  • Driver claims cyclist punched him in face and threw bike at car, causing £1,000 worth of damage, after motorist hit him “at about 2mph”

  • I do too and I actively advocate for the same when I'm a passenger. That doesn't mean the reaction described above is in any way normal - of another driver did the same I'd also think they had some kind of mental issues.

  • That's the ideal the commentor is talking about, this isn't reality. A significant number of peer reviewed papers are being published without replicable results or any hint of a falsifiable hypothesis.

  • Whats more to the point, it's not science.

  • In a way I find pop sciency types that go after religion even worse. Like science doesn't argue anything about religion, it's set up to be unprovable - so don't argue, if it's not falsifiable it's not science you're just grinding a personal axe.

  • How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027)

  • I'd argue that if it doesn't do calls it's not really a phone.

    Edit: Also most of the phones are pretty ancient, the newest one is 4 years old, are 7-8+.

  • That seems like an oversimplification, outside looking in for me, but there's no way a single dimension could ever adequately describe an item of clothing - my sister and wife have similar sized waists, but something tight round the posterior on my wife would be baggy on my sister.

  • Ha, my point was more that the bandsaw wasn't tracking straight so all the blanks on the bottom are bigger, the seamstress runs a hem 10mm (more or less) from the edge so the dimension remains out and the QA guy couldn't give a fuck because it's 8:30 on a Friday night and he's been working 21 days straight.

    Even the same garment is going to have a different size in different countries, large in Italy, medium in UK etc etc. the real size is somewhere in between, but no one makes that level of granularity.

    You should watch some of these garments being made, it's mind blowing.

    Cutting blanks and this is a tame/slow process Vs some other factories I've seen on the tube.

  • What makes you think it's so mechanised? Material is often cut on bandsaw in stacks inches thick, they're sewn on machine, sure, but manually controlled by a human. Different designers, different factories, different QA levels.

  • I read a thing (not sure if it's true) that the reason there's no pockets in women's clothing is that women have more diverse body shapes than men. Pockets are designed not to interrupt the lines of the garment where possible - it's more straightforward to place men's pockets because they're going to be in a more predictable place when worn Vs women where it ends up making the clothes fit poorly.

  • Life imitates art

  • It's an interesting example, it's not unheard of in rare old car circles to "restore" a car from a few parts, like literally starting with a fender and building an entirely new car from there.

  • Why are so many European countries getting worried about encryption and/or age verification? Why now?

  • Most of this was happening or initially attempted long before the current Gaza situation, so it's not that.
