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.
Was your friend isong the phone on a bicycle or motorcycle? I’m asking because it’s not only a matter of hard vibrations, but also the frequencies invovled, and motorcycles engone can stimulate the wrong ones, while I was unaware of issues on bicycles.
this is very interesting, but it is relatade to a specific USA place and to a specific change (4 lanes to 3 lanes+cycle paths). unfortunately conclusions can’t be generalized, in this case.
You need a satellite to do that, I think
It is at world level, according to WHO
https://www.who.int/data/gho/data/themes/topics/topic-details/GHO/road-traffic-mortality
In the linked page the same WHO states that road fatalities are the leading cause of death “for children and young adults aged 5–29 years”:

except for the “cars are great” part.
Yeah… Excluding moron drivers you have:
I’m probably still forgetting something important…
I see some serious issues in this project
Cool project tho
Super cool, bu are they faster/more efficent than a good pair of diving fins?
Thnk yu, I nw crrectd
Nice read thank you!
Lately I find references to LowTech Magazine a the yime. I think it’s agreat project!
My biggest surprise was enjoying Childhood’s End.
What a coincidence: Clarke is one of my favorite authors, and for some reason I was missing this one! I’ll read it for sure!
Thank you!
not talking when I have nothing to say. Maybe not the best of the talents, but I appreciate it very much
Lateral thinking for problem solving. Colleagues and friends usually are at first confused, and then surprised by the way I approach things
Very good spatial and geographical orientatin. Maps are easy read, I don’t get lost even in unknown place etc.
How to establish this boundary without pissing people off?
A pair of headsets will do. They could be fake, for that matter.
For some reason people will tend to disturb you more easily if you are working than if you are listening to music 🤷
What I meant was, the fact that doctors make mistakes don’t make doctors optional
honestly neither I, nor the author video said that.
The topic (of this thread and of the video) is “is self-diagnosis valid?”
To which I would answer: it depends, valid for what?
What do you think about this? Where do you see dangers? Why would you need official medical validation, if you don’t need any official treatment/help?
Self-diagnosis might be good for you to get interested on the subject and then get a professional take, but that it’s it.
and what if you can’t get it?
Killing and stealing are still illegal even if there are people who don’t obey the rules.
I miss the relevance of this sentence here. Can you elaborate?
serious self-diagnosis is not only disrespectful to anyone actually suffering from the condition
your assumption is that people self-diagnosing is not suffering that condition. Why do you think so? If someone is self-diagnosing, maybe, probably, it is because he/she is suffering. This is one of the main point in the video. Did you watch it?
Also, a lot of people may not have access to a diagnosis, thus making people diagnosed and refusing other poeple self-diagnosis a sort of privileged elite.
But again, the video already answered those 2 points. The anti-scientific one probably in the first minute…
Quite a lot:
Is it worth it? I guess it depends on the use you make of you bike…
