  • A ghost community doesn’t really affect anyone.

    But if people do want bustling communities they just need to give them broader appeal and only splinter into niches when the demand arises.

    For example rather than creating a community for a specific British 1960s sci-fi TV show. An existing retro TV community is probably sufficient, or failing that a general TV community.




  • Motorcycle:

    16 to 18 fatal motorcycle accidents per million hours ridden

    Personal flights:

    21.1 fatal accidents per million flight hours

    I’m really surprised at that.

    Thinking about it though most bikers I know are young, have good reflexes and are mostly using a motorbike for commuting or travelling which is probably lower risk than the cliche teenage fool on a superbike my mind jumped to.

    By contrast, the vast majority of light aircraft pilots I know are 60+, many 70+ with extensive health issues, heart problems and likely comparatively poor reflexes.

    corporate aviation – the world of bizjets – is relatively safe. This sector only saw 0.48 fatal accidents per million flight hours from 2012 to 2021

    General aviation overall:

    9.5 fatal crashes per million flight hours
