I am well aware of these events. I am referring to the point about warmer atmospheres causing more clear air turbulence. I don’t believe there is conclusive evidence of this yet, though it is a logical explanation.

I agree that it sounds logical. It might even be true, just saying that it’s not conclusive.

I’ve also seen reports debunking this correlation. I don’t have a source but it may not be as cut and dry as this.

Not as bad from my perception. Though I’m not arguing in favour of cars. I just think mopeds are a strange mobility option to adore. Good public transportation + cycling infrastructure is much more adorable. In the Netherlands, the mopeds are a menace to the safety, quiet, and air quality in cities.

As you point out, they’re not the solution either.

Yeah I love the smell and sound of a million mopeds. Taiwan is known for its urban serenity.

“Security theatre” is what I’ve named the contact in my work phone for the call center I have to call every time I accidentally use the “one time password” more than once (because god forbid they implement proper SSO, meaning I have to do a shotgun login run every morning). When I call them all I tell them is my name and that my account is locked.They click a button and we’re back. Complete waste of time on everyone’s part.
