What is something small that you do that confuses other people whenever they see you doing it?

  • Those bits are probably bad for your health anyway

  • That's probably better knot anyway. Most people don't even realize they tie their shoes with a so called granny knot. The loops are supposed to sit horizontally, not vertically or at 45 degree angle.

  • If bike was faster I'd probably favour it over a car. That however was not the case for me. My commute is 15 minutes by car and 30 by bike.

  • Epoxy covered rebar exists as does one made from stainless steel. It's just quite pricey so it's rarely used unless absolutely necessary. Rust is generally not an issue as long as the rebar is deep inside the concrete. When it's close to the surface and gets exposed to elements is when the problems start.

  • Have you considered the possibility that not everyone lives in a densely populated urban centre like Toronto? My city has population of 120k people. Traffic is virtually unheard of here.

  • What's wrong about saying the blacks or the gays? That's just refering to a specific group of people. Only thing I can see as problematic is the generalization that follows but that's always the case when talking about groups.

  • Traffic and bad drivers are part of driving like flat tires, noisy brakes and broken chains are part of cycling. That's not what I enjoy about it but it's part of the deal that I'm willing to accept.

  • I could not relate less to what you just said. I thoroughly enjoy driving. One of the contributin reasons to why I stopped bike commuting was that my truck just sat unused in the carage all day and I missed driving. To me this sound more like that you're perhaps not very experienced driver and you find it stressful due to how much concentration it requires. This is not the case for me. Just like when riding my mountain bike I don't really think about how to operate the bike. I don't even think of me being on the bike but rather the bike just being an extension of me. I get the same feeling when driving a car. Driving a boat on the other hand I do find stressful and I'm quite sure the reason is that I only do it a handful of times a year so I'm not 100% confident in my skills.

  • This seems kind of a weird study as they're polling the self-selected group that has already chosen to use these bikes anyway. This pretty much excludes all the people that didn't like using the bikes.

    I live in Finland and I love mountain biking but it's a bitch when there's snow on the ground so I bought an eFatbike so I could ride year around. And I mean a proper full size one. It does what I intented it to which is keeping me on the trails year around but last winter I thought I'd give bike commuting a chance aswell. My conclusion was that it fucking suuucks. If I had to choose between a bus and a bike then I'd perhaps favour the bike but compared to a car there's no competition. There's zero chance I'd replace my car with a bike. I'm more than happy to pay extra for the luxury and freedom it provides. If I lived in a big city then perhaps this would be a different but most of the trips I use my car for I couldn't reasonably do with a bike.

    Another effect I noticed bike commuting to cause is that I no longer had the desire (or battery charge) to go for joyrides after work. It turned an enjoyable hobby into chore.

    • Commercials Are Streaming’s New Norm, and Creators Aren’t Happy: “It’s Almost Worse Than Broadcast”

  • They probably wouldn't need to pull stunts like this if people just accepted that the price will slowly increase over time. However they don't. People hate when someone increases prices. The issue here however is that 10 euros 5 years ago buys you more than 10 euros today and that's how it will always be. If a company like Netflix just sticks to the 10 euros a month price for decades then the only way to maintain the same amount of revenue is to gain more customers each year. However if the number of customers stays the same aswell as the prices then they're effectively making less profit each year.

  • I genuinely have no idea what you're on about. Nobody who knows what they're talking about uses AI and AGI interchangeably. That's like saying by universe you mean the milkyway.
