It really is the least talked about benefit to public transport, yet is so significant. Sure you can't do too much but you can watch a show/movie, play a game, read, write, draw or even do your taxes and shop from your phone and laptop.

Certainly can't do that driving around. And it let's you relax and change from work mode to home mode. Even if you have to do a little drive to and from the station.

Plus like you mentioned, less chance of delays and being involved in accidents. Win win win win.

This person is a tankie, look at their history especially the pro North Korea stuff. Form your own opinions people, don't listen to propoganda from either side.

Fibre glass is essentially silica fibres with a trace amount of metal to make the fibre glass act the way it does. Guess what sand is also made of, silica with trace amounts of impurities. So when they break down it'll just be sand in the end. Not 'decomposable' but quite friendly to the environment still.

I doubt we'd ever have censorship here on Lemmy based on my understanding on how it works. If one instance starts censoring, people would just move to/make a new instance which is all still connected.

Unless I'm fucking misinformed?

Why is everyone so sharp with words here?

Should we stop pumping oil right this very minute? Do you think the world will be ready by 2050 to effectivly ban the sale of fossil fuel? We are yet to globally REDUCE carbon emissions, we've only decelerated so far and by a tiny amount. We are no where near ready to make the change. Unless you are willing to cause a massacre by shutting off the oil wells?

I want things to be better, you're right. And we all play a part in improving it. Right now I actually work in solar power infanstructure, is that pathetic? I vote against fossil fuels, and I am happy my country is cutting off gas and forcing people to be more electric.

I have helped contribute to some of these other issues I have metioned also and donate and invest in the future.

If you can draw a conclusion on a person so quickly and determine them to be pathetic, then what are you doing that makes you so special? Because, unfortunately, there is only so much a single person can do.

Yeah I'm really starting to notice this exactly. It's sad to think that you either disengage or get unwarranted abuse hurlded towards you from every direction.

Maybe just getting off the internet entirely is the better option.

I liked your reference of the Overton window though haha

And what about my left wing opinions? Would the right wing accept me or would they be as friendly as you lot are?

The Pilot G2 and the Parker Quink Gels are great for refillable pens too! Dry ink is always an annoyance

So wait, what things make me a pathetic coward? Could you make a list?

And if it is only relating to fossil fuels, I'd wager 99.99% of the population doesn't want fossil fuels to be banned without replacements or serious societal change. Does that make 99.99% of people also pathetic cowards?

Then who goes first? Do we all agree at once to stop using? Or will militaries be exempted because you and I both know that no government is sabotaging their own power.

How would country's that export oil react do you think? Certain economies almost entirely depend on it, do they just cease to exist at once?

Would there be exceptions for agriculture or would some communities have to starve to death?

What about exemptions for building the replacing technology, or should we cease to use power at all and ration what remains?

There is more complexity to the issue you deem so simple to fix. If you had complete control of the world, how would you go about eliminating fossil fuels without being guillotined by 8 billion people?

I've found two that work but one is playing up, just append your key where there is [KEY] and save the shortcut

https://2fa.zone/2fa/KEY (broken but https://2fa.zone/ works)

I've stabbed myself with fibre optic and I do agree, it's not nice, a lot better than unexploded ordanance though so I didn't think of the injury implications.

Sports decide themselves, of which world rowing and boxing have blanket bans. Athletics, cycling, swimming, rugby and cricket are bans if the transition was after puberty. Triathlon, tennis and archery requires testosterone testing. And all other sporting bodies are on a case by case basis.

That's why we don't see them because the Olympics themselves have said:

high-level organised sporting competitions - relies on a level playing field, where no athlete has an unfair and disproportionate advantage over the rest.

I'm tired of replying to everyone, please put more effort into your argument

I assumed being centrist was already clear.

Mudwrestle? I'm here to make a point, that not everything is back and white, left or right. But if you don't want to discuss, fine by me. I didn't insult you once so your insult is quite hypocritical and immature infact.

No, I'm not, I'm comparing how so many commenters are unfriendly here to the point of insulting and abuse.

I know the right act the same and have treated me the same. Therefore I belong nowhere, not accepted from the left, not accepted from the right.

So I'm neither, cue being a centrist.

And that's why I use a url on my desktop to a 2fa generator that also decodes it with the 2fa key as an argument. It's like a password sticky note on the monitor, but for 2fa haha.

I didn't, I cited the literal Olympics. I have cited medical studies, and I have defended my position where everyone then returns to insults and statements like this.

Unless you have evidence that what I said was incorrect, you are infact wrong. One, only ONE person has cited one study that is inconclusive and I congratulated them because at least they showed there is some conflicting research but you haven't even bothered to try.

If you are going to throw your opinion around, at least back it up with weight. Cite studies, link articles, or form a proper argument, because if I can refute your claim before I've even had my morning coffee than you still have room to make a half decent point.

I can chime in and say the cardo spirit is great, I've used mine on two helmets which I have some tips for. When you use the sticky base, assume you're never getting it off, cause I couldn't haha. The helmet clip although seems flimsy at first holds up really well too, but it's difficult to install.

You may have noticed already that putting on your helmet already folds your ears pretty bad. The extra speaker width makes it 2x worse and a lot harder to unfold your ear. I recommend a ski mask always.

Lastly these systems work well with ear protection, or at least cardo does, but as you could imagine the speakers are almost screaming at you at full blast. Although it sounds like a moderate volume to you, when you walk around it's blasting music and sounds to everyone else. I remember accidentally forgetting this and taking my helmet off walking into a petrol station with hearing protection still in, I only found out when I pulled one ear out to talk to the attendant when I was already in line for a minute, felt like a total douche haha

Overall though, the spirit is great, music is great, calls are great, speakers are great, battery, volume, durability, water resistance, all great.

Most certainly not! Haha, you'd need a lot more information than just the key like what the 2fa is for, a username and password. But if your internet access is ever spoofed by someone or there is a hacker that traces your IP address back and tracks your activity, that information can be found.

It should only ever be used for non important things.

Those are some great linked videos.

I agree with a lot of points in the video on trans-athletes. I wonder if the meta-study that I've been refering to was one of the studies mentioned, and there certainly needs to be more research into the topic to settle the matter for good. I think social and low stake competition should most certainly be non restricted especially for kids, the fact they are restricted in some places is obscene. But I'm still on the fence with professional and Olympic level sports. The part that currently holds me back from changing stance, is how many Olympic sports have either banned or heavily restricted participation. Perhaps they are in the wrong themselves but I suspect they are being cautious until more studies have confirmed one way or the other. Overall, I certainly don't hold my view in high regard and I'm just waiting for more evidence, but like I said, anything other than professional or Olympic shouldn't be restricted at all, any strength difference there is negligible.

With the guns part I agree with everything mentioned. I don't think a free gun ownership system like what America has, is a smart idea. My country is very restrictive which is why I dislike the idea of completely banning them. Where I am, even the plastic toy guns were made illegal. Only if you live on a farm and need to protect livestock or produce, then you're allowed to own some. Good thing is, no mass shootings here and only some gun crime. It would be nice if tough but fair licensing was more-so available, but nothing like America.

I'll try substantiating the last paragraph without it getting too long. Fossil fuel bans are just not possible at the moment and even when it is, there will likely be some things we will never replace, even backup generators when black outs happen for hospitals. Making it really expensive and hard to acquire should be all that's needed. Military for defence because I don't think the world will be truely at peace for a while longer. Free-speech so ideas don't go suppressed, but that doesn't mean people have to respect that free-speech. Strict immigration to bring in valuable skills not just people (pronounced problem where I am). 'PC' culture ties into free speech but also reducing diversity hires (not requiring names and personal information in hiring to make such decisions truely unbias would be a better solution). Keeping some merit success with a socialist system to reward people to achieve more.
