I know this has been done before, but here's a 1:1 scale 3D print of my actual brain. The hospital that did my MRI let me have the files.

Funny, I always pictured the brain a bit bigger. Maybe due to TV series and such and because I couldn't really judge what the size would be based on the head.
It sparked a controversial question in my mind, does a bigger brain make you smarter (so big headed people could be smarter). One page I came across (which looked at least a little legit) was this: Stanford Ask a neuroscientist

I think we should (politely) message major hobby subreddits that went public to go private again. It's important to continue the protest.

I think one of the big problems is that the mods are just as 'addicted' to reddit as the users are. The mods don't want to lose their community. If it's not for all the work that went into it and the joy they get out of it or for providing a community for a niche group, it's for the 'powertrip' of being a mod.
So it's also a case of selfdiscipline. Are they able to restrict themselves.

What are you riding?

I have a VanMoof S5. I wanted an ebike to do some riding around town to avoid taking the car everywhere. And it succeeded. I take my bike for all rides that can be done in 40 minutes or less (one way). So that shaves quite a bit off my car usage.
Would I buy it again? If Veloretti didn't bring out their ace two, I would've said 'yes'. Now, I would at least test ride the Veloretti. The customer service of VanMoof is shit. I've send them two messages about different subjects. The oldest one is 1,5 month old and they never replied (outside their automatic replies). They said they would reply within 5 business days, and they can even make money if they reply. I knew this upfront, so it was a calculated 'risk'.
