To my knowledge this is with 10min connection mid way. This is a big risk to be stuck in the middle waiting for the next train so the big new here is the direct part, making it way more reliable.

While i dont necessarily agree with you, it is not my point. I am not saying we should limit the speed according to local speed limit, just that there is no reason ever for an individual car to go above 150kmh (or whatever the highest allowed speed in a country+15% is)

Speed limits are set according to a number of factor from noise, local crash history, density of pedestrians, threshold of the safety equipments (such as rails) , willingness of the governing body to review it, etc While some are not good, I would definetly argue that not all the reasons can be assessed from the driver perspective.

I really think you are missing the point here. You say overspeeding may save you, which i think is a very theorical and not frequent occurence but ok, for the sake of argument let's allow 20kmh above the maximum speed limit, in my country that would be 150kmh, enough to get out of dangerous situation, still way bellow what modern car can do. And you really dont want to go above this kind of speed in urban environments if you're not a trained professional. Speed limit exist for a reason which extends beyond "when you agree with them" raming in another car and transforming a 1 people emergency into a multiple people one is not a risk we should consider acceptable.

It is not in this case at least. The method relies on using a device (usually a ring) to push the testicles hiver in your body, and the temperature there is enough to stop spermatogenesis. The current method involves stopping every 3 years for at l'East 6 months to ensure production returns to normal. There is no documented side effect, though it should be noted that as always in this area, fully documented medical trial are pending. You my ne referring to other methods using higher temps or external device such as heating boxer but i have not experienced not researched those so i cannot answer you.

Yes I'm using it. It works as expected

Yeah my bad for puting both in the same bag i totally agree. I meant to say that thermal contraception is a good alternative to birth control that men can use, just as vasectomy is a viable alternative to tubal litigation. And both are easier and with less side effect than the woman counterpart.

Not saying the pill won't eventually appear but the track record for men contraception hitting the market is not good. It always get cancelled in an endless loop of disapointment.

People serious about sharing the load or protecting women from the aide effect of birth control should look up vasectomy or thermal contraception. It works.

I've been on thermal contraception for 6months myself and my sperm production bas completely stoped with no side effects. Highly recommend.

The short story is the first part of the first book, also called wool, so you can do both at the same time !
