There are more people alive today that believe in mythological deities, or that the earth is flat than at any other point in human history.

In absolute terms? Maybe. There’s more people alive today than there ever have been.

In relative terms, i.e. fraction of believers to non-believers? There is no way in Hera’s great grassy brassiere I’m believing that without sauce.

Maybe I got a bit excited on the range there. Find me a bike that does 150km and charges in 30 seconds 😏

Electric bikes should in theory be much, much faster. Energy density is a problem, tho. Can’t fit much battery in a small frame, so you sacrifice power for range.

Find me a 200hp electric bike that will do 400km on a charge and I’ll be the first in line.

I regularly get more expensive prices when browsing on my Apple stuff than my GF on her Android.

I was thinking about this in the context of the UK the other day, and it makes sense to wear down the educational system as much as possible, mainly for two reasons.

Quality isn’t necessary. The education system up to 14-ish years old serves essentially as free(ish) daycare so parents don’t have an excuse not to work. This then allows rent/house prices to inflate up to what a couple can pay, rather than a single parent.

The uneducated masses are easy to control. I work/live in a very well-educated environment, but have regular contact with less educated people. It’s insane the things they’ll believe in.

The vast majority of people are non-techies, and that’s quite profitable.

Go watch the 3 live concerts they had, with the voice actors and the singers from the OST.

Bring tissues.

I can hear this image. I can feel the tears coming.

Am I beautiful?

I like going places where other people don’t go, and thus almost by definition will not be connected by public transport.
