E-bike environmental impact in comparison to other forms of transport
  • It usually works out pretty well with native speakers not familiar with the term. They usually have a moment with a blank stare thinking "what the hell is an acoustic bike?" and then realize all at once with a smirk.

    As for your second question, acoustic becomes a good classification when talking to a group where electric bikes are the default, just like electric becomes a good classification where pure pedal bikes are the default. In a group where ebikes are the default they might assume you're talking about throttle type if you say analog, or a pedal assist bike if you said manual. It started as a joke and became a useful term.

  • Why aren't modern 3D platformers as good as the PS2 era of 3D platformers?
  • Nitrorad covers games old and new in this genre, but the shooter hybrid 3d platformer is short of a niche inside a niche. I think 3d platformer are having a bit of a resurgence at the moment, but I don't think it's trickled down to that subgenre. I will shout out pseudoregalia I almost didn't give it a chance with the furry bait protagonist but the platforming is so satisfying. I hope the dev makes some sort of sequel

  • Went to IMTS last year and got to see a BIG 3D Printer
  • I don't feel like I've seen armature (SCARA?) Based 3d printers in this scale before. I imagine it might be due to it losing reach as it goes on comparison to a gantry? At least without some sort of rising mechanism.

  • Any advice for someone who broke bones that need surgery to fix?
  • I'm pretty sure that I healed with my foot in an unnatural position (outside tiles up slightly) causing the bone to heal in a shortened position. They don't do anything to your fibula in most cases as it bears very little weight, it's just allowed to heal on its own.

  • Any advice for someone who broke bones that need surgery to fix?
  • Only real thing I regret when I broke my leg was not using a cane after crutches. Didn't realize using the crutches too long led to my fibula reattaching incorrectly and breaking again a year later randomly as I was walking.

  • Atheism is fine. Antitheism is bigotry.
  • I've always found the idea that you are replacing religious faith with science to be ridiculous, it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what science is. Science does not ask for faith, it plainly lays out the facts and frameworks to be scrutinized. The scrutiny is the point.
