I agree, large cars are generally much more lethal to pedestrians, due to their shape, not kinetic energy.

Thats not how kinetic energy works, no pedestrian is heavy enough to stop any car, small or large.


eh, you know what, fair enough!


way to shift blame


oh wow I didn’t know that!
would make sense to give more a lot incentives for EV buying if so!

It is also chromium based, so stands to get the same nerf.


What would be better though?
I have my problems with mozilla, but between apple, google and mozilla, they absolutely win in my book.
While I’m completely disinterested in football, and I do think the craze is often more than a bit much, this is just overly reductionist. Does everything one cares about and finds fun/interesting necessarily need to have intrinsic value? I’d say no.


a real life example? you mean like a photo of a person next to a router?


hot wall?
Given some cinnamon buns I’ve had in in my life, they could have just as well been heated drywall. ;)


That is a mistranslation. It wasn’t cinnamon buns, it was hetvägg, a type of cardamom bun swimming in sweetened hot milk/cream.

14 cinnamon buns would be rookie numbers


they never specified it to be scientific or rigorous.


This could have been amazing if integrated into a district heating network.

this sends a clear message though. No the old “just hook them, then we have guaranteed income forever” isn’t actually working. That’s great.
You have it backwards. Larger vehicles of course have more energy, but pedestrians are too light for that to make a difference.
If you get hit by an oil tanker ship going ~1 kmh, that ship has orders of magnitude more kinetic energy than a car at highway speed, yet, unless theres a wall or something, the ship will merely push you harmlessly aside.
Its about the manner of delivery, not the vehicles energy.
Larger cars are more dangerous because they hit you higher up, where you have more vital organs.
