Vestibular disorders affect people's balance as well as their visual perception of their world around them. Don't make animations, sliders, videos, or rapid movement start automatically, as autoplaying elements could trigger a bad reaction in people who have vestibular disorders.

Habituation seems to explain motonormativity, at least a bit. "...we have come to believe that it is not possible to understand the current period — and the shifts in what counts as normal — without appreciating why and how people do not notice so much of what we live with. " - Tali Sharot & Cass Sunstein https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/25/opinion/brain-habituation-horrors.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Y00.i7VU.rNauneOI4dVE&smid=url-share and https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/31/23579510/car-brain-motornormativity-study-ian-walker.

No one asked me… but if we all viewed the Str0ng T0wns ‘movement’ as having only limited applicability to urban contexts in red areas, we’d all be a lot better off.

Does anyone have a decent e-bike recommendation for the EU (Spain, specifically)? Up to 2000 is okay price wise (I can try and find sales).

I have no idea what the "good brands" or models are at this point; mostly city commuting but I wouldn't be mad if it could take me to other places, as well. Something with good support, reliable, etc, and a nice powerful motor would be great. Also, if that's not available in this price range, just letting me know good brands to check out would be great too. Thank you!

I just realized I want a mask subscription box to exist: ship me a couple random, unexpired N95-or-equivalents every month, packaged in a cute box with cute paper and cute stickers and random related add-ons.

I will gladly overpay for this, please take my money

"Vehicles with advanced driving assist systems that automatically steer, accelerate and brake are popular, but associated with increased driver distraction. This distraction coupled with unreliable autonomous system performance leads to vehicles that may be at higher risk for striking pedestrians."
