that the law only requires vehicles to stop for pedestrians already in the crosswalk

Where I live it’s different. If someone wants to cross at a crosswalk, they have the right of way. If a child want’s to cross anywhere, they have the richt of way. Not on freeway (Autobahn) or highway (Schnellstraße) of course.

Also there is the Vertrauensgrundsatz (trust principle?). If yo cannot trust someone to know the laws or follow the law (children, visibly under influence, …) treat them as such. Keep distance and keep slow, give right of way if necessary.

America does WHAT now?

No, i don’t need sources on that. I’d like to hear claims on what happened in and around the square… Why it’s called a massacre? How many were killed? On which side were those killed? Were the ‘sides’ as clear cut as we are told? Why were there protests and why did it escalate?

What happened exactly at Tiananmen Square? You have some good sources?

So do I, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

Hey, that’s a legitimate word… for particle physics.

Too young for a PC? My daughter got my old components with 8 years. Now with 10 years, playing Veloren, Minetest, Terraria and LotRO with me at her side on it…

I think that is called eMail-Newsletters…

eMail is federated, there are newsletter-services that are open source, and you can subscribe and unsubscribe very easily.

Globally there’s way mor illegal trafficking in construction than in prostitution. So should wo do something there too?

And yes, legalizing will not eliminate human trafficking, but it would put the blame (and criminalization) away from victims.

And neither of current israelis, so why are they granted a Israel and the others no Palestine?

Fist time I read that passage (Mark 11:12):

12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.

That last phrase though, as if the writer wants to tell us: “Look here, jesus is an asshole!”

“total lifetime emissions for nuclear vs. renewables”

I looked it up. IPCC (2014) says nuclear is at 12g CO2eq/kWh. Only wind is lower at 11g. UNECE (2020) has nuclear at 5.1g. No other source gets closer.

Your wikipedia link at the end saos lower austria has as 100% renewable electricity. First that’s a bold claim by the premier of the region, considering they have 3 active natural gas plants there. It’s power used, yes. It should be power produced. Austria is always proud to not own nuclear plants they sure use much of the nuclear power produced in czechia.

You mean exploiting, right? :)

Yup, same here. Tried many browsers back then. Always came back to FF. Now its Librewolf on Desktop and Fennec on Mobile. Both firefox-based.

we’ve established pretty clearly by now that giving kids iPads makes it harder for them to learn

I work in a school, we got a box of ipads and I am interested in ho we established this.

I am convinced the ipads cannot help to learn anything better than a less expensive and open alternative could, but if I want to speak about that with colleagues or the head of school I need sources…

Any chance to get to know which one? :)

Fedora. I have yet to stumble upon stuff that doesn’t run. I have no problems working nor gaming so no need (or wish) for Windows.
