Any browsers except the minimal servoshell yet?

Is it faster to start up? Is it less snoopy? Are these in some FAQ I missed?

Yes, Forester was more brazen than many of his fans. His use of anecdata is the sort of argument that gets dismantled on social media and bike forums. It's amazing he got away with it for so long, with his books being re-printed and updated. Maybe highways designers who didn't want to bother with cyclists were happy that an 'avid cyclist' gave them a reason not to, so ignored the silly footnotes and bad references.

It does say billions of pounds bet, so probably one of Entain, Evoke, Flutter or bet365, as not many others are that big.

I suspect people disliked both of the approaches you suggested, or thought it was a false dilemma fallacy, but downvotes rarely come with explanations.

Contact your local MEP. Ask your local MP or Deputy or whatever you call them to push the relevant minister to oppose it. It's not great, but you do have a say.

Because there are some that are, because they contain dangerous design errors. So Forester fans find a city that made a load of serious mistakes in their bike paths, get the collision data, and bingo: an example where bikeways are more dangerous than roads.

If you tire of it calling out Forester for anecdata and rehashing data to disagree with the authors who collected the data, the last 12 minutes ties it up pretty well.

Belgium has a single Chief Head of Defence. In Belgium, the Joint Chiefs are some guys who figured how to get supplies from Dutch coffee shops!

Maybe, but still more tiring than being able to coast through on a more direct, comfortable and convenient cycleway instead of a motorway limited by sucky truck turning radii and visibility.

Article rests on one expert. That assistant professor's publication list doesn't seem to contain evidence about it, plus the quotes in the article don't directly say it happens.

Maybe it does, but that article only seems to be guessing based on (admittedly reasonable) theory.

Got proof? I've not cracked open a phone for a while to see if the component labelling matches the interface, let alone tested capacity of an extracted battery directly.
