Either way, we are on the internet. Pretty international stuff.

Eh, I think its just that the infrastructure rewards having a car and not bikes. I thought the same before, only after experiencing for years the small things that make it possible, have I come around to it.

The little Honda City/Today with its trunk scooter from the 80's was ahead of its time, really. Its a path one should look at in large metropolitan areas. With electric bikes, even cities with large elevation deltas have a chance nowadays.

Hell, you can see it too in the latest F1 movie.

Shots in which the base plate was taken from live footage (crews trained in filming the sport) are stable and show all the action. Shots from Hollywood camera crews can barely keep up.

One may say this is a bad comparison point, and that it was an artistic choice, but I call bullshit on that. So much of the movie was based upon live footage that the ones that didn't just look amateurish.

And yet, both crews are professionals. It is difficult to film these things well.

Unless you have a really cheap production budget, there are multiple races with each race day being preceded by practice times and qualifiers. There's plenty of time to point a lens and get a feel for the tracking speed. It's not like there's a NASA launch weekly/monthly/annually. So yeah, I'm leaning on just an out of sync crew way more than this "anticipating a bad thing happening" theory

I use krita, adobe substance 2024, blender and whatever other software. Professionally.

When I hear these arguments I just think these people are simply chained.

You really shouldn't trust ventoy.

Hell you still find explosives from WW2 all over. It really is difficult.

True that. I used to work in the Netherlands, and sometimes it seemed like every other week the rail network was disrupted by a newly-discovered unexploded bomb, left over from the plastering the Allied air forces gave the Dutch railways.

WW2? We're still finding explosives from WW1 in Belgium

No kink shaming but meanwhile in France : https://www.midilibre.fr/2026/02/01/il-debarque-aux-urgences...

It's also worth pointing out that the front lines in WWI didn't come anywhere close to Toulouse. XD

Just few months ago, a 1,000-pound WWII bomb was found in Hong Kong. The city had been a battlefield between Japanese and Allied forces.

Indeed. With landmines from 90's at least general areas are known, there's signage and if you're not being stupid by venturing way past signage it's all really safe to be around.

Isn't cross language function calling expensive? I assume it is significant.

Honestly same thing, taxis seem to be polite and up to have a chat about anything here. So, not that hyped about these things really.

> There's a common thread that the EU is some awful unaccountable organisation. This tends to mainly come from the US. It's also the line pushed by Russian propaganda for the last 15 years.

Not sure about the US, haven't seen such sentiment much. But from Russia? Yup, lots of EU skeptic parties have ties to Putin or Russia.

Classic divide and conquer.

many pro-europe comments on HN get whacked down to grey once America wakes up
