What supplements did you take?

I would very much like to know the contents of VdL's Signal messages with Pfizer's CEO for one. I don't think we ever got any transparency on that particular issue.

I read an article in the German press about it a few weeks ago, she had her tattoo equipment with her and that was what aroused suspicion. According to her and her friend it was so she could tattoo her friend during her visit.

Thanks. Poor scarecrow, what did he do wrong?

What are the changes? I still have my childhood copy of What Do People Do All Day and my daughter loves it, might get her some of the other Busytown books.

Maybe because they make your dinner so damn tasty you end up eating more than you should.

You must live in a gigantic city if several dozen pedestrians die in car accidents every year. In the entire country of Germany last year a total of 177 pedestrians were killed in traffic accidents where cars were involved and the driver at fault.

>I have plenty of experience with what it is like to walk and cycle in busy streets, and I do not wish to force that upon my neighbors

I wouldn't want to force people into things in general, period. From what I can tell, most people are just fine with a car-centric lifestyle. Barely anyone is evangelizing to cyclists that they should give up their bicycles and drive cars instead. I wouldn't want to force you to drive a car. I can tell you about the many benefits but I'll do so without moralizing or finger-wagging and ultimately the choice is yours. The same can't be said of many bicycle activists, they seem to be just fine with using any and all means to shove their lifestyle down everyone's else's throat.

You didn't respond to my question as to whether you were forced to live next to seven lane traffic, so I'll assume it was a choice. Why would you choose to move there in the first place if you hate the sound of cars so much? That's the rough equivalent of a car enthusiast deciding to move to Amsterdam and then complaining about the cyclists on the road.

From what data does your infographic draw from?

The "whataboutism" is to determine whether your particle concerns are limited to cars, which indicates an ideologically driven anti-car crusade, or whether particles of everything and anything in general disturb you in your everyday life.

How often do collisions with pedestrians occur at 50 km/h? If the pedestrian doesn't literally jump in front of the car from an somewhere he's visually obscured, there's usually time to stomp on the brakes. I've done it multiple times with cyclists riding in the wrong direction on the bicycle lane, over crosswalks where they should be dismounting, or just plain "jaycycling".

We clearly have different views on what's quiet and what's not. If I'm on my terrace I can hear cars when they drive past, but not inside my home and it being a 30 zone it doesn't bother me. Were you forced to live next to seven lanes of traffic, where I assume the limit is much higher than 30-50 km/h?

I don't have much to say about tire particles and whatnot. Are you just as much against microplastics in food and cosmetics?

If you've never gotten a license, it surprises me you're so against something you've never tried. I tried cycling for about a year and a half. I learned I don't like sweating profusely in summer, getting rained on in spring or fall, or riding on snow in winter. I can drive to work and drop my child off at kindergarten in 15 minutes, with a bicycle and a trailer it would take me more than 45 if the weather is good. I don't need to hurry home after grocery shopping and I only need to shop once every week or two, as opposed to two to three times a week if I'm limited to what I can fit into a backpack, and I don't need to drink tap water since I can fit a few crates of mineral water in my trunk. The risk of getting my car stolen is lower than my bicycle getting stolen, which has happened in the past. You're absolutely right, it's not rocket science. Foe me the choice is clear.

I still don't know what you mean by trips per hour.

It was, then Amazon added streaming and jacked up the price massively. In the past 10 or so years of being a Prime subscriber I've used their streaming services probably less than twenty times. Not a fan of "everything" subscriptions because you inevitably end up paying for services you don't want or need.

The risk of deadly collisions, particularly when most people are going 30-50 km/h in the city and driving modern cars, is already low.

Modern cars are also quiet with emissions nothing like the cars of our grandparents.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by trips per hour and how one is supposed to conveniently commute outside of one's neighborhood, particularly with small children and shopping?

>Build for people, not cars.

Do you mean build for pedestrians and cyclists, not motorists?

On the other hand, in Berlin you also get entire blocks threatened with being forced to move out because the "temporary" covid-era bike path which never went away causes problems for the fire department in case of an emergency evacuation.

(Article in German)

Yeah just context.

I usually find it amusing.

„Was meinst, kriegen wir das hin?“

„Safe Digga, das ist so was von easy.“

And they think they're so cool talking like that.

The part that irritates me though is when I try to pronounce Denglish stuff with a German accent and the Germans end up not understanding me. I made a joke about strippers once and got only blank looks, then one guy said, "oh, you mean strippers," pronouncing it the way you'd say it in English as best as he could. I had pronounced it schtrippas.

Sounds super legit. Were you also a member of the team behind the online breast examinations during lockdown?

I would also like to know this. I got mine for 12€ a while back and it looks to be going for around 20€ now.

I don't get a seal on my respirator if I grow my beard out.

At what point would you draw the line for direct action?

What would you advocate for then in place of the democratic process?

They could form a new political party or join an existing one and take part in the democratic process.

In one instance they gave up the IP address of an email user to law enforcement (with a warrant I believe).

I have a Sonos portable speaker that works via bluetooth. I bought it because I couldn't find anything else on the market with a replaceable battery. Having to connect to the Internet to set it up in the Sonos app irritated me, but that was something I could live with, and I can play music directly from the Spotify app without having to use the app from Sonos. I'm happy with the sound quality and was thinking about getting a Sonos sound bar, but with the T&C changes I don't think I'll be doing that anymore.

Maybe among the college educated class but when it comes to young tradies it's the opposite. I know just one who refuses to drive, everyone else is either a proud motorist or in the process of getting their license and saving up for a car.

There's no violence involved, it can't be robbery.

I have experience with both, this is not the case.

The first time I took sildenafil I had a bad headache and nausea, the next couple of times I didn't suffer from nausea and the headache wasn't as severe. I don't suffer from any side effects now other than my nose getting a bit stuffy every now and then, so in that sense I developed a tolerance to the medication's side effects. The boner effects still work just as reliably as day one, no tolerance development for me there.

I was thinking this myself.

What phones on the market have open source hardware?

I asked the same question and got the following:

Q: Why don't blind people go skydiving?

A: It scares the hell out of their dogs.

I laughed.
