Interesting study. Might need to start hitting the gym again then.

So, just science being science then? Disagreements have always been a part of science, and always will be. The only important factor is how they are handled. Think a study is flawed? Repeat it, and change the flaws to see if the results differ significantly. But openly discrediting any evidence (for or against a case) without testing is as unscientific as it gets. I believe the person at the end also has a point: yeah, we don’t know if microplastics are as bad as they say, but better safe than sorry.

Forced upgrades (or downgrades) really are the worst. Same for opt-out services instead of opt-in. Give choice back to the customer goddammit!

Losing your house is great for reconnecting with nature I guess

First angle was already nice, but now I’m jealous that I don’t get views like that 🥲

I know OpenStreetMap exists as an alternative, but I don’t know if it has decent driving directions. You could check it out and see if it has what you want/need.

Nice view! Hope you can stay warm out there.

There’s more than just CO₂ coming from combustion engines though, like nitrogen and sulfur containing compounds, which can in turn cause secondary pollution. Cumulatively, I think those pollutants have a bigger effect on human health than the road particles. Also, these road particles still get ripped up by regular cars, even if it’s to a lesser extent. So overall I’m still convinced that EVs are a step in the right direction. We can’t know for sure until more studies are performed.

Funny how reddit isn’t on the list (or maybe I’m blind), but I guess it doesn’t really have to be since we’re already here anyway.

I took Latin too, but then I realised it was just French but even more boring too learn :/

I’d imagine the amount of road particles ripped up is less than the amount of CO₂, NO_x, ozone and other pollutants and fine particles emitted by combustion engines, but I’m no expert. Only time will tell, but at least short-term the results seem positive.

Might seem dull some people, but I think you did a good job for the community.

I took one of my country’s official languages in high school and I still speak it like shit …

Like all countries, there’s some good and bad things to say, but I think that investing in renewables was a very smart move on their part.

It’s always nice to see some good news in the shitshow that is modern day life, makes me hopeful that a better future is still possible. I hope that one day Beijing (and the rest of the world) can go back to clean air 365 days a year.
