Seeing that deploying airbags hit like a fist to the face and regularly break noses, maybe reframing airbags as airbombs would suffice as a deterrent.

Given that I don't have any personal gain from proliferating biking as a means of personal transportation, I'd rather consider myself a bike preacher.

A decent bike needn't be expensive. For as little as 300€, you can have a new bike that'll do just fine for recreational use and simple commutes. Used bikes can usually be had really cheap, too, but for that you'd best know how to check the components and what to look for.

Race bikes, mountain bikes and pedelecs are a different thing, but those are either specialty sports equipment or luxury items.

Either way, (normal) bikes are easy and cheap to maintain, if used correctly.

Loudly and visibly changing the rules doesn't "create offenders". Offenders aren't victims of changed rules.

It has been shown time and again that lowering speed limits in cities reduces traffic accidents and emissions at close to no costs to the flow of traffic.

My own city (in Germany, so it really was a heavily-criticized decision) lowered the speed limit on one of the major arterial roads to 30 kph. It is one I have to use regularly, and oh boy, let me tell you: I was soooo opposed to the change. Yet, it really only changed how fast you arrive at the next red light. There is literally no discernable change in how long it takes to pass that street, especially during rush hour. Traffic just got a little more fluid.

It is, however, the street with the most speeding tickets in town. I regularly see one or two mobile speed cameras along the way. And I've never been fined. You got to wonder...

Fastest speedrun was like not even 10 minutes.

And that was to beat him. Just reaching him and dying to him should go substantially faster:

• get levitation potions/scrolls
• grab Icarian Flight
• have some form of suped speed enhancement (cumulative potions, Boots of Blinding Speed etc.)
• carefully aim north of Ghost Gate and hop
• rush through Dagoth Ur (location) into Facility Chamber
• whack ol' Three Eyes and have him demolish you

Property acquisition in the US more expensive than in Europe? I think not, at least for the immense swaths of land that make up most of the US' land mass.

The legal fees I see, but that's why most developed nations have legislature for disowning property owners of land necessary for infrastructure at a set compensation. Whether that's fair or just is up for ideological debate, I'm sure.

The Commission transmitted a proposal to the European Parliament. The Parliament and the European Council have to discuss and pass the proposal for it to go into effect.

Is there an SCP for this?

It'd be more fitting to mandate every product to include its ecological price. Disposable vapes, for example, would disappear instantly.

Oooooh, that's a neat idea in light of the current EU legislation concerning the Right to Repair: Introduce a mandatory, highly visible, and standardized seal that all electronic devices have to display on the front of their box:

Repairable

or

Disposable

I hope Unity's legal team is prepared.

I really hope they're not, because this practice needs to crash and burn brightly as a warning beacon to other corpos' grubby fingers.
