we indeed have 50% car ownership, but thats usually just to go on vacations or when you want to take something with you that you can't really take on a train. Yes, some people go by car, but everyone who can go by bike goes by bike.
nope, because we take a 1 hour train ride.
the stations usually have underground guarded bike parking lots, but if you put a nice looking bike in a bad part of a city and dont put a chain on it, it'll probably get stolen. And, of course, the drunk students throwing them in the canals.
This might sound bad, but its not actually that bad. if you just put a chain around it, nothing happens.
actually, we somehow do
the Netherlands is so great! the train station near me has a giant bike parking garage, and only like 10 car spots, which are made just for bringing and picking up people. And from then its less than an hour to get from anywhere in the 'randstad', the part of the Netherlands with most cities, to another.
also, most Dutch neighbourhoods (/suburbs) have a single lane road which is also used by the bikers, meaning the cars are forced to go only as fast as the bikers.
pounds per square inch. the us version of bar or n/m²

new version just dropped
imagine getting hit by the 200 square away rook in the corner
I'll try it the next time I'm fondueing
appliences that connect to your internet are supposed to be secured, but cheap Chinese ones usually arent. this means they can easily get hacked and added to a botnet thats used for DDoS attacks. I once saw a screenshot of someone whose washing machine uploaded ~30GB of data per month.
the best thing to do against this is to just not connect them to the internet.
nope, but they do have WiFi to send analytics to the factory (and so that they can get hacked and be used for DDOS attacks)
I said (or at least meant) that imperial doesn't use powers of ten like metrkc
