  • Super Bowl fans whine over Kendrick Lamar's halftime show - 'DEI only goes one direction'

  • Got a little platform in all your Nazis*

  • eggs in japan

    Jump

  • Much of Japan is very very clean in general. People take a lot of pride in that!

  • Uniquely American

    Jump

  • Surprised to see Japan at ~40

  • Explaining green transportation policy to normies

    Jump

  • Or design cities to have better bike lanes, light rail, etc.

    It's really hard to imagine in most US cities, and it was hard to believe when I lived there.

    I'm in a very commuting-friendly place now and the small towns having easy access to good public transport is just reality, and it feels fantastic.

    I hope someday more places will adopt that type of design mentality

  • Always a dilemma

    Jump

  • "Eat the skin too you coward"

    Totally agree. Also onions are usually plenty big and abundant enough where some "waste" is fine

  • What are some examples of 'common sense' which are nonsense?

    Jump

  • Lemme try my favorite way to explain the birthday problem without getting too mathy:

    If you take 23 people, that's 253 pairs of people to compare (23 people x22 others to pair them with/2 people per pair). That's a lot of pairs to check and get only unique answers

  • Should Canada Join The EU?

    Jump

  • Not for vacation or something they don't, but it is progressively getting tighter

  • Psst, the Americans are asleep, post some eggs

    Jump

  • Denmark checking in, it was like $3 USD for 10 eggs yesterday, and Denmark isn't cheap

  • Germany: 160,000 people protest against far-right party in Berlin

    Jump

  • Oh, duh, that's fantastic

  • Germany: 160,000 people protest against far-right party in Berlin

  • Can you explain it for me? The aFd one? I know the AFD party of course

  • CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed. (Including gender, transgender, pregnant person, LGBT, and more)

    Jump

  • What's the opposite of eating the onion? That happened to me just now too

  • Do you need to adjust your speedometer if you change the size of your tires?

    Jump

  • Well there's lots of ways to measure speed. Some use a worm gear in the transmission, some use a sensor on the wheel hub. But all of them take tire diameter into account, unless you count like GPS, which afaik (though probably some really shitty privacy invading car may prove me wrong) isn't a thing for speedometers and odometers

    So yes, all production cars, I believe.

  • Do you need to adjust your speedometer if you change the size of your tires?

    Jump

  • You're absolutely right!

    I don't know of a single car that it wouldn't affect, but there could be some using a gps speed instead? Sounds like a bad idea to me

  • Do you need to adjust your speedometer if you change the size of your tires?

    Jump

  • Well, I'd argue it's not a blanket "no". I've owned 9 crotch rockets and all? Of them had speed sensors on front sprockets. A lot of similar or the same designs within, so surely it's off ABS rings if they're newer, but a fair few of them have had speed deviations because of that

  • Do you need to adjust your speedometer if you change the size of your tires?

    Jump

  • Hi! I was a controls engineering in the automotive industry in the US for a while.

    Yup. You sure should! Some cars even have tire dimensions and quick selections of winter/summer tires for exactly that. Some cars make it much harder/impossible to do.

    Same with motorcycles if you swap sprockets of course (a common modification)

    Edit: seems bikes are a pretty mixed bag where the speed sensor is. Your mileage (and speed) may vary there

  • It's been years

    Jump

  • Fun fun fun fun fun

  • It really is like this

    Jump

  • I do feel for you, I know life in the US has gotten much worse recently and I feel that's accelerating.

    I'm not so sure life in China is better per se, but it is different.

    I will probably blanket statement this and say life in the EU seems a lot better than in the US now, though with plenty of problems depending on where you go. I say this as someone who left the US for the EU.

  • It really is like this

  • I lived and worked outside Shanghai for a bit, but it was a while ago and probably has changed a good bit. What makes you think their lives are far better off than those in the states?

    Not necessarily disagreeing, but it absolutely was not the case 15 years ago. American life is on a downhill though, zero argument there.

  • Forced to use Facebook to interact with local groups and businesses. How do I keep my data safe?

    Jump

  • This is extremely relevant to me as well.

    I need even less interaction than most. I just need to check a private group I'm part of for events. Any way to extract that info into something else nicely?

    I see the recommendations for FBPurity and the Firefox container, both of which I'll use on desktop. I was hoping for something for mobile too but just desktop is probably fine
