laid back, very slow moving world of Academia.

What kind of Academia are you talking about? You publish or perish, write grants to get projects funded, deliver (questionable) results in unreasonable deadlines or you're out of a grant and therefore on the streets from one day to the next.

Then there's the usual practice that almost all jobs except for the professor's are temporary positions and if the project doesn't get funded, you don't get the desired results (see above) or you clash with someone in the administration that don't like you, you're out of a job when your contract is up for extension. And even if you do a good job, getting a new contract is never a given, therefore stringing temporary contracts together is horrible for your mental health.

When I finally switched from academia to industry because of all that bullshit my new colleagues had to remind me that I no longer have to adhere to these standards, have a permanent position and can relax without working unreasonable hours or unpaid overtime.

Axel Springer. Springer ist ein wissenschaftlicher Verlag, diese Aktion richtete sich gegen den Axel Springer Verlag, Herausgeber von u.A. der Bild. Im Text des Artikels ist es richtig dargestellt, in der Überschrift und Zusammenfassung falsch. Falls sich noch jemand wundert warum die LG gegen einen wissenschaftlichen Verlag protestieren sollte. Mit denen läuft auch ne Menge falsch, aber die sind wahrscheinlich nicht das übliche Ziel von Klimaaktivisten.

Nazis lehnen die Grundrechte Anderer ab, entsprechend sind sie nicht durch diese Grundrechte geschützt.

I would assume that people in a similar demographics are interested in similar topics. Adjusting the answer to a person within a demographic would therefore adjust it to all people within that demographic and interested in that specific topic.

Or maybe it's just the nature of the answer being more personal that makes it more appealing to people in general, no matter their background.

Der Titel im Artikel ist sehr allgemein und pauschal

Dann liess halt mehr als die Überschrift.

You live in an urban area right?

Yes, like about 80-85% of Norwegians inhabitants do. https://www.ssb.no/en/befolkning/folketall/statistikk/tettsteders-befolkning-og-areal.

Of course, if you live in the woods in the middle of nowhere a bike won't get you far in winter, but neither gets you a car until the snowplow has come through and dug you out. Skis are much more useful in these conditions.

I've lived in the North and commuted by bike except for days with extreme weather conditions. And again, you shouldn't be driving then either. Now that I'm a bit older I'd go for an electric bike though, I think.

cars needs far less winter path clearing than all but the best fat tire bikes

I drive a regular city bike, nothing fancy, just studded tires. I'm talking about Norway here, so studded tires are the norm in winter for almost any vehicle. I prefer biking especially in winter because of the amount of cars stuck on the roads. With the bike I'm flexible, I can drive around obstacles or impasses, worst case lift it over a ditch to make my way somewhere else. On an average day I'm at least twice as fast biking than I would be driving.
