    Unless you have pepper infrastructure.

    Edit: sorry that's not true, see this from the Netherlands:

    Voor het vierde jaar op rij kwamen meer fietsers (270; 39%) dan inzittenden van personenauto's (194; 28%) om in het verkeer. De meeste doden in het verkeer vallen onder ouderen: in 2023 waren 375 (55%) verkeersdoden 60 jaar of ouder. Kinderen (0-14 jaar) komen juist relatief weinig om in het verkeer; in 2023 waren dat er 20 (3%). Het risico om te overlijden in het verkeer, het aantal verkeersdoden per afgelegde kilometer, is het ho ogst voor gemotoriseerde tweewielers. Het risico voor brom- en snorfietsers en motorrijders is ongeveer dertig keer zo hoog als het risico voor inzittenden van een personenauto. Voor fietsers en voetgangers is het overlijdensrisico respectievelijk acht en zes keer zo hoog als voor auto-inzittenden, in de periode 2012-2021.

    Translation:

    For the fourth year in a row, more cyclists (270; 39%) than passenger car occupants (194; 28%) were killed in traffic. Most traffic fatalities occur among the elderly: in 2023, 375 (55%) traffic fatalities were 60 years or older. Children (0-14 years) are relatively rarely killed in traffic; in 2023 there were 20 (3%).  The risk of dying in traffic, the number of traffic fatalities per kilometer travelled, is highest for motorized two-wheelers. The risk for moped and light-moped riders and motorcyclists is approximately thirty times higher than the risk for passenger car occupants. For cyclists and pedestrians, the risk of death is eight and six times higher, respectively, than for car occupants, in the period 2012-2021.

    That's really interesting! The ending is famous and otherwise well regarded, so the director probably made a good decision - even though I will always disagree :)

    The ending of se7en makes no sense. All the previous victims were murdered because they suffered from one of the seven deadly sins (gluttony, sloth, greed, lust, pride). But the final two victims - that supposedly would complete the list - did not suffer from these sins, but instead the perpetrators murdered them out of envy and wrath. Gwyneth did not suffer from envy, and Brad did not get murdered for his wrath.

    Such a shame because the rest of the movie is great.

    I'm also hesitant. Shows like this can sometimes reel you in n with a stunning representation of a certain historic period, and then completely fall off when the story had nowhere to go.

    I think there are plenty of failsafe mechanisms. But most importantly, if you fail to pay your mortgage, the bank has the right to take possession of your house. Those forces the bank to do it's due diligence with regards to the value of the house. Also, if a bank has been too lenient with its mortgages, it can get into serious trouble - the government here enforces pretty strict rules to prevent people from getting in over their heads.

  • I typically get stuck around this point. I begin with penciling in which numbers pinky have two options per 3x3. If that dries up, I will try looking for numbers that can only go in one spot per row/column and squares that only allow 1 number. Are there powerful techniques I'm skipping?

    Since the latest update, the app sometimes crashes when I'm upvoting, opening a post, etc. I don't know if there are crash logs, but I'm willing to look

    Due to my settings, posts are hidden if I have read them. I find this a very nice setting on the homepage. However, if I submit a post, it doesn't show up because it is instantly marked as read (which is pretty confusing). Also, in a community, I have less of a need to hide posts that I have read, as I might want to revisit them. It would be great if this setting could be applied only for the homepage. But I'm not sure if that is a due to how Lemmy works rather than Jerboa

    I would like to sort comments mostly by top/hot, but sometimes by new. I can't seem to find this feature. An I missing something or is it not developed yet?
