Reply to comment by cquinn5 in Humans Started Riding Horses 5,000 Years Ago, New Evidence Suggests by geoxol
I think that may have more to do with how horses are used as domesticated animals. They're like dogs in that they need to understand commands and like dogs the survival of their human depends on the animal so the animals were likely bred to be social and able to take ques. Also a huge thing with horses is getting them to be less excitable and willing to do whatever the human tells them to do. Horses do NOT naturally ride into battle, but they can with the right training and condition.
Basically they're not like farm animals who exist to mostly do simple work or for food. Horses needed to understand complex commands so they were bred to be able to read humans extremely well. Way more so than say a cow or sheep.

This is about riding, the Egyptians used chariots.

Reply to comment by bebe_bird in Study reveals that although private automobiles continue to be the dominant travel mode in American cities, the share of car trips has slightly and steadily decreased since its peak in 2001.

The taxi already existed though, many of them being cars driven to 500,000 miles. With the proliferation and usage of rideshare and taxi the people who would be adding 1 to the total amount of cars on the road are now not, the rideshare/taxi driver, already bought in but can contribute to as many as 100 people no longer needing a personal vehicle. It's a net loss, not a net negation. At the macro level, more cars are being taken off the road by virtue of the driver who already bought in, being able to negate a need for other people to get vehicle to begin with.

I get a sense of accomplishment when I pass people on e-bikes, knowing full well that I'm working my ass off and they're kind of just casually pedaling along.

Reply to Interesting relationship between Chemoresistant Ovarian Cancer and Follistatin. Follistatin production increased chemoresistance by communicating with neighboring cells to promote quiescence. Could be a potential target for therapy in the most deadly gynecological cancer. by Rain_Dont_Pour
Does anybody know if this also includes immune therapy resistance? Is there any relationship between quiescence and resistance to other type of immunotherapy?

Makes sense. If my body is relying on my depressed brain to rally the troops for survival, well, good luck with that.

Not in most places with transit. You can look up the budgets of US transit organizations, small town transit you are correct, but for anything bigger fares are significant sources of money (10% being significant).

I’ve gone through a variety of middle-weight motorcycles for leisure since I started riding in 2019. I do a lot of travel for work, so I do still very much need a 4-wheeled vehicle for going 100-300 miles to the job site for a week, but I recently swapped the bike out for a 150cc scooter. Now I’m using that for running around town when I’m at home.
The balance is phenomenal, thr small wheels means is extremely maneuverable, the underseat storage and top case means I can do a grocery run, and it’s hard to beat 90 miles per gallon. Plus it’s just fun.
Only times I take the truck around the home town now is if I need to take passengers or lots of stuff.

I can't wait until we get into our pods that drive us wherever we want to go.

Depression can be an indicator of unknown physical ailments

Does your Uber or taxi driver pick up others when you are using them?

Yeah. Seriously like the Egyptians used them and they were a long ways back. According to this they must have only used them very late.

Agreed. I think the shock is that it has ONLY been 5000 years. We built cities, had agriculture, even basic plumbing, long before we have evidence for riding horses. I find it one of those fascinating steps on our journey as a species.

No offence intended but where tf did they find people with lung cancer that aren’t depressed?

Don't need to be a scientist to figure that one out.

From my observations, it was really only the worst drivers that were still driving into work.

Yeah but no way to tell if thats because of the desirability of public transit or the economy slowly falling apart

TLDR: scientists used to think Humans started riding horses 4000 years ago, based on art depictions. Then they found some skeletons with changes to suggest they rode horses.
