Logi

A vaccine’s efficacy is not the same thing as the success rate of a drug going through trials.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Amazon talked about as a book store.

I might trust Mozilla and I already have an account…

Either one hundred foot one or a hundred one foot ones.

This seems to be Portugal. The license plates have either an F or a P and that doesn’t look like a French plate.

I’d probably not even notice. But I live in Italy and I’ve seen some shit.

I’ve got a hot little Le Crouset simmering in the kitchen 🤤

Is it this iron cross that’s an exclusively Nazi symbol? Right up there with this one?

And you’re simply wrong that everyone knows the difference between this skull and crossbones and that one. Obviously the one on the SS cap is a bad one but no, people don’t generally keep track of the design details of skull insignia. What I’ll agree is that any skull tattoo should really make you wonder if perhaps we’re the baddies, but whatever. I find that St Pauli logo to be weird too.

And sure. Keep an eye on this guy. No disagreement. You’re just making some really strong claims about symbols and other people’s awareness.

Poking light fun at everyone, really. Including the Italian above and myself for living here and having taken on some of that.

And yes, I grew up eating spaghetti with minced beef and ketchup.

That’s rather important context.

The problem would then only be if they take a test made in a specific place with narrow paths and much traffic and apply it to all bikes everywhere.

For once the Italians have a reasonable rule that using bike lanes is mandatory only if they are not shared with pedestrians. Now to get them to stop walking on the separated bike paths…

I cycled up The Hill in Torino this morning. Definitely not flat, I can tell you. Strava estimates an average of 155W over 25 minutes for a leisurely 10km/h. Add another 100W and some pedaling to offset the heavier bike, and you’re going up quite fast enough.

Since I went browsing around, here are some images for comparison:

• Platner’s tattoo
• Nazi totenkopf
• Not Nazi

Yes, it’s a specific design and you should be careful with skulls but I’m not sure we should demand that everyone recognize the difference. I wouldn’t have until now if I’d seen them as line drawings. In embossed silver, sure…

And we need it fast. No time for steeping. Call it the Espresso Party!

We hate your freedom to put ketchup on pasta.

emit gazillion actions

Where emitting “actions” is German(?) for issuing stocks.

28 mph is 45 kph and about twice the speed at which assist is required to cut out in Europe.

This thing needs weight limits and its speed halved. There should also be a momentum limit on speed times weight so a heavier vehicle has to go slower.

What is this Artificial Inflation? I’ve seen no such thing.

Yup. All of that. And the modes got even weirder too.

Ooh been there done that, but with assembly language and direct register and video memory access, lol ancient memories…
