30 associations are proposing to the European Commission to impose a limit on the size of new cars, in particular the total width and bonnet.

A report connected with this request showed that the average bonnet height of newly-sold cars in Europe is increasing by 0.5 cm a year.

Many studies showed that bigger cars and higher bonnets are related to more collisions, and worse outcome for pedestrians and cyclists (and those in smaller cars), especially in regards to children

Those SUVs are kid crushers, they shouldn’ be on our roads

Finished Chatper 10 of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition !

Now doing side missions etc to level up for chapter 11. I noticed my play time is about 70 hours. Didn't realise that I have played this much. It feels like I should be still be around 30 hours or so. Which shows that even with all the complaints I had about the game, I am still enjoying it so much that I didn't notice the time.

Played some more Marvel's Midnight Suns.

I recall reading interview of the Firaxis guys (forgot their name) about how they wanted the people to play aggressively and that's why they added timer in X-Com 2. If you don't clear the mission in that time, some very strong enemies join the battle.

Midnight Suns fortunately doesn't have that, but each turn enemy get reinforcements. They are all one-hit kill, but when you have only 3 attack (some cards give you free attack if you kill in one hit), it means you have to be aggressively attack all the other enemies, or you will just keep fighting until you die.

Not a big fan of this, but it is much better than the X-Com 2 solution, IMO, which gave me too much pressure and I wasn't able to enjoy the game. This is not too big of a deal here, but still a slight annoyance.

Also played some more Ghost of Tsushima.

Just slowly exploring the second area and clearing territories and anything I come across.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

Hey! just recently went to my psycologist, and i found alot of new things with me! ofc i had some things in background why it was so hard in school and social life and other things. but i found out that i was diagnosed with auditory memeory issue when i was 4 (and my parents never said anything to me when i was older). but that diagnose can also be a misdiagnose off add, which the test was not for. so ye, found out alot of my history and my current problems last couple of months, and got diagnosed with add well got kicked out of uni last year, had no motivation at all, and it was pain reading. so after some months, i went to psycologist about depression and fucos issue, and ye, pretty sure i have ADD with some languge diffuclitys, but not auditory memeoryproblem. wanted to killmyself so many times, and motivation for anything was just ass. and i guess it will take some time to fix it. do you have any tips what helped you, and how you find passion in school or job? :) thank you!

An Israeli official told the Post: "We presented the American administration with evidence of Iran's breakthrough toward a nuclear bomb. There was full and complete coordination with the Americans."

Iran's armed forces spokesperson accused Israel of carrying out attacks against Iran with US support.

This comes after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement, "Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region.

Moldovian President Maia Sandu warned that Russia would continue its aggression in other countries, including the Republic of Moldova, if not stopped in Ukraine.

"If Ukraine falls, believe me, Russia won't stop at Moldova," Maia Sandu stated. She noted that international support for Ukraine must become faster and more consistent: "We need to help faster, more extensively. Russia has enormous resources, enormous capabilities. Ukraine receives less and too late. We must reverse this situation. This is our mission."

President Sandu declared that Ukraine is not just a country under attack, but "a cornerstone of European security," and the stakes of the war unleashed by the Russian Federation transcend this country's borders: "It's not just about Ukraine, about its future; it's about the future of the whole of Europe, of the entire world."

President Sandu also spoke about the hybrid attack methods used by Russia: "Lies, manipulation, blackmail, interference in our political systems, distortion of democracy and truth." Maia Sandu added that the Republic of Moldova is similarly targeted: "Moldova knows what hybrid warfare means, what it truly looks like: energy blackmail, fake protests, disinformation, and organized crime disguised as political parties."

I’ll start. I’m a 37-year-old woman, and I’ve always been indifferent about having children. I love peace and quiet, but at the same time, I wouldn’t mind having kids if my partner really wanted them.

I’ve been with my husband for 13 years now and married for 11. I’m his second (and final) wife. He has three kids with his first wife. She was supportive of him taking a second wife, with just one request: no more children. That solidified my decision not to have kids.

CBP also said in a statement that its air and marine operations were “not engaged in the surveillance of first amendment activities”, but that they are “providing officer safety surveillance when requested by officers”.

The Department of Homeland Security on Monday posted a video on X that the agency said was DHS drone footage and bore a CBP air and marine operations watermark. It included zoomed in clips of protestors on the streets.

CBP’s confirmation of its drone usage comes after the LA Times also reported that an LAPD helicopter flying over protesters announced to them, “I have all of you on camera. I’m going to come to your house.” The Guardian US contacted the LAPD and has not heard back.

This is not the first time the DHS has flown drones over protests. In 2020, the DHS dispatched drones over at least 15 cities across the US where people gathered to protest about the murder of George Floyd and logged more than 270 hours of surveillance footage. The LAPD has also ramped up surveillance in response to first amendment activity. During the city’s George Floyd protests, LAPD sent requests to Amazon for Ring doorbell footage that specifically sought videos of the protests.

I'm still dipping my toes into self hosting and trying to figure out what services I would want to be always accessible from my devices vs those that could be awakened by LAN, and which services should be installed at the OS level vs as containers.

As of now, I just have an OrangePi 5 Plus running Home Assistant Supervised under Debian and nothing else. I'm hoping to expand the OPi a bit and also build out another PC (hardware unknown) as a NAS media server and NextCloud machine.

Before I start doing anything I can't undo, I'm wondering if I' on the right track with my proposed setup in the image, or if there's anything else I should consider?
