of course. I’m alluding to the fact that while theres been a significant improvement, we still in many places consume worrying amounts of lead.

That is still a very worrying sentence when the only safe level is 0

…are we the baddies?

Flat earthers all over the globe unite!

I mean, its better than nothing, right?

they are an invasive species

Thats mostly false in my experience, though that will depend on the locality i guess. On the contrary, a lot of garden plants are invasive in the local ecosystem

wtf is this bullshit

and more importantly, why is it so condescending?!

They use QMK, which really is keyboard firmware with added on mouse functionality

I dunno, the original Lotus esprit is still pretty cool in my book

they’re not wrong

… oh no

diesel? if only!

no?

if you get hit by a wall with infinite weight, moving at 1km/h, it has infinite energy, yet it will merely push you away

You have it backwards. Larger vehicles of course have more energy, but pedestrians are too light for that to make a difference.

If you get hit by an oil tanker ship going ~1 kmh, that ship has orders of magnitude more kinetic energy than a car at highway speed, yet, unless theres a wall or something, the ship will merely push you harmlessly aside.

Its about the manner of delivery, not the vehicles energy.

Larger cars are more dangerous because they hit you higher up, where you have more vital organs.

I agree, large cars are generally much more lethal to pedestrians, due to their shape, not kinetic energy.

Thats not how kinetic energy works, no pedestrian is heavy enough to stop any car, small or large.

eh, you know what, fair enough!

way to shift blame

oh wow I didn’t know that!

would make sense to give more a lot incentives for EV buying if so!
