if you are a russian soldier and you aren’t an idiot

Isn’t this is a bit like “if you are a person writing in the Fediverse and you don’t have lungs”?

Russland greift Deutschland an -> “Wir schlagen gegen deutschen Linksextremisten.”

Wie sehr sehr logisch.

What a weird way of writing a news article!

overcome days with insufficient sunlight by switching to wind power generation to produce electricity.

So, they basically turn on the wind when there is no sunlight? And if there is enough sunlight, they don’t need it to be windy, so the wind is not kept on?!
Obviously the idea is that the reader figures out that this is just North Koreans saying North Korean things. But yes, solar power is nice because you can rely on it. And it makes sense for a country in a situation such that of North Korea.

Something called Matic was mentioned in a comment above. Any knowledge on that?

Cheeks are a part of the human body where the different pheromones are easiest to record. They telll information about the immune system, and hold the “personal smell” that everyone has (and which isn’t really a smell at all, because pheromones are observed with a different system than actual smells are). When you get your nose near someone’s cheek, you record a lot of personal data about them in your subconscious.

You receive information about how healthy your children would be likely to be, and also your subconscious gets irrefutable proof of “I am currently very close with person ______.”

Plus the other reasons mentioned here. But the most important one is that it’s a way to get your nose near their cheek.

My home instance was sopuli.xyz, but the community in question was on lemmy.ml indeed. I haven’t written anything on .ml ever since.

Why were some left behind?

Ohhh!

And I am also a Lemmy refugee! 🤪

I mentioned the concentration camps China uses for Uyghurs, and I mentioned them with a rather mild wording. *blam*! Comment deleted! By one of the main people maintaining Lemmy. Hooray. I really didn’t want to play on their sandbox after that.

Somebody happened to mention Piefed in some /c/ just a couple of days later and now I’m here :)
Feels much more like home to me! 🙂

A Fecesbook refugee :)

(Okay, there’s one group that is too valuable for me. And another one where people really need help with trying to save the world and I write answers beginning with "yeah, this will work, but there are caveats. I’ll write more on the Fediverse side of our group, here’s the link: ", and then I write a longer text here on Piefed and add the link in the end of my FB comment.)

More sense than cannon teens? What makes more sense than cannon teens?

The right wingers can say all they want to.
Relevant is only whether the judge listens to those right-wingers or uses their own eyes.

They have enough evidence in the videos. Can’t the court just get it on with that evidence alone? It’s not as if there was anything terribly unclear about the case.

Which of these have military presence by the Russia? Most?

That presence is in the process of disappearing, which will mean action for all those countries…

His answer would have been (and this is a fact):
“Bicycling is extremely good for one’s health. When there are more hills, the health benefits get even bigger. Do you not care of public health? Why are bicyclers not important to you?”

Most of the time I’ve been arguing with people on moronic SCAFT-based solutions, the reaction has been: “But this was done for safety! You bikers are an impossible and reckless bunch. It’s about your safety, and the safety of all the light traffic”

(“light traffic” is the phrase used to mean the combined pedestrian and bicycle traffic. As opposed to “traffic”. Which is people going to their work and doing other important things.

Oh, check this one out. It’s somewhat near to where I work, and used to be on the fastest way to where I used to live :)

Of course, the photo flattens the climb. But, go along the road and look at the height of that rock, comparing it to the height of a car. They made sure to route the bicycle path over the highest point of the hill. A bit more to the left or right, and there would have been much less hill. Also, along the road, there is a spot where the railings are a bit higher, because there’s a outdoor excercise way passing undeneath the road by a tunnel. Of course, the bicycle path comes back down from the top of that rock to the bottom of that ditch to reach the intersection for the tunnel. And then you climb up again! Hooray!

Oh believe, there are other ones among us two who share your sentiment!

…new?!

If there is one policemen arresting an ICE officer, the ICE officer is not allowed to resist the arrest. If there is one policemen arresting an ICE officer, surrounded by 20 ICE officers, none of the 20 ICE officers are allowed to resist the arrest.

And if they nevertheless do, that gets very interesting in court. Resisting an arrest is not a terribly good idea.

Shortly put:
A traffic design philosophy where officially the goal is to separate cars and pedestrians fully, building cities so that you can walk between places completely without being obstructed by lanes built for cars in any manner.
An important part of the SCAFT design philosophy is also that moving outdoors is important. For that reason, a SCAFT-designed area has circular paths for jogging, and bicycle paths are designed to make small detours in order to go over hills instead of past them, so that bicycling would be a more efficient form of physical excercise.

A core thought enshrined in SCAFT is that moving within one’s own neighbourhood happens exclusively by walking and moving between neighbourhoods happens exclusively by car or public transportation.
Walking and bicycling are seen purely as forms of physical excercise; a hobby. The idea that you could ride a bicycle to work is diametrically opposed to the SCAFT design philosophy.

The effect has been that cars have relatively fast roads to use for getting from district to another and are fully separated from other forms of traffic. In practical terms this is a system for reducing all distractions to driving your private car within urban city structure. Since inter-district traffic does not happen by muscle power, those are given very little thought. This has caused a lot of deaths when car drivers used to driving in their own peace have not remembered to think about existence of bicycles when turning. Their ways are elsewhere and very important thoroughfares cross the cars’ routes in very unintuitive places. Because the bicycle routes were never designed as a sensible network and bikes take routes over points where two districts’ physical excercise infrastructures intersect each other.

Helsinki has cars and sidewalks everywhere, but it still isn’t really walkable. A very typical distance from where people live to where any necessary services are is 10 to 15 km. That’s a 2½ h to 4 h walk. per direction.

It’s a bicyclable city, but even that just barely. And that requires a rather fast bicycling speed, which causes its own problems, especially since we had the SCAFT street design philosophy for a long time, promoting an idea that riding a bicycle is just a form of being a pedestrian.

So, you can definitely have a city that has sidewalks everywhere but is still not realistically walkable. The core of the city is, though, but living there is expensive, so in Helsinki only the richest have the privilege to live in a walkable city.

EDIT: Found a random Youtube video that showcases the walkability of Helsinki very well. It begins in a suburb and takes the shortest way to a hipster area near the centre of Helsinki. 24 km. Could be walked, but not many want to. The city is applauded for being very lush and green. But. The distances are a very slightly little bit excessive-ish?
