This is the classic argument for loud bikes, and it shows a lack of understanding physics and human nature.

Physics, the sound is generated by the exhaust pointing backwards, this means that the sound doesn't propagate well ahead of the bike, but way better behind the bike.

Human nature, human nature when hearing a loud sound is to find the source, however, by the time a driver has heard the sound the source have often passed, causing a needless distraction. Also, bikes tend to make a very basy sound, this is terrible for humans to hear the direction of.

Finally, if bikers are so concerned about being noticed by other drivers, why don't they wear high visibility vests and trousers?

You know what is faster than a motor bike?

Radiowaves.

The police patrol knows the direction that the biker is going, call a patrol there.

Light is also faster than a motor bike, get a recording of the license plate and use that to find it.

Or if the church/neighbours simply start logging the guy's schedule, give it to the police and have them wait for him.

I will never forget when I had to help a coworker with her laptop, she had long nails that had worn grooves in her keyboard keys.

She typed on her nails, the sound it made was terrible.

The only possible way I can think of is if you can contact the admins on Reddit and prove you are the owner of the account, then they might be able to reset the pw and send it to you.

However, I would not hold out much hope for this, getting this wrong would be very bad, possibly opening Reddit up for legal action, getting it right won't really matter to them, so they probably have rules about denying these kinds of requests.

Correct, which is why I regretted posting it as soon as i did.

It looks deleted to me, I am using Voyager when I am on my phone, so a well known app, I suspect that the comment I wrote made it to the sync queue, I then immediately deleted the comment, which deleted it on lemmy.zip but didn't clear the comment from the sync queue, but did generate a delete request to be synced.

Then as a sync request probably would be smaller than a comment and probably has a higher priority than a comment, it got processed before the comment was posted, creating the situation we have.

I have no indepth understanding of lemmy, but as an IT guy, this makes sense

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

Exactly, which is why I deleted the comment just after I made it as I realized I didn't have the energy to debate the issue

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago

I am confused, this is the second reply I get on a comment I deleted just after posting it.

I did so as I realized that I didn't have the energy to debate my smartphone preference with random people online

This misses the point completely, I have tried both Android and iOS in the last five years, and to me iOS is just better, it works like I want it to.

This was broadcast on state television in Sweden in the 90s...

I remember watching it back then, having zero idea of what what going on but liking the bright colors...

The main part is just a guy doing a one man show for kids on a terrible CGI background.

There are also weird CGI shorts, music videos, puppetry, badly drawn cartoons, a weird gameshow with teddy bears, bad music videos.

I realize that they are all speaking Swedish, but trust me, this is from an era just breaking out of heavy moralizing and the segments of the show are constantly overbaering with trying to tech kids stuff.

It is not without it's charm though, I kinda like the gameshow part, even if the concept is a bit contrived... But I like the attention to detail and how nicely made it is.
