What are your recommendations for barefoot basketball shoes of any at all. There are two schools of thought that I've seen. One says, that basketball is a very intensive sport and barefoot shoes dont give enough cushion supprt for all the jumping and quick movement. The other side says, that any movement you make _is_ a natural movement and playing with cushioned shoes transfers all the impacts to your joints that cause damage over time. The narrow toe box of bb shoes also doesn't help, I've been wearing barefoot shoes for around 6 months and I can't find a basketball shoe that is wide enogh without it being too long for my foot. I usually wear EU 42-43 but now bb shoes around 45 are roughly wide enough but extremly too long for me. Does anybody have any recomendations for barefoot bb shoes or just bb shoes with a wide toe box?

What about making a ball out of rope? You can get hemp rope or even make it yourself if you've got a lot of time to spare. You can have a rubber core so it's squishy and a rope shell to protect it, if she wants a squishy ball. Or make it completely out of rope so it's more durable but then it depends if she would like it.

He also says somewhere in the comments that apple simply wouldn't allow this app on the app store. But there's also the option of sideloading, I think that's free no?

He says in the video on yt that you can fork it and modify it however you want for personal use no problem. You just can't make money distributing it I think.

How come they haven't come up with something like a reverse exo-skeleton where the joints resist your movement and simulate gravity. I guess your organs are still free floating but it's better than nothing.
Another idea would be to wear a magnetic full body suit of some kind and have the floor pull you down. I guess that would use a LOT of energy.

New nuclear reactors are fully or nearly fully automated I think. If humans disapeared overnight, they can fully shut down by themselves. Also newer reactors are made so that you need to actively monitor the reaction to even keep it going unlike old reactors (that are not in use anymore I think) that had you monitoring it to prevent it blowing up.

I always find it a bit inefficent to build humanoid robots to replace humans at a task. They're very complex and slow. Why not spend the money and rethink the task ie. warehousing already has been automated as well as a lot of things in manufacturing.
Don't get me wrong this is very cool to see but I can't think of many use cases for this.

Never open ports to the internet unless you want everybody to see it. Always use VPN to access your selfhosted stuff. If you've got a lot of VPN connections to set up, try generating a QR code for the connection. Makes it a bit faster to setup the client.

Don't take this as a fact but I think buying a not so old but not recent diesel might be the best choice. I have an old VW Golf 6 from 2010. All it requires is yearly service and thats it. It does around 5l/100km depending on where you're driving and how.
Somebody needs to do the math but I think buying a used one makes the least amount of environmental impact vs a new one even if you take into account the worse efficency of older cars.
As for gas vs diesel vs electric, you gotta do the math yourself, I'm to lazy :)

We have similar problems with foreigners all the time, when they decide to climb mountains with flip flops and sandals, without much preparation and then they have to be rescues with helicopters.

Reduce 27 lanes to 4 lanes with bus priority lanes and put people on a bus. Thats 27 cars with 5 people in roughly 2 buses with ~50 people.
