Electric scooters are considered a “light electric vehicle”, but they have basically the same rules and obligations as normal bicyclists (they’re supposed to stay in the bike lane, etc). But the scooters aren’t allowed to go faster than 25km/h, and you need to be over 15 to use one.

What benefits would Discover customers get from Capital One’s acquisition? Discover acceptance in the US has been almost on-par with Visa/MC for many many years.

Diners Club is Discover, and they got bought up by Capital One a couple months ago. So you’ll only really have Amex left.

Only on “I have really bad SEO” kinds of blogs. Query strings have been considered a negative thing for many many years.

sniff 5000mg of ketamine daily … same as 2000mg if directly injected

You need to check your math and/or how much of your product was bunk. Or you were a long-term user who built up that unique perma-tolerance.

But yeah, the journalist most likely got the terms wrong. Because no one is producing ampoules with just 5mg ketamin each. It’s more likely they were 5mL ampoules with 100mg/mL.

DSM

Miss me with that American junk :P But with the same logic, would you also say that gender incongruence is a mental disorder? It’s in the same books, in similar sections. It’s faux pas to call something a mental disorder without focusing on why it’d be that.

The ICD (and I would hope the DSM) focuses mostly on the distress the patient gets from their condition. Someone’s attraction to kids, without any actions, isn’t enough to get diagnosed, as it’s simply a paraphilia. If they’re distressed by it, or act out, then it’s a diagnostic criteria and something they’d be able to get treatment for.

Nah, pedophilia is a paraphilia. And if someone suffers from pedophilic disorder, it’s kinda impossible for anyone other than healthcare to know that – unless they’ve made some attempts to abuse someone.

second question, aborting an active download not shutting the terminal down: neither ctrl+z nor ctrl+q work and opening htop to kill the process seems overkill. What I now do is to simply shut the active tab, but there must be a faster way.

Ctrl+C.

You can still consult with various interest groups without allowing actually lobbying, but I get what you mean.

Even opposite-sex incest became legal in Sweden a couple years back. The law previously said “forbidden to have sexual intercourse with a sibling”, but they changed it to “forbidden to have vaginal intercourse with a sibling”. No idea if it was the (right-wing) government’s intention to legalize gay-brother-sex at the same time, but here we are.

wtf I love Norway now? Sweden is at like 2%.

But Norway’s Linux spiked up to almost 30% in July 2024 as well. So I don’t really trust these sites. My guess is that it’s due to Tesla’s web browser or something? Tesla is the most popular electric car brand in Norway: 77k Model Y and 50k Model 3 are registered, and the only model with higher numbers is the Nissan Leaf with 81k, but that’ll be taken over very shortly (so far in 2025, there have been over 11k Model Y registrations, with the next runner-up being the Toyota BZ4X with 4,6k)

I thought they were referring to kayfabe? But I know nothing about wrestling.

I’m not going for bulk, I’m going for tone.

where is exactly all the data stored currently?

Hopefully in the EU, as the EU-US DPF is garbage and should be repealed just like the previous “Privacy Shield” attempts.
