You live in an urban area right?

Yes, like about 80-85% of Norwegians inhabitants do. https://www.ssb.no/en/befolkning/folketall/statistikk/tettsteders-befolkning-og-areal.

Of course, if you live in the woods in the middle of nowhere a bike won't get you far in winter, but neither gets you a car until the snowplow has come through and dug you out. Skis are much more useful in these conditions.

I've lived in the North and commuted by bike except for days with extreme weather conditions. And again, you shouldn't be driving then either. Now that I'm a bit older I'd go for an electric bike though, I think.

cars needs far less winter path clearing than all but the best fat tire bikes

I drive a regular city bike, nothing fancy, just studded tires. I'm talking about Norway here, so studded tires are the norm in winter for almost any vehicle. I prefer biking especially in winter because of the amount of cars stuck on the roads. With the bike I'm flexible, I can drive around obstacles or impasses, worst case lift it over a ditch to make my way somewhere else. On an average day I'm at least twice as fast biking than I would be driving.

Teams pretends it's an app that can do a lot of things at once but for literally all of the things it pretends to be good at it is the worst possible choice.

Clearly the Geneva Convention or basic human rights don't apply on another planet, let alone another galaxy. At least that's what l learned from playing Rimworld.

They removed russian maintainers that are associated with sanctioned companies. Individual russian contributers were unaffected by this.

Last Jedi

That's cheating, none of that movie made any sense whatsoever.

Could you post the median values or even better visualise the distributions or give the data? Sauber had a few really bad pit stops at the beginning of the season which pulls their average down a lot, but doesn't affect the median that much.

Has nobody learned from KSP2? First you release the unfinished game, promise to fix everything, and only then you close the studio, not the other way around.

People give Anno 1800 too little credit, other than that I agree.

This is a manmade problem though. We exterminated all or most of the predators that would usually do the duty of population control in our stead, because said predators didn't differentiate between livestock and wild animals.

Not just him, it's also negatively affecting other people around him. The smoke doesn't just stop at an invisible barrier where the smoking area ends and the non-smoking area begins.
