I'm here to ask the grand question yet again:

Is that the raw deaths per vehicle, or does it equalize relative vehicle popularity?

I assume that there are a fair bit more cars on the roads than there are motorbikes, which means that we would not be able to compare them otherwise. Unless, of course, if one simply is trying to sow discord.

And even when they apply to bikes, they don "apply" to most bikes anyway.

Mærsk is testing wind and electrical power on their fleet. Won't make the ships 100% self-sufficient, but will hopefully lower the impact of the vessels.

Jup. I think I've had some 3 actual issues the past 2 years on EndeavourOS. But the Endeavour team did a good job of warning me on Discord/RSS or at least provide tutorials and explanations afterwards.

One of the issues was in regard to Grub (fixed by Timeshift rollback and a one-liner), one was in regard to some rogue Nvidia bug crashing the login window (fixed by Timeshift rollback and waiting a few days before updating again), and one was Nvidia removing support for GTX1000 cards and older (Nvidia, WHYYYYYYYY?!).

For reference, I had what felt like similar annoying bugs (and much worse) on Windows 10 about every month, but without any useful support from Microsoft. :(

EDIT: speaking of the devil. A fourth issue just popped up.

Sure, but going to a proper restaurant tends to cost a bit more than doing it yourself.

Like, making some roasted pork with steamed veggies, sauce, and potatoes takes some 10+40 minutes of preparation and about 10 minutes of cleanup, and it costs me about 25$ (and is, of course, not including any deals). That's for 4 grownups, plus some leftovers for lunch next day.

Obviously food and restaurant prices differ wildly depending on where you live, but I'm not sure I could get a decent and healthy takeout/restaurant meal for less than 60$ for 4 people in my area (assuming that 4 kebabs can be considered "decent and healthy").

That'd leave me with a hourly "food-wage" of roughly 35$ (or 75$ if we'd assume 100$ for takeout), which I think is acceptable. I'd not make more than that after taxes either way.

And now we have those who'd rather work for recreation, and those who'd rather work as recreation. I can find better things to spend my money on than food.

I have to confess that I do not know how every European language says it, but I do know that both German and Danish say and write the equivalent of "o' clock/on the clock", eg. "Klokken, Uhr".

The only time I've seen "x hours" used, is either in programming, that abomination that is "military time", or when defining time from now, eg. "Let's meet in 4 hours, at 20 on the clock".

16 hours is mostly an American military way to say it. 16 on the clock (or similar for different languages) is the main European way to say it.
