The average American spends $10k YEARLY on car. You could buy a new bike every month and still end up paying less.

Here not just bikes talks about winter cycling in Olou, Finland. The answer is yes, the city needs to manage the lanes during winter instead of letting it be acceptable to push snow in bike lanes or leave them uncleared. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhx-26GfCBU

I love how you explicitly defined your requirements to be exclusive to car travel. Riding on a good train or bus network is incredibly easy and affordable in many places, speaking from experience.

It sounds like one of the members of YMCA is a dipshit who insists it is not a gay anthem, and has been able to legally take the rights to the song and YMCA from the original members.

So they move them back 100 feet.

...no, they won't know for a few hundred years due to the actual speed of light and vast distances of space.

Eh, even in "the real world" we still encounter blue wave lengths in the evening. I think it is a matter or reduction (aka not shoving a largely blue light source in your face) than elimination.

I'd also say, the fundamental point of it (that finite cost in life is worth the chance at infinite reward or avoiding infinite punishment) is pretty abysmal morally. Pretty easy to justify atrocities for any concept of God that way as a rational approach to life.

This is really the primary death knell for the argument. Yes, there billions and billions of "god" variations - but at least believing in one might get you a (near-zero) better chance at a decent afterlife.

...until you realize the category of "Gods who dont want your worship".

In this case, mostly being non-imposing in an "elegant" manner

Russia criticizing the US nuclear arms policy is rich, given how they have both loosened their requirements on when they would use nuclear weapons, and have repeatedly and consistently have used nuclear threats as a military strategy since their invasion of Ukraine.

I guess they have to take this position as the US at least has working armaments and not just rusted, unmaintained, weapons.
