Every month is a record month!
Every month is a record month!
I don’t know how to explain this to you this without resorting to crayons but let me try to put it succinctly:
Low dB are still dangerous to health if they are constant and over a long period of time.
You don’t have to reply, I know you disagree.
You are correct and the thousands of scientists who have come to this same conclusion are wrong, totally bro
As a current employee of the municipal road maintenance and service depot, I’d like to think we have more relevant data than a sound engineer on the harm caused by road noise.

Tinnitus is affected by constant exposure, not just dB. Cars make noise and a constant low droning sound gives you tinnitus as well.
I, too, have videos of bicycles behaving poorly. Again, cognitive dissonance; we are not discussing bicycles.
I love the act of driving and the skills I’ve developed over my lifetime. It’s freeing, relaxing, and I find a meditative quality and peace when I drive in the mountains.
I like walking in nature but in my country you can’t escape the sound of distant cars. I’m sure it’s not you, you’re definitely the exception and a model citizen, but your hobby is giving me tinnitus and is infringing upon mine. It’s not a culture war, it’s just shit that’s bad for us all vs shit that’s not bad for us all and you really like doing the shit that’s bad for us all so you have this strange cognitive dissonance about it where you can totally admit it’s bad but refuse to stop doing it.
You want to discourage people from buying cars? Then don’t buy one. Be the example you seek.
I’ve never owned a car in my life and I don’t have a license but this hasn’t stopped any of these people from being average car owners…
What kind of setup is this? A phone through a monocular?
it looks like it bent the bollards over,
So they weren’t bollards, they were decoration.
9 dead people don’t speak for themselves in your mind, I guess. Why are you on this community?
I’d love to go through it with you, step by step, using crayons and simple wording if I must, but alas! Not one of the 19 articles I looked at provided an exact location or pictures clear enough to figure that out.
My logic here is very simple: If a car can hit pedestrians, then the infrastructure is bad. 9 people died to prove this point and you’re acting as if this is a freak accident that happens once in a decade. It doesn’t, people die all the time because of inattentive drivers or faulty vehicles. Bollards save lives.
Seoul has some of the best public transport in the world and the vehicle was a sedan.
Tell that to the 9 dead
Many people are going to blame the car driver and not the systemic problems that allowed a car to do this in the first place
They’ll make a bigger car to drive over it
Do you? Have you read any history books? Do you know how your rights were attained?
Okay, but we do also have to break things because the legal channels aren’t good enough. If they were sufficient, we wouldn’t be here, now.
Putting in political work, petitions, speaking to and informing people, writing the politicians (at best paper mail, its taken more seriously) going into a party and making change from inside, protesting normally as in on the streets and not being disruptive to the public.
The things that have done absolutely nothing for the last 4 decades? Yeah lets keep doing it, maybe this decade guys
Systemic change will also require that people change their lifestyle, it just won’t be as voluntary
I’ve been waiting since the initial announcement. It’s gonna be so good!
Subsonic is also a protocol (and opensubsonic) which supports many other clients, if you want. Personally my music collection is just hosted on gonic, a server-only subsonic implementation and I stream it to whatever clients I want.
