Interpretation
Proximity to traffic and high air interchange increased the exposure to air pollution of commuters using motorised transport. Larger inhalation rates and commuting time increased inhaled dose among active commuters. Benefits of active commuting from physical activity are larger than the risk from an increased inhaled dose of fine particles.

I’ve often wondered about the net effect. Interesting.

Recently our county sheriff put out an Amber Alert (a forced alert on all mobile devices) but the obfuscated link resolved to Twitter.

I wonder what portion of the public saw the Twitter login page and just closed the tab, never to see the details of the child abduction.

Reggie immediately chooses violence and Betty is so ready to conspire.

This Is a Religion for People

As opposed to a religion for droids?

I wonder how many Primer viewers first learned about the film from this comic.

An EV engineer friend of mine said that this is specifically the Hertz Teslas because Tesla parts are expensive and sometimes hard to get. So when a Tesla breaks, they sell it rather than repair it.

I rented a Bolt EV from Hertz once. The car was fine, but the charging stations in the area were mostly broken, or they required downloading an app and giving personal information to charge.

I got the feeling the charging networks are all about collecting government incentives and the sale of private information from subscribers, and not at all about service.

My new preferred rental car is no rental car at all.

Ohm my god, right‽

I enjoyed the humor, but the OP did set a boundary of [serious].

So I guess what we are learning here is that setting boundaries is always going to provoke some people to break those boundaries out of spite.

The conviction was about a year after the crimes, which is a lot faster than I would expect than in my country. 5.5 years does seem light to me, too.

The rhetoric is still somewhat apologetic to the perpetrators. Like “it’s difficult for students to resist due to a sense of closeness to their teachers” doesn’t say anything about rank, authority, and power that teachers have over students. And “checking whether a teacher is under excessive pressure” seems to redirect fault away from the perpetrator.

Long ago “drive” meant urging an animal to move forward. And “dialing” a phone number meant entering the “digits” by turning a rotary dial with your digits.

Words aren’t as static as you seem to think.

A lot of Brazil is in the tropics, so no, not winter kinda latitudes.

But Brazil also extends to something like 33° South, where winter starts in June.

I’m going to go look for an update on DeepSqueak…
