Does the tree kill a cyclist who had a green signal?

Traffic laws are also there so you don’t kill someone with the multi tonne steel missile you are operating with such nonchalance.

You have to have a low bar as to who is allowed to drive when driving is a requirement for participating in society.

Not everyone should be forced to drive.

On your gf’s system, is hardware acceleration configured correctly?

Did your paper include the ground speed check story?

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. … A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. … But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

• walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes to warmup
• look at your phone while sitting in the toilet for 10 minutes
• walk around looking at weights/machines for as long as you can until someone notices
• pick an exercise with all the machines taken, stand around looking at phone until one frees up
• 1x8 with no weight to warmup
• 3x5 with a random amount of weight, 300 second rest
• look at the time, if you have been there longer than 45 minutes, round up to one hour
• drive through Wendy’s for a large baconator combo on the way home. Diet coke though, we’re trying to be healthy

Should the role of government be to say:

Sorry, corporations, you’re going to have to pay your fair share of taxes so our citizens aren’t dying in the streets

Or

Sorry, peasents, you’re going to have to die in the streets so that corporations can continue to make record profits

I tend to think it should be the former. As a Canadian, we have a federal election coming up and it sucks that there is no (relevant) political party that shares my opinion.

You copy some text from a webpage and put it in your markdown/LaTeX document in your text editor, like vim. Then you use pandoc/pdf-latex to export in whatever file format you need. It never looks wonky, it looks exactly like you tell it to.

Is this something I’m too markdown/LaTeX pilled to understand?

The most recent Intel Core 2 Duo was discontinued in 2008. I doubt Intel would be able to convince anyone that this is a competing product or would cause any customer confusion. No one is going to be looking for a low end processor from over a decade ago and accidentally buy a watch.

Does it use just standard watch bands? It looks like it, but I didn’t see it mentioned.

One of the things I find ridiculous about other smart watches is that they use proprietary bands. When I found out that people are paying $60+ for a silicon band for an Apple watch, it blew my mind. Also that people put screen protectors or cases on their Apple watches because their $500+ watch doesn’t even have a crystal lens, and is prone to scratching.

Debugging requires hard liquor.

Nice straw man, my guy. Clearly I’m not telling people to live somewhere they cannot afford. Some places where it is possible to live car free/car light are super expensive. The reason for that is those are the places with the highest demand, because lots of people realize that is the best way to live.

I’m not saying “just move”, I’m saying be a YIMBY. Be the person that writes your city councilor or goes to town hall meetings and says “Yes, please build more transit”, or “Yes, please build more bike lanes”, or “Yes, please build higher density housing”. The more places where it is possible to live car free/car light, the more the demand will be eased and it will become more affordable.

Also, it may already be more affordable than you think, if you consider your housing and transportation as a single item in your budget. The average car owner spends over $1000 per month to own and operate a car. So even if you move to somewhere the rent is 50% higher, you may still come out ahead by giving up your car.

Unless you live in Phoenix, your city was not build around cars. Your city was built around train stations and street cars. Sections of it were bulldozed in the last couple of decades to make room for more cars.

I’ve never had to shell out thousands of dollars to repair a train/bus/bicycle/shoes.

Motornormativity is a driving factor (pun intended) of the cost of living affordability crisis and class inequality.

I played so much MK64 that I know can’t beat literally anyone, but have found I can beat everyone that makes statements like this. I know how many people I can’t beat, and they make up the top thousand or so positions of this list.

I would say that I am not good, but better than the average player at this game. It is the only game I say this about.

Strubb’s pickles. They are supposed to be back under a new owner, but I still can’t find them in any local grocery store.
