Highstronaught@feddit.ukto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•California Is About To Run Out of License Plate Numbers1·3 months agoI think you might be mis-understanding slightly? In the UK the date is on the plate as part of the number e.g. AB25 6CD would be on a car registered in 2025. We don’t have anything on cars like a registration (tax disk went long ago) number plates are big and plastic here for some reason, someone smart could probably explain why it’s good or bad.
Sounds really nice, is there a recepie or more details somewhere?
Highstronaught@feddit.ukto Ask UK@feddit.uk•What have you heard from your neighbours house?1·3 months agoUpstairs neighbours consist of a heard of dinosaurs. Spoken with them to no result. They have a trampoline in their front room that one of their kids loves to bounce on all the time, including 23:30 last night. I can see the ceiling flexing up and down when they’re bouncing.

Highstronaught@feddit.ukto SpaceflightMemes@sh.itjust.works•“They were only in space for, like, nine months, which is not long enough to pick up an accent”English10·4 months agoWonder if in the future there will be a “space” accent, will it be specific to planets, stations or moons. Or will it stay similar to the accents from countries that founded the colony?
Lots of disabled people can’t drive, bike infrastructure also accommodates wheelchairs, mobility scooters, hand bikes and other ways disabled people get around.
50% of journeys are 5 miles or less, nobody is seriously suggesting going long distances on bikes (though I have)
You can easily carry a full load of shopping, bits from the diy shop and more, there are even tradespeople who work via a cargo bike rather than van
By cycling you get fitter very quick, you learn to pace yourself but you get faster as you get fitter. E-bikes are also an option too
Can’t fix the air con issue, when I cycled to work I took a change of clothes and got changed there I don’t live in a very hot place though. As for cold, a good set of waterproof mittens, some waterproof overtrousers and a good coat work wonders (and can be used when your not on a bike too)
What about those who can’t drive, how do they get around?

Highstronaught@feddit.ukto Science@mander.xyz•Fake papers are contaminating the world’s scientific literature, fueling a corrupt industry and slowing legitimate lifesaving medical research.3·5 months agoI think what they mean is every journal behaves like an instance on lemmy, federated with eachother. One journal not living up to your standards, block them on your instance etc. Like lemmy
If you are moving a full car of people, it’s probably the best way to get around. However the average occupancy of a car is 1.2 people. The vast majority of cars have just 1 person, often driving less than 5 miles which is an easy distance to cycle.
Having more people cycling means the roads are less congested for the people who really need to use them. And with less people driving and more cycling, it should hopefully get safer.
Mineral oil is what i was planning to use, it’s issue is that’s it’s pretty viscous so would need to be moved around mechanically. Some plastics are ok with ipa (can use other solvents)
Couldn’t have said it better myself
