It's not just one country. Isle of Man and Australia also have roads without a speed limit. Although only the latter has roads long enough to actually reach considerably high speeds

One thing to account for is that humans are very inefficient at converting food into energy output. Only about 25% efficient to be precise. So you need to eat about 4 times more calories than you end up outputting into the bicycle.

The same thing applies to ICE cars, their engines are also very inefficient. EVs however reach an efficiency of 80-90%, they only end up using more energy than a bicycle because of how much faster you usually drive them. But if you drove an EV at the same speed you would ride a bicycle they would be vastly more efficient. And that's not even accounting for the amount of energy used to produce food in the first place, which is a lot higher than the energy content of said food.

The superior choice is obviously an electric bicycle though when you want to have the most sustainable transportation, you get all of the efficiency gains from a battery operated motor, whilst still having the low weight and drag of a bicycle

I disagree. Processing power may be similar, but Nvidia still outperforms with raytracing, and more importantly DLSS.

Whats the point of having the same processing power, when Nvidia still gets more than double the FPS in any game that supports DLSS

Lucky you, I've had to swap VPN providers on multiple occasions due to them dropping support for Port forwarding, which in turn breaks your ability to use it for torrenting

It's a thing, it's just run by the same companies, so you're stuck with them either way.

Are you saying you have to pay those companies for access to satellite TV? In Germany it's completely free, except for the cost of buying and setting up a satellite dish of course.

And ISPs here aren't exclusively cable TV companies. Internet over coax cable does exist, but since there is competition from DSL and Fiber ISPs it's actually priced very competivitely

I dualboot Linux and hackintosh, mostly for Affinity and Fusion360

Onshape and Fusion360 both have tons of great tutorials available, and they are completely free for non-commercial use. There is a reason those are used by almost everyone in the 3d printing community.

It's very common here in Germany

Is satellite TV not a thing in America?

That comparison is so bad that I'm not sure you are making it in good faith. Being mentally handicapped or belonging to a minority is not a choice, being obese is.

If you make the conscious choice to be obese you really can't complain about the consequences the same way the former can. And you especially can't complain about people referring to you by the medically correct term

My experience of doing GOMAD disproves that, I've had plenty of occasions where I drank it in a single session instead of spreading it out through the day.. But it may or may not be possible if you aren't accustomed to drinking a gallon of milk every day

You can't get shadowbanned by subreddits. You are either shadowbanned across reddit completely, or the /r/conservative mods gave you a regular ban from their subreddit. It's also possible your comment/post is stuck in moderation queue and therefore not visible to others until it gets manually approved by a moderator
