Only people who need to drive a car should be allowed to drive a car anywhere near a city, e.g. people who work door to door, people who are disabled, etc.
Countryside driving is fine. If going to a city, you just have to drive to a parking outside of the city where you then take the public transport. And those who live in cities must leave their cars there too.
Everyone else must walk or cycle from home to public transport.
Cars just destroy everything, they make everything ugly:
- this was extremely clear to Ciro Santilli as a cyclist. He previously lived in a place with few cars and the countryside was so pleasant. Then he moved to a place with more cars and it was shocking. It's a mixture of pollution, noise, and the fact that roads cut up the countryside that just make things not pleasant at all. Dual lane roads in particular are just a terrible thing. You can hear them from afar, much before you see them.
- even within cities, cars completely dehumanize the streets. For example, Ciro once lived in a small dead end street, and he would have gladly opened his front window more often to meet the neighbours. But just the noise of cars passing by every so often makes it impractical to work like that.
The Zatoichi effect applies well to the problem of cyclists:This is the main drama faced by cyclists.
- they are not really pedestrians, and pedestrian paths are not suitable to them because they are too narrow, of not smooth, or curved. But pedestrians will always have enough political power to have their paths, because they live around the paths
- they are not really motor vehicles, because motor vehicle paths are too wide and too fast for them. But motor vehicles will always have enough political power to have their paths, because people are lazy and stupid, and because as the world stands, individually you just don't have any reasonable choice to go anywhere.
Lobbying groups:
His combination of politically incorrect dirt talk with amazing quirky decks captures Ciro's imagination.
Anonymous no face-reveal.
The videos are heavily edited with all pauses cut out, which makes them very quick to watch and saves viewer time.
Modern focused, with some occasional newer formats mixed in.
When Wizards publishes several useless sets in a row without a single modern playable card, he's just forced into Standard.
Physical systems refer to any collection of physical entities that interact according to the laws of physics. These systems can consist of matter, energy, and various physical interactions, and they can be as simple as a single particle or as complex as a galaxy. Physical systems can be studied across various fields of science, including physics, engineering, and chemistry. Physical systems can be classified in several ways: 1. **Open vs.
Unsolved problems in physics refer to questions and phenomena that remain unexplained despite extensive research and experimentation. These problems often span various fields of physics, including theoretical physics, particle physics, cosmology, and condensed matter physics. Here are some notable examples of unsolved problems in physics: 1. **Quantum Gravity**: One of the major challenges in theoretical physics is reconciling general relativity, which describes gravitation on a large scale, with quantum mechanics, which governs subatomic particles.
Lie theory is a branch of mathematics that studies Lie groups and Lie algebras, which are foundational structures in various areas of mathematics and theoretical physics. Named after the Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie, the theory originated in the study of continuous symmetries and their applications to differential equations and geometry.
Physics events refer to occurrences or phenomena that can be studied, analyzed, or measured within the field of physics. These events can take many forms and cover a wide range of topics, such as: 1. **Experimental Events**: These involve controlled experiments where physical laws can be tested, such as particle collisions in accelerators, measurements of gravitational waves, or observations of quantum phenomena.
The vector potential is a mathematical concept used primarily in the fields of electromagnetism and fluid dynamics.
Foundations of mathematics is a branch of mathematical logic that seeks to understand the fundamental concepts and principles that underpin mathematics as a whole. It explores the nature of mathematical objects, the validity of mathematical reasoning, and the scope and limitations of mathematical systems. The field addresses several key areas, including: 1. **Set Theory**: This is the study of sets, which are collections of objects.
"As I was going to St. Ives" is a well-known English nursery rhyme and riddle. The poem begins with the speaker describing their journey to St. Ives, where they encounter a number of people and animals. The riddle aspect lies in the question of how many were going to St. Ives, as it plays with the details given throughout the poem.
The history of computing is a fascinating journey that chronicles the evolution of computing machinery, algorithms, and the general concept of computation. Here’s an overview of key developments throughout this history: ### Ancient to Medieval Periods - **Abacus (circa 500 BC)**: The earliest known computing device, used for basic arithmetic calculations. - **Antikythera Mechanism (circa 150 BC)**: An ancient Greek analog computer used to predict astronomical positions and eclipses.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.
