Of course people die in cars. I’m just saying that if I’m getting hit by one, I’d prefer to be in another car than on a bike.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•The Trick To Stop Speeding Drivers Is Actually More Green LightsEnglish
112·1 day agoYou don’t even have to be rich-rich. Car-related fines are a joke.
I was thinking more along the lines of losing one’s license.

205·1 day ago…or what if we actually punish people who pilot their two-ton death machines irresponsibly?
As much as I agree, you’re far less likely to get killed by a psychotic motorist in a car than on a bike.
and heaven knows I’m miserable now

Given how much he’s pissed off Canada, they might be willing to oblige again.
When the 40 hour work week was brought in, working men were expected to have a wife at home to do all the household labour.
“8 hours for what we will” gets eroded pretty quickly now that both of you are expected to work.

Technology@lemmy.world•Tiny E-Reader Is the Best Piece of Technology in Years - The AtlanticEnglish
15·1 day agoWhile I agree that this sounds like all the drawbacks of an ereader with none of the bonuses of a phone, I think compartmentalisation is a pretty big factor. If the back of your phone is for reading, some people will be less likely to get distracted while their phone is flipped over - even though they’re literally holding the likely source of their distraction.
Edit: I feel stupid, but it occurs to me that you don’t have to have it attached to the back of your phone. I’m actually considering getting one now…

29·4 days agoYou mean to tell me that adding/removing tariffs multiple times a day every day, and threatening to annex your allies will make said allies choose trade relationships with other countries? Colour me fucking bamboozled.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think of Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy?English
5·6 days agoI thought all of them were excellent, though admittedly I only saw Rises the one time in the theatre. The Dark Knight stands out above the other two, though.
I’m not a Batman or comic fan, which could explain my taste. In fact, a group of friends and I tried watching the 1989 one with no nostalgia and we all agreed to turn it off halfway through.
I bought 32GB of DDR4 RAM for cheap (even for the time) just before the prices really started skyrocketing. They only had a few extras in stock and I strongly considered buying them out and trying to resell them. If I’d done so I could probably retire by now.

Yeah, but while there are motorists, biking around is fucking terrifying, at least where I live. I have no idea how I did it when I was in school.
