I think here the bar is maybe higher for witty names. I can imagine if youre used to two languages it could be a good thing they mix them up.

It be less turned of by that. Same for flowery lawn, lawn flowers and a lawn full of flowers. But the mixed languages in this case sound very obnoxious to me. To be fair, if it was called fleurs de pelouse or fleurs d’herbe (which Google translate thinks is proper french) i would ask the people working there what kind of flowers they were, so i guess it is kind of original. Still don’t like it, but I don’t care if anyone else likes it. Everyone is free to their opinion, just wanted to express my negative opinion for no meaningful reason.

Speeding and drink driving play a big part in traffic deaths and also the cost of fixing all the people who do survive is totally preventable so I am all for it. Progressive fines sound very fair too, misbehaving companies in some cases also pay a percentage of their profit so why not citizens as well.

No i meant push it away with their toe obv

I can’t imagine this can compete with trains economically, and that is already much more expensive then traveling by ferry or plane. But I would enjoy this more than the other options for sure.

What makes you think so, or do you say that based on the content alone? I don’t have the impression they are pro-battery or against hydrogen, also don’t think they would let themselves be paid without mentioning someone did that.

This is 100% illegal, even if there was no tram rails. City would toe tow this car if they were quick enough to respond too.

I heard this was if you get caught for drunk driving the second time, they stepped up their game damn.

I wouldn’t call it satire, but since it doesn’t paint a very flattering picture of him I can imagine his supporters would call it satire. It is funny, but that because he behaves stupid. The real him is also funny in the same way, but at the same time there is nothing funny about it because he gets his way. His supporters probably say it’s made to make him look bad, but I feel I better understand him after seeing it. Doesn’t make me like him more though, the consequences his actions have on people makes him quite a villain; then and now.

Their research is based on a model like this, the million litre they say is being spilled would be ‘saved’ by comparing a model like this to their own extra splash resistant design. They say this model has to much backsplash.

Totally agree, which is why trustworthy independent media is so important (and taking that away is so effective in dictatorships).

Yay, have been waiting for Artificial Empathy my whole life!

Proving my point about them caring about what politicians say, instead of figuring out what they do. But you’re right, these people are being indoctrinated by the media they follow.

It is literally in the article: https://academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/article/4/4/pgaf087/8098745

The people who did the research do think it is a big deal, and it might be exactly the reason why you don’t use a urinal (although that could also have to do with your body parts, I don’t know you).

[…] the researchers wrote in the study. “The use of urinals often results in significant splatter (splashback) as urine splashes upon impact with the urinal generating droplets which travel back onto the floor and user.”

This splashback is a breeding ground for bacteria, resulting in bad smells in public restrooms and the potential for the spread of diseases.

“The surfaces of urinals have significantly higher concentrations of bacteria than traditional toilets, with surrounding floors having the highest level,” the researchers added.

This high level of spillage of urine requires frequent cleaning, which uses a large volume of water, is unpleasant work for custodial staff and is very expensive.

Just turn on the rain, that’s all there’s to it

Well good news, that is exactly what these researchers looked into.

I wonder wether they took these kinds of things in account in the research, if it’s about collecting to highest percentage of pee possible than I’d argue this matters too. They also say their design is better for children and people in wheelchairs so who knows.

Tend to pirate e-books, but will check out these options since I know I’m not supporting the author and the industry.

One thing about the graph is that some are labeled as ‘profit share’, what does that mean? The yellow orange color gives a hint it might be a bad thing since it’s not green, but it being next to environment friendly gives me the hint it is a good thing so now I’m confused.

I’ve not used it, but have used Nextory which seems similar. Also Storytell seems similar. What I do like about Nextory is that they have both audiobooks and ebooks, unfortunately not always both so that can be disappointing from time to time.

I’ve found I don’t really listen to audiobooks, prefer to read appearantly. Do think some books are more suited for being listened to than others, especially fiction. Can’t recommend a book since I’ve only listened to Dutch books so far.
