I very much agree that tyre dust is a problem, and that weight is a large issue.

However, these kinds of caveats are routinely used to downplay the level of harm reduction that transitioning ICE cars to EVs would bring. Note how right-wing media basically uses this technique - mostly with the emissions associated with making EV batteries - to justify the continued use of ICE cars.

The antidote is to require numbers for this type of claim.

Fwiw, I don't own any kind of car, I bike and take transit everywhere, and I'm broadly against cars on account of their outsized negative impact on society. I still believe EVs represent a necessary amount of harm reduction.

This comment is not useful unless backed up with data on how much relative emissions this would contribute.

Unless provided, please refrain

I don't think I changed the difficulty-settings.

Realistically, people aren't going to attain their goals trying to do a Twinkie CICO diet though, even though it might be theoretically possible.

I wish people would just move on from posting about CICO already, it's long since outlived its usefulness as a concept

The best form of exercise for you is the form that you actually do consistently week after week. If this means working out at home, then that's fine. Given that you're not trying to break any records, this might just be fine for you.

I've done many different forms of working throughout the years, one of which was to work out at home/local outdoor gym. I did this because there were no gyms at what I considered to be a reasonable distance from home, and I considered that to be too much of an impediment to actually get the work done consistently.

I did get stronger from it, and used it as a part of losing weight, which I wanted on account of being overweight at that time.

I've since stopped doing that routine and moved to lifting weights at a gym, which I considered attainable since I moved to a place with gyms very close by. I did this because working out at home had basically reached a plateau as far as strength was concerned - lifting weights at a gym will get you stronger at a faster pace.

I think checking out the stuff that Hybrid Calisthenics does could be worthwhile for you. Do some stuff at home for now if that feels better for you, and then evaluate later on if it keeps working for you.

How do I get into it? I've tried and it's not really sticking, to be honest.

A quick journey through the microcosm that is the toxic world of fitness influencers.

I wish it was spelled out more clearly in the video, but please don't approach fitness the way this guy did.

No, they are changing the .sln-format, which is only used by Visual Studio itself

Sweden: Late Spring/Early Summer/Early Autumn, approximately May, June and September.

Temperatures between 15-25 °C, low humidity and lots of hours of daylight (18 hours in early June). Great conditions for biking and just all-round pleasant to be in.

Early Spring is too wet, Late Summer is too hot and humid, and Late Autumn is too wet and dark. Winter sucks, unless it's an unusually cold year and we get consistent snow coverage. Wet and extremely dark.

This has nothing to do with EEE.

If there was a real demand for big pockets, there would be money to make in selling those, and big pocket brands would dominate.

I think you might be giving a bit too much credit to the industry here.
