jonhanson,

when he had a good campaign message.

This is a hitherto unencountered usage of the term "good".

jonhanson,

"Light Speed Travel Is Possible" - of course it's possible, what speed does the headline writer think light travels at...?

jonhanson,

Should it be possible to login to the app using kbin.social credentials? Doesn't seem to work for me.

jonhanson,

Thanks. I appear to be blocking what Kbin calls magazines. So far I've blocked 30 meme magazines, 8 of which were called "memes" (albeit on different domains). Not quite sure what I'm achieving as more appear each day.

The regulation of the European Parliament and the Council will apply to all batteries including all waste portable batteries, electric vehicle batteries, industrial batteries, starting, lightning and ignition (SLI) batteries (used mostly for vehicles and machinery) and batteries for light means of transport (e.g. electric bikes, e-mopeds, e-scooters).

Not just phones either.

jonhanson,

Perhaps I should have been more clear. I didn't mean it's a direct substitution for "from where", just that that's its meaning. A grammatical translation of the sentence would be "go back to where you came from".

TIL that the first person to receive a speeding ticket was going 8 mph.

According to Guinness World Records, the first person charged with speeding was Walter Arnold from Paddock Wood, Kent. On 28 January 1896, Arnold was seen going 4 times the allowed 2 mph speed limit in his Benz. The constable pursued him on his bicycle, issuing a ticket for £4 7s (roughly £260 in today’s money), of which 10...

jonhanson,

In the same year Bridget Driscoll became the first recorded case in Great Britain of a pedestrian to be killed in a collision with a motor car. The car was traveling at 4mph.
