  • It is out of control. But Russia seems occupied with occupying elsewhere, what could their reaction still be?

  • Your local library can be an awesome source for audiobooks. And don't forget to check your local thrift stores and flohmärkte once in a while, many audiobooks for 1 - 2 €, also many recent ones... Rip it, put it on your audiobookshelf, it is very easy and fast for most audiobooks.

  • that's a sales pitch, not a source.

  • So I looked into it a tiny bit, and I am not surprised. These tires can reduce noise a bit indeed: mainly FOR THE PEOPLE INSIDE THE CAR because those notice it more now where they used to not notice it much because of their own engine being louder in the cabin.

    Even if newer tires end up making it relatively more silent than older tires, the heavier vehicles (ever larger SUV's + very heavy battery) will probably mean it's a zero sum game compared to the old cars and tires. There is no magic tire eliminating the rubber-road surface noise. Cars on roads are noisy, the only thing effectively keeping the noise down is speed reduction in cities or building expensive tunnels.

  • Sources?

    Why would air drag be lower? Big SUV cube = big SUV cube. The only difference is lack of air intake grill in front.

    There are roads "near" me (750m - 1500 m) away with speed limits 80-120 km/h. That's already pretty damn far away compared to many other buildings in average cities, and there's lots of stuff in between me and the roads, like other buildings, parks, sound shield barriers next to the road, et cetera. Yet, when the wind is coming from that direction, it is very very loud, especially at night. Even at such far distance and it not being just open plains between the roads and me... I find it quite hard to believe there would suddenly be new fancy tires that reduces this noise, and mainly: why wouldn't the same tires be used on internal combustion cars then? There's also the "whisper" asphalt. Yeah, it means a dB or two less, but it sure as hell ain't fixing the problem completely for me.

  • Above about 30 km/h you don't hear the engines from traffic, but just the general "woosh" traffic noise. EV or ICE doesn't matter much in that regard. Exception being obnoxiously loudly 'tuned' engines, but those should just consequently be confiscated imo, especially if driven at night, while that is on purpose disturbing thousands of people's rest, it's sociopath behaviour

  • The entire "electric cars wills be quiet" is just a lie and/or misconception of what traffic noise is. If you live relatively near any street with a speed limit above 30 km/h, as most people do, you'll notice very little noise difference with 100 % electric cars and trucks imo. The noise comes from the road surface, the tires, the friction in general. An electric car at 50 km/h to me is louder than a new train at 150 km/h. Asphalt or concrete + rubber = noise at speed.

  • Because frontend webdevelopers use some very large framework to make things "look nicer" and don't care about resource optimisation? They do the opposite just for some silly colouring effect, shade etc. The old ugly stuff was a lot smaller and quicker to load.

  • Iceland looks to fast-track vote on joining EU

    Jump

  • You're right that populations and opinions change, but I think I remember reporting about more recent opinion polls suggesting it's still more than 70% "no". It's a shame, I would like it if Norway joins, but I just think it's still unlikely to happen.

  • Iceland is a very weak country compared to Norway. Has a small population and economy, worse geolocation towards USA, no major moneymachine resource like oil and no major savings fund like that Norwegian pension thingy and a government with bareley any public debt at all... Iceland could be an easy prey indeed. But Norway doesn't seem easy prey to me at all. Way harder geography to conquer and control, further away from USA, way larger and more diversified economy. And Norwegians have declined membership 2x already, while in Iceland there has never been a real referendum about it yet?

    I'm all in favor of both Iceland and Norway joining the EU, but I really don't see it happening any time soon for Norway, still not also not with recent international political developments.

  • Why would Norway suddenly join? Norwegians already voted against it twice. They are per capita one of the wealthiest countries (the government) in the world, they'd be netto paying loads and loads to EU. They already are in Schengen, got basically a lot of the EU open market advantages without membership. A large majority of Norwegians are still opposed to EU membership.

    Iceland is also in Schengen, but they suddenly feel very very threatened by the Greenland nonsense and Iceland is relatively a whole lot poorer, smaller, less people than Norway and a lot easier to invade and conquer (by USA)...

  • Of course there are many issues with the 'normalcy', but it was more predictable. For example not having to watch your back for your best, longest standing loyal ally to do the stupidest shit imaginable to your own country... I mainly meant it in the international politics, diplomacy sense.
