Is it so hard to paint "RESCUE TRAINING" on props like these with big letters so that confusion can be avoided?

"Nothing happened! See, it is not such a big deal."
Somebody who doesn't understand that the effect is cumulative. Just like a heavy rainstorm one day may be manageable but if it happens every day you have a flood.
We need to do better.
In total, officers seized a staggering 551 kg of cocaine and 441 kg of crystal meth
Yeah, this wasn't some unlicensed weed.
in theory a lot or europeans are still living comfortably off of the horrific crimes they committed
in practice i doubt this money would come from those most responsible
A few Europeans from a few countries committed horrific crimes over half a century ago. Leopold III of Belgium in the 1950s during the independence of the Congo being the most modern example I'm aware of, and he died forty years ago.
If we are talking about the slave trade bound to the US, that ended a century and a half ago. Not that things turned instantly great for the freed slaves, of course.
So how much should we chastize people who were not even born when these things happened, and how much reparation needs to be paid to people who were not even born when it happened either? Because the way things work in the real world, I fear that in the end it will be middle class folks who will be paying "reparations" that will do nothing but fill the pockets of a few corrupt politicians from the receiving countries.
Don't leave us hanging! Are you still stuck sitting on the toilet browsing Lemmy?
Plus, some people have kids under 5
Yup, that's us. We walk, use transit, or the kid rides on her bike child seat.
E-bikes exist if you don't have the legs to tackle those hills yet.
I wish i could also move more people with me on the bicycle
Depending on the size of those people: bike child seat, bike trailer, or they can ride their own bicycle. Cargo bikes can easily carry two kids or one adult without even using a trailer.
It would also be great if there was some sort of heater/AC in it as well
That is called "dress for the weather". Even snowflake pinko commies like me can do it.
I rode in all weather for years
Same. And that includes snow and ice, for those at the back that think that riding a bike in winter is only possible in LA. If people can walk in that weather, people can ride a bike even more easily as the exercise keeps you warmer.
I wish private vehicles were taxed yearly based on the damage they do to the roads divided by the average number of passengers based on vehicle type. Road damage scales with vehicle weight to the fourth power.
What a terrible day to be literate. Why am I not surprised to read that he is a conservative 🙄
We need any help we can get to net zero carbon emissions, and lab-grown meat is one of the many things that moves the needle in the right direction. Not everybody is going to ride a bicycle and switch to a vegan diet, so the more low-carbon alternatives we make available, the better.
Many years ago we got lucky and a recently-graduated doctor took us under her roster. Not losing that is one of the reasons we hesitate to move to a different place, even though our doctor is pretty much only doing phone appointments since the pandemic began.
