I was being hyperbolic in my comments anyway. My commute is basically always by bike unless there's a thunderstorm.

I know the Brooklyn Bridge has lightning rods but the idea of being on the bridge on an e-bike in a lightning storm, 60 meters in the air is too much.

2022 numbers show motorcycles at 2/3rds the GHG emissions as cars.

So 2 people in 1 car is better than 2 motorbikes but 1 motorbike is easily better than 1 car.

That story is over a decade old and looks at motorcycles that aren't anything close to modern standards.

Modern 4 stroke motorcycles are more fuel efficient and all around less polluting than cars.

None of this really matters as the best form of transportation is obviously mass transit, walking or bicycle but it does make sense to split out motorcycle.

I mean how bad can the fabs be - they'll be running ASML EUV machines right?

My understanding is that motorcycles (especially modern motorcycles) produce significantly less CO2 equiv than modern cars - in no small part due to their ability to not get caught in traffic.

Most commuters are 1 person per vehicle.

Hi! Professional android dev here who has done some work on migrating an app to foldable:

Apps don't guess. If they're using XML they make specific layouts for a given width of screen.

If they're using compose it's even easier: the entire UI library is built for adaptive layouts. The main issue is a lot of apps are not in compose UI (or not entirely) - and material 3 has excellent components but it's even less widely used.

Tldr: tech debt

A potential cause of the wonkiness is explicitly setting resizeableActivity="false" in the app manifest.

Climate impact is significantly less for motorcycle riders, that's the only mitigation I can think of.

Another demonstration of how NYC is the only real city in America and anywhere else is a suburb larping as a metropolis.

You can't call yourself a metropolis unless half the population uses public transit: change my view.

I'm pretty sure Saunas have existed for a long time.
