Wished it was military intelligence, so we don't have to rely on the States of America.
That's a great tip! Thanks :)
When I was a kid I couldn't resist eating out a whole package whenever we had printen. I guess the family wasn't too happy with it. I'd probably still do the same to be honest.
At least some good news coming from the EU in relation to the environment. All the stuff they want to water down or post-pone are frustrating to read and keep track off.
Don't get me wrong, I am all for low traffic cities.
I think it is rather other than space allocation, though. (Broad) cycling lanes are rapidly increasing, and pavements are generally broad (like roads). Space allocation could be improved upon, but I believe it far from the main cause.
Specifically for scooters, it is part behaviour and part consequence of easy access to heavy scooters. I don't think scooters are in-and-of-themselves a problematic transport method, I think rental scooters are.
At the same time it is worth to consider the downsides of certain modes of transportation, instead of only comparing them to cars and their infrastructure. I just don't think the discussion needs to be a what-aboutism. Especially considering the lack for some formal training, making many of the users of scooters a hazard for others and themselves.
As a pedestrian on a pavement I have a greater issue with scooters than cars. Especially where I live there are a lot, and they don't care about the 6km speed limit on the pavement (neither do cyclists however). Since scooters are often rental ones, they are thrown in bushes, rivers etc. Bicycles are often personal items, so they don't get strewn around, and the rentals have specific parking spots.
Primarily the rules should be enforced better and traffic rules should be taught better/at a younger age. But I think scooters are easier to misuse than bicycles or cars. Also, motorists need formal training, while scooters can be used by people without a license. There are lot of young teenagers using them here.
Many motorists here are dicks here too though, but they mostly are only a concern when I cross a street. So I wouldn't say less or more, but many scooterists invade a space that is reserved for pedestrians. Maybe scooters need some low entry training or something.
Sounds an awful lot like the Dutch VVD.
In yet another move where the supposed right normalises the far-right. The Peoples Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) in the Netherlands is doing the exact same, by adopting extreme policies to please voters that have lost touch with reality and/or democracy (in this case the rule of law).
Many news sites even have a live feed of what is happening when you elect an extreme-right populist.
Indeed, and as far as I understand it, even just the US intelligence is key for safe peacekeeping operations. I'd love to see Europe creating independence, but we clearly have to keep the US ar our side for our own security for awhile longer.
It is because Calibri was made with reading inclusion in mind (no thin slanted lines) and the current office actively working to exclude as many people as possible for no obvious reason other than pettiness.
Although, maybe they want to start writing in latin one day again too, so to exclude even more people (like the old days when only the elite were able to read relevant sources).
