NPR: More U.S. cyclists are being killed by cars. Advocates say streets are the problem. (May 2022)

  • 100% it's more dangerous in the US -- just look how dangerous it is be a pedestrian, or even drive a car in the US. In almost every big city I've been in, the number of drivers that no longer care about the rules is much too high.

    Speeding (i.e. going 40MPH+ in 25MPH zones), taking blind turns without caution, distracted driving -- all of that and more are basically normalized along with the injuries and deaths that come along with them.

    I would love to ride my bike more regularly, but sadly that is not going to be possible when I would have to ride roads that are 30MPH, but almost every driver drives through at 50MPH+.

    [USA Today] Tarantulas in Texas are popping out of the earth. Here's what they're looking for.

  • I was under the impression that USA Today would at least have an editor.

    Favourite Food Scales?

  • From my experience, if you need more significant digits (i.e. 1.5g or 1.05g) for grams you should look into a coffee scale. For my purposes the only things that need that level of accuracy are from baking (mostly for yeast and salt weights). For most other cases, I have a super cheap one (https://www.amazon.com/Ozeri-ZK14-S-Digital-Multifunction-Kitchen/dp/B004164SRA) and something more significant when I need to weigh something bulky (https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-Stainless-Pull-Out-Display/dp/B079D9B82W).
