I don’t think automatic transmissions are in any way responsible for car centric urban planning, Europe has plenty of it and the transition to automatics is very slow and quite recent.

I agree far too many people are allowed to drive when they shouldn’t but people dying on the road is more socially acceptable than stringent standards for being allowed to operate lethal machines at insanely high speeds (in terms of kinetic energy at least).

At the current rate (which may or may not hold and may or may not be legitimate) the initiative should beat “One of Us”, the biggest one yet with 1.9M signatures (pro-life, ultimately did nothing).

They are supposed to meet with the seven people who first put the initiative forward. It won’t change their minds if they’re already against the initiative but if they don’t care it may sway them to hear it explained to them. I have zero expectations since EU bureaucrats live in a parallel dimension but there’s some hope something happens.

They’re supposed to meet with European bureaucrats so yes, they’ll need support.

We need to beat the previous record of “One of Us” with their 1.9M signatures!

Tea, Earl Grey, hot.

Nach 30 Sekunden sagt das Teufelchen in der Lokomotive “SiFa, SiFa, SiFa”. Danach maximale Bremsung.

You think British people have free speech? They get the police knocking at their door for dark jokes on social media.

Les préjugés ont la vie dure. Ce sont des remarques dignes d’adolescents.

Don’t worry the cork will still be filled with microplastics from the soil used to grow it to the adhesive used to bind it.

If they get fined often they’ll stop.

Probablement, après ça arrive rarement et c’est difficile de les blâmer pour une brique de lait qui est endommagée pour une raison indéterminée, par exemple. Autant en profiter pour avoir des bons d’achat en échange, ça ne coûte que quelques minutes d’envoyer un courriel.

Quand vous avez un produit alimentaire abîmé (quand vous ne savez pas comment et que ce n’est pas parce que vous l’avez oublié dans un placard dix ans), se plaindre à la marque ça a l’air de systématiquement fonctionner, quand ma femme le fait elle a toujours des bons d’achat bien au-delà de la valeur du produit.

Can’t judges requisition anyone as a Marshal and send them to capture ICE thugs held in contempt? I don’t think that will happen but maybe it should.

Dernier examen puis les résultats à la fin de la semaine. 😅

In English they’re called reflex cameras. No one makes them now.

Pas vu beaucoup de naturistes aptes au trampoline.

Brita filters are cheaper per litre (you can do more than 100l per filter if it’s for a kettle) and create less waste. Personally I only change the filter when I notice residue in the kettle and it’s been so long I have to clean out the jug with citric acid so I clean the kettle at the same time.

They’re the same tracks in most places as far as I know.

Amtrak relies on other companies to run their trains, how much do they spend on infrastructure? Probably not as much as for roads, but the comparison isn’t great.
