  • Ambulance hits cyclist, rushes him to hospital, then sticks him with $1,800 bill

  • The article doesn't state much, but you're willing to make a lot of assertions about the situation anyway. In your last comment you said there was no way the cyclist wasn't at least partially at fault. I replied with a possible scenario where the cyclist was not at fault. The bicycle doesn't have to stop at the intersection if there's no stop sign. I don't see one in the pictures in the article. If the ambulance didn't see or otherwise ignored the cyclist, a right hand turn directly into the cyclist is a very real possibility. That happens far too often.

    All I'm saying is that there is not enough information in the article to ascertain what actually happened, and yet you're very eager to blame the cyclist. You have a clear bias, and your conclusion, while possible, is not the only one that can be drawn from the limited information in the article.

  • That means that at best the biker was partially at fault.

    I disagree. I think a likely scenario is that the cyclist was riding close to the right curb, and was being passed by the ambulance that then makes a sudden right turn, turning into the cyclist, as the article states. How would that be any fault of the cyclist?

  • You're asserting your view based on an ambiguity. The picture and story could easily depict the ambulance overtaking and turning into the cyclist. You seem dead set on making this the cyclist's fault when that assertion is just not supported by the facts given in the article.

  • You mean the part of the article where it says the ambulance "turned into him"?

    You're making assumptions based on vague wording in the article and your preconceived notions of cyclist behavior. You don't actually know what happened.

  • Does this actually work? I just tried it on a story on The Atlantic website and I just got a print page that looks exactly like the locked paywall page (i.e. not the whole article).

    I use the web archives extension for firefox to easily get the archive.is version of pages. Unfortunately, doesn't work when I'm using a vpn, but otherwise works like a charm.

    EDIT: I found this comment on the previous thread:

    https://lemmy.world/comment/13080227

    "The idea is you quickly press print before the paywall loads, so you can read the full article"

    That may work in some cases, but not all. Because not all paywall pages behave in a way where this is functional. The Atlantic is an example, it produces a partial page if you're not past the paywall, so ctrl-p doesn't work. The web archives extension still works though (I use it to easily access archive.is) and the extension is available on mobile firefox as well.

    I have also used 12 foot ladder in the past, and it works well. In fact, testing it now, it seems to even work when I'm using Proton VPN. archive.is does not work for me through the vpn, so I may switch back to 12ft.io. 12ft.io just has you append the paywalled url to their url, so it should be easy enough to make a bookmarklet.

  • I remember years ago some blogger would eat lots of weird things and review them and he had an article where he tried different dog treats. He said something along the lines of "I now know why dogs lick their own asses. It's to get the taste of Beggin' Strips out of their mouths."

  • Keep a stock message on your phone to cut and paste whenever an iPhone user sends you a potato-quality video. This is mine:

    Please don't send video to me via iMessage from your iPhone. In fact, you really shouldn't send video via iMessage at all. Video sent by Apple looks terrible on non-iOS phones. This is not a shortcoming of other phones, this is entirely Apple's fault and is their explicit intention. If you want to send a video from your iPhone, you can open the Photos app, tap the share button, and select "share as an iCloud link". That will enable All users to view your glorious video of your cat/kids/dinner/vacation/rant/whatever in the high resolution that your overpriced phone is capable of. Another option is to send the video using a messaging app such as Signal or WhatsApp. Alternate messaging apps are what most of the world use in lieu of sms/mms text messaging.

    This is a form letter response and you will get it every time you send me video from your iPhone via iMessage.

    P.S. I love you

  • except Sci-hub hasn’t been adding new papers since 2020. Anna’s Archive is a better bet, because they aggregate both sci-hub and libgen, among others. They also make torrents available for data hoarders. Their torrents total over 600 TB at this point, but include books in addition to articles.
