Depends where you live. In Colorado there’s no minimum age to be a motorcycle passenger. In California, the minimum age is eight, So you would need to find some alternate transportation.
I think that’s limited to the US. In Thailand, kids ride motorcycles from a very young age, and don’t exhibit the crazy driving on that they do here. I think if more families drove motorcycles, it would no longer be considered cool or extreme, and that behavior would disappear. It reminds me of the high drinking age situation in the United States. When people here start drinking, they end up in emergency room, which is not the case in Europe, where they have a much lower drinking age.
More lanes only helps the car manufacturers. A nice train system up and down the front range would be great. Would also help people get their 10,000 steps in every day walking to the train.
Everyone sitting in line day in day out, breathing each other's fumes is not healthy either: https://dceg.cancer.gov/news-events/news/2023/ultrafine-poll... The motorcycles also aren't contributing to traffic congestion. The auto industry wants to sell big cars with high profit margins, they don't care about your lung cancer when you're 60 years old.
Pollution caused by congestion and manufacturing cars kills everyone. By riding a bike people can put their money where their mouth is regarding views on climate change; you're making a statement that says "I'm putting the environment ahead of my personal safety". Also, if you convert enough people, motorcycle riding becomes safer for everyone. Getting bumped by another 150lb Vespa isn't as nasty as getting hit by a "green" 6000lb tesla truck.
They say 10% of traffic being replaced by motorcycles reduces congestion by 40%. California has pretty good weather so it's probably feasible to commute by motorbike almost every day.
It would be nice if they brought back train service from Denver to Ft. Collins and Laramie. In Europe you can go so many places with just a bicycle and a train ticket.
Lol popular science explains: “by ancient alien technology portal, we meant the technology is alien to us (modern Americans), and the portal is possibly to another adjacent room”. Obv the confusion is unfounded.
I remember hearing somewhere that cells keep absorbing the ink, die, then release the ink in a cycle as an explanation to why the tattoos blur over time. If the ink immersed cells are forced to die and regrow at a faster rate than surrounding cells, there is a higher risk of mutations?
I’m sure this happens all the time in Hollywood. I’ve seen lots of movies thinking, “oh I guess they couldn’t get Jack Black for this role”, or Johnny Depp, or whoever it seemed like the part was intended for.
They’re not especially similar. I think the talking style is very close, people say it is flirty in the same way as the film. You can’t copyright look and feel though, can you?
I really like the voice. They should have kept it, and it’s not really her voice, so… Hopefully there will be a way to have it as an option in the future.
I can't think of a great application either. Maybe if you want to map camera movements when converting an animated scene from 2d to 3d. It'd probably be easier just to start from scratch though. Simple polygons with a toon shader would work for simpsons and family guy im sure.
The cheaper insurance can offset this. If you pay $30/month for minimum coverage , versus $300 for comprehensive, that’s 3200/year. If you get totaled only once every three years, you’ll have 10k toward a new car.
I don’t understand what new codes they would need to follow, these buildings were already made to be occupied by people, with all applicable codes covered.
My fav takeaway is that no one is angry at them. They built nice homes for 10 and 40k. If they were to do it legally, it would cost 900k. Where are the extra 850 Ks going? Transit workers probably don’t make much money in the first place, maybe they should be provided housing anyway.
Yeah when I read the title I thought they were covering the old dish with mirrors and putting a collector at the focal point. This is much less interesting :(
Public facing course for building fpv drones for use against Russia. Videos are in Ukrainian, but google auto translate works well. They cover currently used parts, what works, what doesn't.
Any links to how to build these at home? Like a 10 to 15 foot version? It'd be really interesting to find out how to keep the plants' roots from clogging the water supply.
I was thinking about this the other day. They always confiscate prisoners’ cigarettes because they’re used as money. This actually makes the cigarettes more valuable if a prisoner can hold on to them. Imagine the look on the prisoners’ faces if the prison issued free and unlimited cigarettes to everyone. The entire economy would implode.
It’s good to expose kids to aggression, understand group behavior, working as a team, also good for physical/mental health. Learning a little aggression/to recognize aggression is good later in life. I don’t like the stereotype of the smart nerd being taken advantage of by the less smart bro he works for.
Probably the best thing for the young chimpanzees is to be out of the house most of the time, be put into a bunch of sports/programs. At that age they start to resent their parents, and they learn a lot more when they're outside doing stuff.
