Bikes are a much denser form a transportation; you can have 100s of bikes cross an intersection in the time it takes 4 cars to cross. You don’t want a traffic system where both have to wait, you prioritize the more efficient form of transit.

Of course you should ban cars from areas of the city, but bikes still need to travel between those islands. If your “pedestrian area” is an island everyone has to drive to get to, it will fail.

they’re not going to ruin vast swaths of their own land for the next century after the fight with Russia fizzles out, as most people know will happen at this rate.

They’re losing territory every day, if Chernobyl is Russian territory when the war fizzles out, it’s likely to remain that way for quite some time.

Meanwhile Russia’s only long-term plans for Ukraine is oil, gas and minerals. They don’t need the land, they want to hurt as many citizens as possible, get to the goods and carve out territory to restore pipelines

All of these objectives made more difficult if you have a nuclear containment issue inside that territory. If you control the territory, you have no reason to use a drone to irradiate territory you need to move troops and supplies through.

I’m not saying that Russia didn’t do it, idk if they held the territory at the time, but to suggest Russia somehow benefits from irradiating itself is just silly. This isn’t even the first time we’ve seen this, see the dam, pipeline, and bridge in Russian-held territory that people tried to blame on Russia for borderline conspiratorial reasons.

Right, so you don’t stop at a white line, you lower speed limits+add speed bumps, or protect your bikelanes.

The alternative, that either Russia or Ukraine would intentionally bomb a nuclear containment site in territory it plans to control indefinitely, is much flimsier.

The issues you are identifying aren’t the fault of attempting to add non-car modes of transit, those people are just the victims. The issue is that they add them while fearing slowing down drivers or taking away parking or driver RoW. If drivers are swerving into unprotected bike lanes, you don’t go “guess bike lanes can’t work”, you protect the bike lane. If drivers are hitting bicyclists when there’s no bike lanes, build more bike lanes and slow the traffic down. Ride a bike in HCMC or Hanoi some time. There’s literally thousands of bikes on the road, swarming cars, trucks, buses, and pedestrians. Serious accidents are very rare in the city, and typically involve texting or drinking. If drivers in your area drive too dangerously for mixed traffic, the problem is the drivers driving dangerously, not their victims.

It’s not implemented well, and it’s getting people killed.

So implement them better, either ban right on reds or start ticketing drivers who don’t come to a complete stop.

As for e-bikes: They’re basically not regulated, there’s supposedly a classification system for them, which people ignore. There’s no enforcement, and they do whatever the hell they want, including riding at travel lane speeds on sidewalks, which causes collisions because no other traffic, vehicle or pedestrian, is expecting 20+mph traffic on the sidewalk

Design sidewalks better. Couriers use bikes on sidewalks across east asia, except Japan, nobody cares. You can slow heavy ebikes via pavers, or block them entirely by requiring they be lifted a certain height to pass a barrier.

So is the problem that there’s too much support for non-car infrastructure, or that there’s so little they get away with half-assing it, and not slowing the cars down enough that the road is safe?

As far as mopeds in traffic, the problem is obviously the cars running them over, wtf?

You seasoning is a coating

Alternative to cast iron: carbon steel.

Same seasoning process, better heat conduction, lighter, cheaper.

I use a metal spatula on my cast iron all the time.

Was the plant in Russian occupied territory at the time? If so, it was probably Ukraine. Did Ukraine hold the territory at the time? Then it was probably Russia.

Neither, its sword-shaped.

I see tons of foreign cars here in China.

once meta leaves the VR space it will be exclusively for enthusiasts and low quality indie games.

I literally never even heard of anything associated with Horizons that wasn’t a low-quality cashgrab or some kind of scam.

I can’t see your first link because the site blocks Hong Kong, and the great firewall blocks CNBC.

But while America is a huge market, the big 4 are kinda garbage riding off half a century of anticompetitive trade practices, people literally only import them as conspicuous consumption, except Buick (GM), taxi drivers I’ve spoken to seem to like them. We would expect the US to export a smaller portion of our shitty, overpriced cars and import more cars.

still mean 4x more cars being exported in total, which causes trouble around the world.

Skill issue. Refusing to make better, cheaper cars, and just buying politicians and newspaper articles to support anti-competitive practices is how you get a median ev cost of >50K in the US.

There are enemies within the country; every worker’s interests are diametrically opposed to those of Jeff Bezos. A leader who pretends we’re all on the same side is siding with capital. Billionaires like Bloomberg understand that, hence why he spent hundreds of millions trying to stop the candidate who wanted workers to have healthcare.

“The election is important election ever, for real, thats why you have to vote for a rightwing ghoul instead of a candidate who can actually win” has been going on since Nixon.

You’re comparing absolute numbers without considering population differences, of course an industrial superpower, with 1.4 billion people, makes a shitton of cars. Meanwhile Germany produces 4x more cars for export than domestic consumption, and nobody says its overproduction.

ones applying to Chinese exports

That’s not a thing, if it was, exports would be cheaper than the same models on the domestic market. What is framed as subsidies is supporting the industry getting production up and and running.

There’s no overcapacity as evidenced by China only exporting a tiny fraction of their production, and at profitable prices.
