But being high make them incredibly dangerous for other road users. If a normal car hits you, you break your leg, it sucks, but within a month you’d walk on crutches and within 6 month you’d be fine. A SUV hitting a pedestrian or a cyclist will break their pelvis or even their back which has a harder recovery and long lasting consequences.

These stuff should be banned

Paraglider pilot here, so I landed among the cow my fair share of times.

Cows are curious but shy, if you walk slowly they might come to have a look, if they get too close, something like clapping your hands is enough to have them running away. However, if the farmer didn’t took the veals the yet, they can be pretty agressive to protect their kids, in that case forgot what I said about “clapping your hand” and stay away from the herd. Note also that bull are less shy than cow.

CVs are supposed to be at least 2-3 pages

Where is it the case ? I always heard CV are expected to be kept short, and stay on one page unless you’re one of these senior experts with a crazy experience. A young graduate sending a 2-3 page CV sounds at minimum pretentious and would go direct to the garbage.

Now, it seems that “Not being able to find a job” is a great reason to pursue further education.

I might get down voted, but even for software dev, not all jobs can be done remotely. Software may need to interact with hardware, which requires to be on site. I am all in for hybrid or remote work, but totally see why some jobs require to be “on site”

Something worth repeating is that transistors are a direct application of quantum mechanics. Quantum physics isn’t a metaphysical thing about half dead cats and working only on a few ultra cold atoms. If you want to explain how a piece of silicium can be conductive or insulating depending on it’s polarisation you need… Quantum physics.

Is coralline supposed to be “kid friendly”? It’s one of the few books I wasn’t comfortable reading in alone in the dark, no way I let a kid read that

The minimum threshold is tricky. Sometimes due to alliance or political dynamic, a party/list struggle to reach 5%. But banning them from running again seems aggressive. An election even lost without any seat nor a public payment of the campaign fee, is a chance for a party to be heard and put back some issues in the debate. Look at the green who often do low score, but sometimes manage to win

Renters rights legislation with enough teeth to make present and perspective landlords, both corporate and individual, think twice before not taking care of a property as though they lived there? (

Isn’t it mostly an issue on the US side of the pond (and in other third worlds countries). I believe that most European countries have minimum standards regarding renter right, it’s not perfect (and reality is that changing a furnace takes weeks). But every time I read about US feel likes dystopia.

I am talking about having sunlight up to 22-23 in the evening, Unfortunately, I don’t live anymore in a place with many days above 40. (Which to be fair are great as a kid when you spend the afternoon chilling near the river, but sucks when you’re adult and stuck in an office)

In Summer, I use “weight lifting fingerless gloves”, it’s very similar from “cycling fingerless gloves” but half of the price. In winter, I use “light” outdoor gloves.

From a European perspective (I use car/bicycle/train/longboard), a few pointers rather than a pro-con/list

• The more people use a bicycle, even casually, The more it put pressures on local politician to do something

• For short distances (<5km) in town, it’s faster than the car

• Gloves are more important than helmet, on the couple of fall I got, gloves protected my hands, while my head didn’t hit. However, if you’re in a severe accident a helmet can make the difference so I still recommend one.

• Beware of your clothe, if you wear black, at night, without lights, you call for problem, and I can see how even good faith motorists can hit you.

• Paint isn’t infrastructure but at least remind the motorists that you have the right to be there. I can see how the mayor call the infrastructure director and ask them for bike lane without any budget, but it sucks

• Be a bit agressive, and look for eye-contact before passing between car, keep distance from parked car, they can open a door, If you don’t think a car can pass you with a safe distance (small urban streets) stay in the middle of the road, and stop to the side when you can to let the car pass you.

• A backpack, or bike pack helps a lot carrying groceries, not really an excuse

• The problem isn’t that much the winter (unless you live on a really cold place) but the rain, good clothe can help, but still.

Summer

• No need for rain-clothe, or warm clothe

• Outdoor activities are possible without damaging the gear due to the humidity, and if you like water even outdoor swim became possible

• Having sunlight up to 22 or even 23 is pretty great, you can have a late dinner outdoor, or get some beers in the parks with your friends. It’s also safer to come back home, especially if you ride a bicycle or are a woman.

• Many people are in holidays, so things are quieter

Sure, if you deal with customer

It’s still a nice way to get someone coordinates, like who is the sales person, or the tech support tech, or the researcher.

If you go to conference/trade fairs people willstill exchange cards.

Forgot that simple trick to get maps :). But actually when I use rpg maps, it’s digital and printed and in general not bought (either found online or done)

Best season, weather is nice enough so Ican enjoy outdoor activities.

The last summer before the “brexit” I went to scotland, one of the classic hike there is going atop the Ben nevis mountain. Even though in summer it’s not a complicated hike, I still bought a paper map to not be yet another tourist lost in the mist, I have a limited trust in mobile phone map in outdoor activity, especially when the weather isn’t optimal.

Question was triggered as I stumbled open that map when sorting some stuff on my bookshelves.

As much as I find the idea great. The killer feature of TikTok is how easy it is to publish a video with filters and musics. Not sure how well a federated application can follow. Then, there is TikTok algorithm which is a common critic of the app but is how you get a never-ending flow of content which isn’t uninteresting enough for you to turn the app off

AI is being used to replace a lot of jobs, but companies usually do not want to advertise that.

I would be careful with that statement.

I’ve been involved in some projects about “leveraging on data” to reduce maintenance costs. And a big pitfall is that you still someone to do the job. Great, now, you know that the “Primary pump” is about to break. You still need to send a tech to replace-it, and often you have to deal with a user who can’t afford to turn the system off until the repair is done, and the you can’t let someone work alone in the area. So you end-up having to send 2 persons asap to repair the “primary pump”.

It’s a bit better in term of planning/ressources than “Send 2 persons to diagnose what’s going wrong, get the part and do the repair”, which allows to replace engineer able to do a diagnostic by technicians able to execute a procedure (which is itself an issue as soon as you have to think out of the box). It allow to have a more dynamic “preventive maintenance planning”. So somehow, it helped cutting down the maintenance costs and improve system reliability. But in the end, you still need staff to do the repair. And I let alone, all the manpower needed to collect/process the data, hardware engineer looking on how to integrate sensor in the machines, data-engineer building a data-base able to use these data, data-scientists building efficient algorithm, product maintenance expert trying to make-sense of these data and so on.

I feel like, a big chunk of the AI will be similar, with some jobs being cut down (or less qualified) while tons of new jobs will take over

Even though there is already a !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world and a !doesanybodyelse@lemm.ee This c/ is still quite small, and doesn’t get saturated with questions which belong elsewhere. Somehow splitting the content over 3 communities also get them way more empty than a big active one.

We’re still far from the magic reload button we have on that other website which every minutes would see tons of new post.
