To be fair, that's something you learn as soon as you start 3d printing. Anything that experiences repeated stress and have any chance of getting over room temperature during summe…

I can see numerous reasons why you'd want the backpack rather than a box on the bike for food delivery (may not apply for other deliveries): - no need to fuss when you mount/dismou…

ULEZ and similar scheme are not about vehicle size. They are about Euro-spec of the engine. There is a very vocal opposition against those: big recent SUVs are compliant, but small…

The main benefit of using a 100% European cloud is to be 100% GDPR compliant. No matter how you slice it and how lawyers/companies try to wiggle around it, it's not possible to hos…

The main takeaway is that, unless you are trained for it (like lifeguards are) and actively looking for the signs, you will probably not spot someone drowning, even if they are rig…

Step 1: Make it illegal (if it isn't already) to remove pollution / noise reduction features from cars. Step 2: Enforce a yearly or bi-yearly tech inspection that checks the pollut…

While I have not cycled in Amsterdam, as a Parisian cyclist I can confirm. Paris is currently overwhelmingly better than what's in most other big cities, but still far away from be…

I'd work on whatever my current hobby is. The actual hobby changes over time. Currently, my hobby is maintaining/repairing cars. If I had more time (and space), I'd restore old car…

My understanding is that the author is arguing that: - guardrails should always be between the sidewalk and the road. Not after the sidewalk - in places where statistical data show…

Offices generally don't have showers. People also generally don't arrive sweaty when biking (at least not more than those taking public transportation in the summer). To avoid bein…

Same here. I'm pleasantly surprised when I try a new itinerary, and now it's mostly bike lanes. Even 5 years ago, it was 50/50 whether there was a proper separated bike lane you co…

"used to be"? When is that? There are lots of very interesting old stories about rule bending in Nascar. Actually, it apparently started from the very first official Nascar race [1…

Here is a news article talking about that (in French) from before the vote was done: https://www.francetvinfo.fr/france/ile-de-france/venir-a-par... Key part translation: "Accordin…

The news makes people focus on this particular vote, but it's just yet another small step in the multitude of other steps to curb car use in Paris. It started at least 10 years ago…

To be fair, the sentiment was "it will be a landslide in favour" (like the electric scooters). It indeed wasn't, but still went in the expected way. People visiting Paris were not …

This article leaves a lot of details out. As a Parisian who's been following this with attention, here are a few details: * first, the "SUV" part is the intent, but not the reality…

This terrifies me as well. The workaround is to write the WHERE clause before the SET clause. If you inadvertently submit the query partway, it will be invalid and it's not a big d…

It's not only in the Netherlands, but in the European Union, as this stems from the GDPR. That particular principle of data minimization regarding cameras filming public space seem…

Depending on how it's broken, sometime you'll be able to glue plastic parts together (it was recommended to me to use the gel super-glue, not the regular one). Another interesting …

Since there is no question, I guess the OP wants to find some inspiration? Anyway here goes: - gaming. Since I was a child, I've been gaming. I don't consider it as a "productive" …

My current passion is to maintain and fix cars. No modification because very little is allowed in my country and I keep the budget super tight. I started about a year ago. Prior to…

To be honest, that depends on the engine itself. For example, on BMW Minis, which all have timing chains: - 1st gens Minis (2002 -> 2006 roughly), with Chrysler engines, have a bul…

That must depends on location heavily. While I have not visited the US extensively, I was very surprised when in California at how respectful drivers were with pedestrians, not jus…

Nowhere on earth is a big statement. If you at least qualified it as "country-side" that would have been a bit more understandable (very low density making it pretty much impossibl…

That's funny, that would make it funny or awkward for me. While I don't have a middle name, I have 3 first names (as is customary in France: my first name, my godfather first name …
