I think you might be right. But there are pbbly still some of those lighter pickups that can be driven by a B licence, which is unfortunate. I found the vehicle chart on Wikipedia quite helpful https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truck_classification

P.S. also crazy that so many US vehicles exceed that weight limit. Heavy and big cars are generally bad for everyone.

Thanks for replying, are you implying that they can not be driven with a standard B license? I could believe it but I thought that B encompassed quite a lot of vehicles/mass/sizes

Interesting, may I ask how you know?

Right and we also use lemmy, but we still weigh and judge what we read here or at least we should. And we should do the same for Wikipedia, even though I would argue that Wikipedia has higher epistemic standards than Lemmy. The point being, the openness of these platforms is a quality on its own. Wikipedia isn’t perfect, but it is far from terrible.

It’s true that it is not generally accepted for writing a paper or essay, but that does not mean that the information is completely unreliable. While I’m sure that Wikipedia is not perfect with regards to truth, it is more accessible, democratized and readable than many primary sources or peer reviewed articles. Those properties have a lot of value by themselves. Would you not agree?

Not necessarily. You could end up with the Korea scenario, or India Pakistan border with everlasting tension between the two.

I don’t agree with npdean, but isn’t that a bit of a stretch?

I feel so helpless and horrified. And amidst all of this life still goes on. It sometimes feels surreal to me.

You can literally feel empathy for both though?

What’s wrong with EEG?

This. Especially in the humanities, the essay is the preferred form of assessment. I don’t have a birds eye view of all colleges, but I know that some of those courses should not have had essay exams. It’s as if teachers forget that other forms of examination exist.
