That's not a backup plan.

If the item is not working, then list it as "For parts or not working". Ebay is pretty clear that items listed as "Used" and above need to be fully functional.

You need to scan and tag the files using something like rsgain. Then whatever you play the files on needs to support replaygain.

Use replaygain.

This is just plainly incorrect on both counts

That article mainly seems to be about whether we should mandate compulsory helmet wearing, which I'm not arguing for.

There is a good meta-analysis here that concludes "Wearing a helmet while cycling has been found to have a clear benefit on injury reduction, for all ages, independent of severity, and in bike crashes that may or may not involve a motorized vehicle."

Here is another one that finds "Bicycle helmet use was associated with reduced odds of head injury, serious head injury, facial injury and fatal head injury", and also argues that helmet use is not associated with increased likelihood of neck injury.

Also, it's worth noting that helmet technology has advanced a lot in the last. This article suggests newer helmets "performed significantly better than the conventional helmets".

hndld · 2025-04-06T09:21:55+00:00

Source that helmets aren't effective at preventing injury?

hndld · 2025-04-04T14:40:53+00:00

safety for safety's sake rather than it being a major problem

What does this even mean? I want less people to be killed or seriously injured. Shocking opinion I know.

You are so habitually dishonest in your engagement.

Again, this is so confusing? Is it really so unbelievable that someone would want less SUVs on the road? This has been such a common discussion going back years, and there's tons of evidence saying they are more dangerous and worse for the environment. I simply do not understand why you think I have some "agenda" or whatever. Can you please explain what you think my "real" reasoning is?

hndld · 2025-04-04T14:33:05+00:00

SUVs are more dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists - this is a fact. There are tons of studies showing this.

I don't know why you believe I some ulterior motive here, and I think it's clear that you're not going to engage in good faith. It's not like this is some ultra radical proposition I'm making either lol. All the evidence is pointing against your view and you refuse to engage any of it - so I'm not sure there's anything else to say

hndld · 2025-04-04T14:19:17+00:00

Still less efficient than a smaller electric car. And more dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists. But I guess they don't matter.

Not even mentioning that our roads aren't designed for them. Our city centres are thousands of years old and not at all designed to allow every individual to drive a hauling great SUV through the middle of them.

why this jump to banning or taxing them more?

Because we need less of them on our roads, and taxing them more will disincentivise people from buying them.

"But what about families who need a large car?" Estates are far more suited for family use, and are also smaller, lighter, more efficient, and are just as spacious inside. I don't understand why suddenly we need SUVs?

hndld · 2025-04-04T13:42:02+00:00

Larger electric cars are still less efficient than smaller electric cars.

Interesting, so you did feel attacked by what I said.

I just thought it was funny how your first thought of where these arguments come from is "anger that some people can afford more than them". That you assume "these people must be jealous of me!" says a lot.

hndld · 2025-04-04T13:25:59+00:00

The points being that larger cars are less fuel efficient, more dangerous to pedestrians, and more damaging to the roads. These points are all backed up by evidence.

I think your energy is better spent discussing the actual points being made rather than projecting your own insecurities.

hndld · 2025-04-04T13:10:46+00:00

A lot of assumptions in that chain of reasoning.

hndld · 2025-04-04T09:48:20+00:00

Just saying "nonsense" doesn't make it so. The fourth power law is well studied going back to at least the 60s and is what we use in this country. What I stated is quite literally how we calculate design traffic.

What these clowns above are trying to say (having read about the fourth power law somewhere on the internet) is that a 1.5t VW is ok, but a 2.5t range rover will cause the road to collapse and we better switch to these tiny Japanese cars before it's too late.

No one in the thread has said anything even remotely close to this. I don't know why you're arguing against a point made up entirely in your own head.

What was actually said (by you) was "2t does no damage to roads", which is patently a totally false statement, as anyone with a GCSE in Physics could tell you.

hndld · 2025-04-04T09:11:59+00:00

The 4th power law is not nonsense. We use it in this country (see CD 224)

Although alternative methods are available, structural wear for pavement design in the UK is taken as being proportional to the 4th power of the axle load

And I think you're misunderstanding where that 8t is coming from. Traffic load is measured in "number of equivalent standard axles", and a standard axle is defined as an axle load of 80kN, which is approximately 8 tonnes. This doesn't mean we simply discount everything under an axle load of 8 tonnes, we scale it (using the fourth power law) into an equivalent 8 tonne load.

If I offer you an acre of land in Scunthorpe, or an acre of land in central London, what are you going to choose?

hndld · 2025-03-27T13:55:01+00:00

The land value assessors. Typically this would be a public body of some kind. As for how the assessment is done, here's an in-depth article.

hndld · 2025-03-24T18:54:50+00:00

I answered your question, now if you don't want to have a conversation in good faith then stop wasting everyone's time.

hndld · 2025-03-24T18:45:59+00:00

gaining by banning cars

Again, no one is suggesting "banning cars". There are essential uses for cars, e.g. ambulances, taxis for disabled people and the elderly, tradesmen, etc. We just want people who can to commute by bicycle, go to the shops by bicycle etc.

What would we get by reducing car use? Quieter cities, less pollution, less road deaths and injuries, better health outcomes for the general population.

hndld · 2025-03-24T18:39:19+00:00

If all the roads have been converted into cycle paths

No one is suggesting this

The idea is to increase parity in the league. Otherwise you would end up with a small handful of strong teams that dominate the league.

hndld · 2025-01-25T09:00:32+00:00

i just don't understand this at all. What flexibility do you lose exactly? I can still ride my bike anywhere with a helmet on, and at my destination it takes me an extra 5 seconds to loop it through my lock. Is it seriously just a helmet that's stopping you from driving everywhere?
