  • Man, new age Sonic R would go crazy

  • From the study:

    Although, our findings suggest that e-scooterists may be safer than e-cyclists in urban environments, we only considered crashes involving injured riders using a shared system in a few European city centers in one year. We also assumed that underreporting—an important and well-documented issue especially for micromobility—affects e-scootering and e-cycling equally. Furthermore, the relatively small number of e-cyclist injuries in some of the studied cities (and the absence of reported e-bicycle injuries in two cities) highlights the limitation of the dataset and introduces a degree of uncertainty into the injury rate comparisons. We did not consider whether post-crash consequences and injuries may be more severe on an e-bicycle (where the rider seats higher and dismounting may be harder) than on an e-scooter. It is important to acknowledge that injury data were self-reported by users. However, in the context of this study, where users had no clear incentive to misrepresent injuries, we believe the potential for misreporting is limited. Finally, we assumed the two customer populations to be equivalent. Therefore, while our study is enough to challenge the current scientific literature portraying e-scootering as riskier than cycling, our study does not provide conclusive evidence that one vehicle is safer than the other.

    Rented e-bicycles more dangerous than e-scooters in cities

  • Interesting study. I'm no statiscian but the number of ebike crashes vs escooter crashes anaylzed is wildly different - 35 vs 686. The article says it's still statistically significant, but I can't help feel weird about comparing 3 ebike crashes and 156 escooter crashes in Liverpool.

  • Well, I haven't actually used it myself since I run a wired headset, but I have heard good things about it, and I've had a better experience with Monado than SteamVR, and Wivrn is based on Monado. I think it's worth checking out: https://lvra.gitlab.io/docs/fossvr/wivrn/

  • Wow, I am not sure how I didn't find this one...

    Maybe I'll just use that one then.

  • The "simple" controls really do end up feeling a bit more complex when you have multiple special buttons. Honestly the control scheme feels really tailored to pad in general.

  • I don't think a heave is ever going to be a game deciding shot though really, so I don't think it matters much. I see it as being purely better for spectators and players - players don't worry about harming their stats, and spectators get the chance to watch a full court heave go in.

  • Have you tried Wivrn?

  • I remember seeing something similar, but from a quick search it seems that there's a few conflicting studies. This one says it affects balance though, I think:

    The acquisition of postural control is an elaborate process, which relies on the balanced integration of multisensory inputs. Current models suggest that young children rely on an ‘en-block’ control of their upper body before sequentially acquiring a segmental control around the age of 7, and that they resort to the former strategy under challenging conditions. While recent works suggest that a virtual sensory environment alters visuomotor integration in healthy adults, little is known about the effects on younger individuals. Here we show that this default coordination pattern is disrupted by an immersive virtual reality framework where a steering role is assigned to the trunk, which causes 6- to 8-year-olds to employ an ill-adapted segmental strategy. These results provide an alternate trajectory of motor development and emphasize the immaturity of postural control at these ages.

  • I wonder why every social media app decided they needed stories. It was cool and novel on Snapchat but then everyone decided they needed to copy Snapchat, lol.

  • Spotify and YouTube Music are the only streaming services I have found that make it easy to integrate songs that aren't on streaming into your collection, and I don't like YouTube Music so Spotify it is.

  • On your instance of choice, at least on the default mobile site, there's an "instances" button you can click at the bottom and it'll give you a list of every instance that this instance federates with and blocks.
