Yeah laws or very specialized tools/Maschines can get crazy, but I think our lawmakers are also trolling sometimes with the long titles.

The most german thing is to read that no problem at the first try. But our language is cheating with the combining words thing.

Thank you. That explains so much. I hear this "towing stuff" reason so often and I could never figure put what huge things people think they need to tow that isn't possible with a normal car.

Have americans never heard of a trailer? It's made for that exact use case and you don't have to lug it around for years for the one time you need to use it. They are also super cheap to rent.

Terrible headline.

Lol this would actually be legal in germany. If you are severely disabled you can get a prescription prostitute paid for by your healthcare provider. Makes sense if you ask me, everyone need some human connection.

Somebody is showing us a video that took effort to make and gives us interesting information. That we get to watch for free. How evil.

Sony has never been a consumer friendly brand. This is a bad move.

In my personal experience people judge it to be more like 25-100%. But I stand by 200kcal being nothing. It's not a make it or break it kind of difference. 200kcal more doesn't make someone obese or even fat. If you over eat by 200kcal a day it will take a long time to get fat and you will have years to intervene with a slight change that will fix it. And that would only be in the most extreme case. For most people we are talking about much less than 200kcal. If you have actually only a differnce of let's say 50kcal from the median and cite that as a reason for being over or underweight it's just wrong. But I have seen people use it as a reason so many times.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15534426/

"In humans, the coefficient of variation in the components of total daily energy expenditure is around 5-8% for resting metabolic rate."

That is nothing. That means the most extreme examples of this would be 200-300kcal. It's often just used as an excuse for a bad diet. And people believing in this myth is hindering them in making informed decisions.

Well I usually only ride my bike, so I have barely any use for google maps. I usually use naviki or osmand. Maps is trash for bikes. But sometimes maps is nice to find a shop in the city and see opening times, reviews and a website link.
