Suppose that you - hypothetically - posted something stupid in good faith and you got a reply full of swearing. How would you respond?

Only the part that was quoted comes from chatgpt. And there is no need to swear.

FWIW, ChatGPT says DTwP was replaced in the US "in the 1990s, after DTaP approval in 1991."
The switch was probably gradual. The manufacturer wouldn't have the full production capacity ready immediately after approval. License date confirmed here: www.immunize.org/vaccines/vac...

In this case, it isn't real. Reality is bad enough; no need to make up stuff.

As a non-American I don't see that much difference between how the American left and right respond to misinformation attacks on the other side. Hundreds of cheering replies without fact checking.

P.S. Dunlap showed an ID card, not driver's license, but it works the same.

Why would he doxx himself by showing his address if the point is to show his name?
The statement about real ID only means that you cannot use it for boarding airplanes and various other non-driving related things. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_ID...

I don't get the love for pick up trucks. In Europe, workers use vans (from sedan size to 15 mΒ³/500 ftΒ³), which will protect the goods from weather and thieves and which have a far lower load floor. Landscapers who move dirty stuff use trailers or occasionally a pick up on a van frame.

Paris introduces triple parking fees for SUVs Residents of Paris have voted to introduce a new parking tariff for SUVs, with drivers now required to pay three times more than smaller passenger cars.

Paris charges cars for parking based on weight; cutoff 1600 kg (3500 lbs); a bit more for EVs. There are exemptions. No paywall:

Eddy DeGoei: Door de vele vliegbewegingen tussen BelgiΓ« en Afrika zal ons land altijd een bovengemiddeld risico hebben.

Bart Verwegen: Wordt verspreid door 'nauw fysiek contact', zoiets is niet meteen van toepassing met de persoon die naast jou zit op het vliegtuig.

freddy cardoen: Isoleerde zichzelf , en op het vliegtuig ? Je moet er maar naast zitten .

huib weij: Het feit dat de overheid zegt dat we ons geen zorgen moeten maken stelt mij dan weer niet gerust.......

>> Note that these were legal e-bikes when they were sold (even though they are often styled like motorcycles). I wonder what regulation/legislation California could create without running into the same issues.

Minister Madlener faces pushback over proposed e-bike regulations A new government-commissioned study has deemed a fatbike-specific ban for children "unworkable," as reported by AD. Minister of Infrastructure Barry Madlener (PVV) is now exploring broader regulations...

In the Netherlands, we have similar issues. E-bikes with pedal assist up to 15 mph are otherwise unregulated, but they are modified post-sale with a throttle and 30 mph capability. We have not found a solution that doesn't involve massive police resources.

YouTube video by Not Just Bikes These Two Cities Used to be the Same

Not Just Bikes discusses Utrecht, Netherlands versus London, Canada. Since 1990, Utrecht became more pro transit, bikes, pedestrians. The Canadian town kept catering for cars.
