, there are those crazy bike messenger types blowing through red lights at full speed

But thats not the majority of offenders. And still nowhere NEAR the danger of cars doing the same thing, even at lower speeds.

I'll take a hit from an ebike over a speeding car any day of the week

Ok, lets do the worst case scenario for a bike....the bike BLOWS through the intersection at 60km/h like those crazy bike messengers on youtube... It still has only a tiny fraction of the kinetic energy of a car and low probability of killing or maiming someone.

Have you seen a person get hit by a bike at 60km/h? Watch pro bike racing. It happens once in a while (opi omi lady) . Most of the time the victim gets up and walks away. Worst case they end up in the hospital with broken bones.

Have you seen a person get hit by vehicle at 60? I haven't (thank god) but 25% chance of death and 50% chance of severe injury (i would imagine life altering)

People should not be licenced to operate a vehicle if they cant understand basic physics and the VAST gap in danger between drivers not following the rules and cyclists not following the rules

Cars running red lights = driver slamming on the gas trying to beat the yellow. 3000kg of steel and glass travelling at 60+km/hr in a crowded city

Bikes "running" red lights = riders looking both ways and coasting through when it's clear... 100kg of flesh and aluminium going 10km/hr

These are not even remotely close to the same levels of danger...

So while everyone should follow the rules, enforcement should focus on those with the potential to do the most damage

Biggest winner in my heart is derek gee!! Jumps 4 places into 6th!!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Dunno. Breakaway in later stages... get your TV time later in the race, not pulling 2 teams with more to lose and motivation to pull... Either way, seems like a waste of energy for no gain

Maybe i play too much pro cycling manager trying to conserve the green energy bar

[–] 9488fcea02a9 1 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Yeah but you still have to leave it to bora/uae to do the chase. Wasting energy that could be used later

Why is polti pulling the ayuso/roglic group??

You reap what you sow. Farmers should understand tjis better than anyone

"The Rant" guy is back. And this time, promoting Canada instead of sub-par beer.

Way better than the original rant.

Literally crying while watching this.

Fun fact: it's Jeff Douglas from CBC Radio

 

as the title says, i checked the "Open links in a new tab" option, but posts still open in the same tab. anyone else having this problem?

using firefox on debian linux, if that matters...

 

Another made in Canada brand goes down... Dont let them fool you with "Concu au Canada/Designed in Canada". No problem if you want to keep buying the brand, but if they dont drop the prices then dont pay "made in canada" prices for chinese made stuff.

Brands still made in canada (specifically QC): Quartz (only the winter coats) and Audvik

 

Has there been a major spike in user registrations or any other metric? I've never seen something "go viral" like this on lemmy before.

 

I just got back from 6 weeks away from home and totally forgot hockey started while i was gone.

I also wasnt paying attention on the offseason either.

What did i miss?

With the whole XZ compromise, i am now rethinking the pros and cons of using f-droid

Google play: trust the developer, trust google's vetting process and distribution

F-droid: trust the developer, trust f-droid build tools and distribution

So in both cases, the developer could be either knowingly or unknowingly including malicious code in their code or apk... We cant really do anything about that. Have to trust the developer, or build from source yourself.

Once the apk is produced and sent to google, it is unlikely to be altered before being downloaded on to your phone. (Assuming your threat model does NOT include google being coerced by state level actors to send you a bad .apk)

F-droid's entire build chain and distribution seems like a relatively easy target for building and distributing bad .apks. We're talking about the difference between attacking google, vs. attacking a small community supported website.

Dont get me wrong, i'm a long time f-droid user and donor. I'm just thinking out loud and seeing if anyone else has similar concerns.

My niece has an old iphone with no SIM/phone number. Only wifi internet access.

Looking for an app for both of us to be able to chat

She cant chat with me over signal because no phonee number. She chats with the rest of the family over imessage, but i have an android phone

Is there an app available for both android and iphone to let me chat with her?

Thanks

Edit: willing to self-host for extra privacy. My nieces and nephews are all young children so i definitely want to encourage/educate them to get off corporate controlled communications channels

 

I'm looking to qualify for boston (M41, 3:10 for my age group)

Current PR is 3:20

Is having a coach worth my money and their time? I have no delusions of being an elite runner. Is coaching a good tool for my current level?

 

i guess i just experienced one of the biggest downsides to the fediverse that people have been talking about. instance suddenly disappeared with no warning. i guess i've lost my follow list
