I agree, but something being distraction does not automatically mean it’s addictive. Gear shifting is a distraction, but we don’t consider it addictive.

The main idea here is that overuse not equals addiction.

There are a lot of reasons for distraction while driving, but we don’t call all of them addiction on that premise. If a driver was not looking at his phone - maybe he’d be looking at something else. The phone is not the reason - it’s just a very suitable object.

Because it is proven that phone usage is not an addiction like drugs or alcohol. People put phones away easily if they have a reason to do so.

«14. I have consistently risen to the level of disorganisation that any new technology allows At the time of writing, I have 77 tabs open on my browser”

Huh, before computers I can remember 77 open notebooks scattered across my bedroom. Nothing changes.

Putin tried to do that at the beginning of his presidency. He was talking a lot about joining NATO and even EU, but that didn’t go anywhere. Russia is much more valuable to the EU as a fossil colony.

I wonder why wasn’t this patch given time before merging it? Isn’t that the whole purpose of patches and merge process?

Bafang is even more popular than Bosch in the Netherlands. Many popular brands like VanMoof and Veloretti prefer them due to lower prices, more power and better repairability.

It's 2000-3000 eur worth. You can sell it for less or take out the proprietary details like battery or automatic gear shifter and sell it. Or you can steal it just for fun, because they are usually left unchained and unlocked all over the city. Easy target.

100% stolen. Two were stolen from my neighbours in Amsterdam this month, one of them just yesterday.
