>Far more dangerous riding a bicycle to school than racing at 200+mph on closed course racetracks.
I understand that the safety gear helps in MotoGP but you might be overestimating how dangerous cycling is while downplaying risks of going over 200mph on a motorcycle.
>Countless crashes, but injuries have been rare.
To me this sounds that it's just a matter of time before there is a serious injury.
>Usually the bouncers walk the line and already tell people when they definitely will not get in.
Not true. I have never seen or heard anything like this to happen at the Berghain queue.
As a regular Berlin visitor I have never heard of a club that "forbids alcohol" let alone encourage illicit drug usage. It's actually quite the opposite – the clubs tend to actively discourage drug use (meaning searching for them at the door and kicking out everyone who is caught using).
It seems that the National Endowment for Democracy support for Bellingcat ended in 2021:
https://www.bellingcat.com/app/uploads/2023/06/Bellingcat-An...>Last year marked the final year of project
funding from the National Endowment for
Democracy (NED) that provided funding for
Russian-language workshops at no cost to
journalists and human rights researchers
based in Russia, Ukraine, Central Asia and the
Caucasus.
Not a surprise you did not want to answer the rest of the questions.
By "he took" you probably mean that Bellingcat has received support from National Endowment For Democracy?
Are you saying that this support has somehow affected the investigations conducted by Bellingcat? How that is visible exactly?
Also, I don't know too much about National Endowment For Democracy so could you provide some reading about how it's affiliated with intelligence agencies?
>Higgins, even though he took that bait of think tank jobs/intelligence money
What do you mean by this exactly? Do you have any other sources than Elon Musk tweets that Eliot Higgins has taken "intelligence money"?
>"according to UK intelligence"
This is a misleading "quote".
UK intelligence is not mentioned in the article at all (https://archive.is/xG0M7)
Avoiding and suppressing uncomfortable emotions and feelings instead of fully accepting and acting on them. This is of course a huge topic in itself and easier said than done but I'm confident that investment on this area almost always worth it. You are fortunate if you got this already in childhood!
Another thing would be flossing with dental brushes. Gum infections can ruin your health in many ways.
>BTC is mostly renewables
Source for this?
>Every single person will get COVID-19 at some point. It’s impossible to avoid. Regardless of how they say COVID-19 is transmitted, you will inevitably get it.
Simply not true, especially now with vaccinations starting.
Do you wash them at 60°C? Cotton shirts can take that despite label 30°C wash instructions. Skin grease goes won't go under 60°C (not every wash need to be hot though).
I use it mainly for music streaming via Spotify (raspotify) and airplay. It's paired with an 10-year old EMU 0202 USB DAC which haven't had working drivers for OS X since Snow leopard or something.
Is it like this in Android, iOS or both?
Needing very few hours of sleep is extremely rare. Basically everyone who claims to get along with less than the usual 7-8h of sleep do worse in various cognitive performance tests and most likely will suffer in longer term as well. Matthew Walker writes about this in his excellent book Why we sleep.
This might be something to do with effect of not winning every time: it's studied method to get and keep us addicted. You will get a bigger dopamine hit when only some of notifications are "wins" like tagged photo etc. Slot machines are a great example of this along with other gambling.
US vacation times are nuts. Honestly I don't understand how people can cope with only total of few weeks of vacation per year for decades and additionally do over 40h per week constantly.
No wonder people burn out.
I'm not a native speaker so 'mental strain' might be a bit overblown expression for this. I'm also from a culture where tipping is not common so for me it's also a cultural difference to deal with.
Add mental strain of thinking should I and how much should I tip. Also hassle if you don't happen to have change readily available. Sometimes it's just easier to go to a place where you don't have to think this.
Still somebody makes a decision to contribute to these systems. Most of those people think they do the right thing I believe. It is important to show that this kind of surveillance is clearly wrong and painfully shameful to be part of.
