This downplay of the helmet debate may be true in countries without MHL, but for Oz it’s a crucial debate because MHL is a key block to cycling uptake and wider transport reform.
@Tdr1nka I agree exchanges should be courteous but would be wary of any 'debate'.
Chris Boardman put it well: “I think the helmet issue is a massive red herring. It’s not even in the top 10 of things you need to do to keep cycling safe or more widely, save the most lives.”
@ayndy_randy @RussKlettke@curious_founder Reading your comments on this thread is like having an aneurysm. I know this is not a polite thing to say to a stranger on the internet, nor a way to win over a person to green energy, but on this topic you’re talking like a real fucking idiot.
@StevenloweLowe@grillermo@fastworkers6 Just because its theoretically recyclable doesn't mean it is recycled. Vast majority of the time it isn't, and the infrastructure for that often doesn't even exist.
@peteradamkovics @bikesnobnyc Well there’s a great opportunity for a new player to enter the market with electronic shifter that works with all combinations of derailer and cassette.
@meric_ekinci@paulisci If I lived in a culture that mercilessly prized virginity above all other virtues in women and also had honour killings and sharia law, I’d say a bicycle ‘took my virginity’ aka broke my hymen too.
And it may very well have, I like to ride my bikes pretty hard.
@KFlyy23@JackSlackMMA Nate is never going to get a chance for any submission. Khamzat will get mount in the first round and knock him senseless till the ref steps in. Just like Makachev v Green but faster and worse
@_pseudo_name@emdashklatt Metamorphosis. Read it as a young teen on my own selection. Easily the best and most memorable Kafka story at that age. I could relate.
@cyclite I use anti-histamine sometimes to treat my mild insomnia, but I use the first gens like polaramine. Cetirizine is a second gen, designed to be less drowsy.
@amna_mir@dopefish_lives@hilaryagro Ghamidi was threatened & forced out of Pakistan for his niche views. Its good that scholars like Ghamidi are trying to liberalize Islam. After all, that happened in Christianity, arguably helping secularisation. But it’s a problem for muslims such scholars are harassed & exiled.
@amna_mir@dopefish_lives@hilaryagro What are your “other credible Islamic sources” for that? Honestly I’ve never heard anyone deny Ayesha wasn’t 9 when married. It’s incorrect based on what I just linked.
@amna_mir@dopefish_lives@hilaryagro Do you think Ayesha was 17+ though she was playing on a swing when called to marry? Or even though she kept playing with dolls after marriage? Or are these scholars not credible? https://t.co/qguA0xJADl
