3 seconds is the minimum safe distance, regardless of speed

365.25 days I believe is the better approximation because it’s the rough time it takes Earth to be in the same spot - hence the leap years

Yeah, that’s pretty much how it looks like for me

Gas valves famously use the opposite direction

This is, reportedly, a comment under, reportedly, a post

Yeah… I can’t think of more even including regionalisms

Yep, the step forward would be to regulate licensing in a consumer-friendly way. Not going back to buying every song or album separately.

But it’s also a 10% over which in western world we have quite a lot of control. You can vote for local governments that want to expand public transport. You can demand more bike paths and pedestrian friendly infrastructure in your neighborhood. There are multiple examples around the world (even in the USA) of communities or even whole cities significantly reducing car-centrism over several years.

It’s wrong to blame people for using plastic packaging when there’s no feasible alternative. It’s wrong to force people to go beyond their comfort by using less electricity or heating because governments didn’t transform the energy sources.

But each gram of CO2 matters and when reducing emissions doesn’t require much effort or sacrifices (like voting) then we all absolutely should do our part.

Wireless communications radiation physically cannot cause increased mutation rates and this is quite well studied. Wireless communication operates on frequencies (for the most part) below 10GHz, which has wavelengths measured in centimeters and meters. The biggest wave that can impact human DNA is UV which has wavelengths measured in nanometers - orders of magnitude of difference. So no, wireless communications are super unlikely to impact cancer rates.

A fridge and dishwasher! Food safety is such a huge contribution to our health

Interesting. Ubuntu/PopOS screenshot tool freezes the screen upon hitting the button. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the cursor feature

We’re still talking about the mouse cursor, right?

It’s actually beneficial for controlling your health to monitor piss and poo. Not to obsessively investigate it. But just to know what’s normal for you so you know when to worry.

That was the ancient Greeks I believe

Headlights definitely need more regulation but this issue is very amplified in SUVs which are much underregulated. They have mismatched bumper heights to other cars causing more damage, they drag pedestrians underneath causing more injuries. I personally see no point for modern SUVs existing at all, but let’s at least make sure they are safe on roads.

If you can’t open 90% of pdfs sent from different sources then you’re the problem

120 Celsius is still fairly low for baking

Okay, but genuinely in what cases the borrow checker caused issues for you? Cause I use Rust for a few years now and have not yet encountered the infamous fight with the borrow checker.

Also, there’s a “new” and “better” borrow checker coming in 2024 edition.

As I understand this “question by proxy” can be even more effective because people are less likely to lie about Musk than about their political views
