A chopper can land safely on any road cross. And NY has shit loads of them. Then it’s a 1 minute walk.
- Comment on America is fucked 2 weeks ago:
To be fair, with the congestion that severe, the ambulance should use helicopters. Like they do here in London.

Why would a billionaire be angry at Trump?
- Comment on Why didn't *I* think of that? 3 weeks ago:
That’s how it works pretty much everywhere these days. A well known loophole closed.

There were loads of bridge houses in the UK.

The video is about the stock market in general.
- Comment on glorious stock 3 weeks ago:
Did you know that Google shows you historical stocks and shares data when doing a related search?
If googling is too hard for you, then you can watch a video here youtu.be/3PxqwZcTpc0 It references each and every source.

In the last century 63 years had 10% crashes. This image shows that literally nothing is happening.

Nowhere but in the US people rely on cars. Cars are just too fucking expensive for the majority of human population.
- Comment on Based on a true story 3 weeks ago:
The world doesn’t end with US, surprise!
- Comment on Based on a true story 3 weeks ago:
Yes, we do.

A car is not a right, it’s a privilege. You have a right to walk with your own two feet. If you don’t want to - then you have to pay.

The show turned to shit many years ago, way before any wokeness. There’s nothing to defend.
- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 4 weeks ago:
That’s just a software feature, not a real neutral.
- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 4 weeks ago:
You can’t freewheel on EV, there’s no mechanism for that. You can have a software simulation though, but it’s not needed for anything.
- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 4 weeks ago:
It seems to me that you don’t understand how EVs work. They don’t have gears (usually) and they don’t have a constantly running combustion engine.
Neutral and park (park is just neutral with a break automatically applied) do not exist in EVs, because EVs don’t have a constantly running engine. You only need neutral to disengage the clutch to prevent its wear during stops, because always running engine means that the car is always moving. That’s not happening in EVs.
And you don’t need low/boost because EVs don’t have gears.
So, you only have reverse and drive.
- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 4 weeks ago:
EVs have no gears, they don’t need this stuff. Or they have a manual simulation.

What do you mean? Dacia Spring exists and it starts at £15k. That’s pretty much a budget petrol car price.

What’s a PRNDL?
- Comment on Why don’t brands make simpler names? 4 weeks ago:
A simpler name would require a trademark. Go on, try to trademark a nice name. Or better yet - hundreds of them each year.
Randomly looking numbers and characters cannot be trademarked (one of the good examples was Intel’s move from x86 naming to Celeron and Pentium as they couldn’t prevent others calling their CPUs 486), so everyone can use them freely.

No. That was never a thing.
- Comment on I hate the modern web 4 weeks ago:
There’s a good reason for that, VPNs are extensively used by bot networks for all kinds of activity. But VPN use by bots is actually coming down slowly as bot networks start to switch to residential mobile networks - it’s impossible to block them and you can cycle connections automatically like you do with VPN when using specialised residential mobile IP providers. So maybe web sites will stop blocking VPNs in a few years.

Lemmy is nowhere near the wealth of information available on Reddit. And if we’re talking about hobbies, then literally no one gives a shit about Lemmy. The whole of the Fediverse has only 50k daily active users, most of them are on Mastodon. Lemmy is just a tiny fraction of those 50k. The main 3D printing sub alone has more active users than the whole Lemmy.
That leads to a situation where knowledgeable people from the industry and hobby leaders don’t post anything here. I’m not even sure many of them even heard of it.
So, if you want some help or to learn something, you either go to specialised forums or to Reddit. Lemmy is for memes and throwing feces at each other. Which is fun.

Bots use VPNs a lot for scrapping and other activities.

Many US states like Mississippi have a higher gun death rate than Ukraine during an active war. If people can go to work in Mississippi, they definitely can do the same in Ukraine.

IQ tests are not necessarily flawed to assess current state of intelligence, but they cannot be used to compare intelligence today to intelligence a century ago. Because 100 IQ today is not the same as 100 IQ score a century ago.
