@peterrhague I've mulled over the question of cyclists and I think the fact that energy must be expended getting up to speed influences their psychology and decision making in the moment: their behaviours are a form of loss aversion.
@NoelCPKelly@peterrhague And yet, as can be observed in so many videos of cyclists (often their own cam footage!), many don't even attempt to brake, or even swerve!
@ILovesTheDiff@peterrhague Yes of course, but the perceived wastage of fuel is several layers more psychologically distant, hence why a motorist will without hesitation brake hard when their own safety is at risk, while many cyclists perplexigly don't do likewise.
@peterrhague For an auto driver, using the brake pedal is no big deal, it's easy to reverse with the accelerator, but for the cyclist breaking represents undoing a considerable amount of physiological effort, and is also accompanied by a sensation of reduced upright stability.

@memeticsisyphus Whole dishes where meat makes up a fraction of the ingredients, like lasagna, is often encoded as an instance of meat consumption in studies I’ve looked into.
@michaelflux@bunkaich Oh my god, I love your solution to the ground pin not being connected. Bugs me so much. I’ve been using the extended cord since it does have grounding.
@EricRichards22 Gravy is extremely easy to make from scratch with 3 ingredients: fat (butter/dripping/lard), flour (plain), and stock in a 1:1:10 ratio by weight. You just brown the flour in the fat (a roux) and then whisk in the hot stock.
@NetLijon_Dev@Mxngls@zetalyrae Because Fourier used the letter i as a running index in his notation and it became mathematical convention and was subsequently incorporated into computer science convention.
What do you mean? The three main actual classes in Britain are the working, middle, and upper (landed aristocracy / capital-owning) class. You could of course also say there is a class below working, who do not actually work, and you could split out the aristocracy and newer wealthy capital owners. Corporate structures these days are blurring the lines due to equity compensation for executives, who in the past would have categorically been middle class, but these days are accruing significant capital control as compensation.
The landed aristocracy have been on the decline, both as a proportion of the upper class and as a proportion of income and wealth, and many old ethnographic descriptions of the classes no longer apply. Language differences between the middle class and the upper class have flattened, and there is much more intermingling and class mobility (upward and downward) these days, yet the three classes and their relationship to each other and the forms of capital remain pretty consistent.
@politicalmath Why on Earth would these companies not immediately disconnect such systems from the Internet following last week’s incident in France‽ Gross negligence.
@SSBak_i@CalicoMold@winternet For most, their behaviour is absolutely working class and they almost always experience a reversion to the mean when the proceeds from the sale of their labour dries up.
@_wyec@CalicoMold@winternet What I described is specific groups of real people and the real relationship between them that have existed since time immemorial under different vocabulary.
@simongerman600 A whole separate colour category for Belgium? lol. It perhaps would make more sense to put red-blue stripes in Belgium and allow people to infer which region does which.
