The standing seats op is talking about passed safety test. They include back support and belts.

Valid concern but there are very promising results for recycling or restoring lithium batteries. The future might be bright.

From what I’ve heard it is actually hard to fall asleep after an extended time of being awake. I doubt the one mechanism discussed here is enough to explain all that is going on while sleep deprived.

You jest but EVs are a great way to compensate over night fluctuations. If we had a grid that supports it and enough EVs charging at home.

I think it is fine but we also need lessons to properly interact with the technology. Scams, fraud, disinformation and checking sources were handled very abstractly at best and archaic at worst.

One could argue that the threat of imitation is considerable. However we have not seen any open discussion of further attempts so that might be a mute point.

I’d say so yeah. I switched between headphones a lot recently and they don’t stand out. All headphones have their own sound anyway. I just embrace what they highlight and get to know my favourite songs again.

I’ve found that bone conducting headphones work well for this. They are even secure enough for running and climbing.

“A way out” is by the same devs and also pretty cheap. They had some good parts in there already but the shift to stylized characters definitely was the right call. A lot of yellow paint and weird interactions in the first one but still very enjoyable.

Those votes aren’t wasted. They receive additional funding to bolster the party and their future campaigns. They are however unrepresentative which is a shame but good things take time.

Rewe in central Germany got free range for 2.69€.

If I remember correctly the pressure came from credit card companies and not any government.

That explains it. My vegan friends love bees but consider it ethical enough to eat their products as they have an apiary at home.

Those are thickened with starch. They are vegan as far as I know.

This was achieved without the generation or use of toxic chemicals. The researchers explain that during the pyrolysis, the PVC insulation underwent rapid dichlorination and carbonization, which prevented the formation of harmful byproducts such as tar, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and dioxins.

Wood is plentiful. They are testing wether it is viable. This is the only way to find out whether it is smart or not.

What tiktok does is curate well. But I often find myself searching for new creators by what I already like. Tagging systems and smart groupings can help me customise my feed on my own but are really hard to do by hand. The problem with algos is that I get no say in what they hide and show. I would love my personal bias to be embedded by myself. The problem lies in who controls the algorithm and what their biases are.

This article at bbc references the time as misguided.

This article shows that measuring attention spans is not that easy and our world is more distracting. Not a good think but it does not blame the people.

This Booktuber got some sources and a nice way of presenting it.

One might argue I am splitting hairs and I do not blame you if you think that. I hope some people think harder about their focus and how to find some calm moments. Yet I say that while searching up sources because I got a mobile notification.

Current research suggests that declining attention is most likely caused by an expectation of quality rather than actual personal issues. Condensing information is a valuable skill an people do not have time for middle length content just to be disappointed.

I am not average then. I use tiktok to discover musicians, get short informative videos from science enthusiasts, and poetry or life advice.

Some of these are only possible because of the remarkable recommendation algorithm but I stay hopeful.
