  • Traffic Jam

    Jump

  • There are modern roundabouts and then there are rotary intersections. Modern roundabouts have traffic entering the circle yield to traffic already within it, while rotary intersections have traffic within the circle yield to traffic entering. That makes rotaries, but not modern roundabouts, susceptible to locking up like this.

  • Top Republican says the Epstein files release is Democrats’ ‘entire game plan’ to bring down Trump

  • My theory is that he's a neoliberal corporatist traitor who decided to sabotage the party because the socialists and progressives did too well in the election. Can't have success associated with a leftward shift, ever, at all costs -- even capitulating to fascist pedos for zero gain.

  • iRobot’s revenue has tanked and it’s almost out of cash | "Roomba customers are understandably concerned about the impact these current financial troubles might have on their home cleaning robots."

  • The exceptions are things like my phone because it's a necessary device these days and there aren't a lot of options for something not locked down to all hell.

    Graphene is good enough, IMO.

    The real problem is that getting to 99% is damn near a full-time job and the capitalist cartel actively punishes it (by only offering owner control in 'commercial-grade' products at huge markup, or not manufacturing such things at all and forcing you to DIY).

    It's unreasonable to expect any but the most dedicated (read: stubborn) people like us to be able to handle it; the only viable solution for the masses is to wrestle back control of the government and end regulatory capture of the FTC etc.

  • Didn't they already try that? I figured that's why Amazon wanted to buy them.

    Jump

  • That's maybe one of the three factors I mentioned, and even then cyclist-cyclist collisions are much less common or severe than automobile-automobile ones. There's a reason even the busiest bike path intersections don't have fancy safety devices like traffic lights, after all: they don't need them.

  • What is too high for a pending authorization charge for a gasoline purchase?

    Jump

  • Gas station or truck stop? If the latter, it isn't that shocking that they might lazily use the same authorization charge amount for cars as they do for 18-wheelers.

  • Peter Thiel sells off all Nvidia stock, stirring bubble fears

  • Except we won't be able to afford them anyway because of loss of income.

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump policies are 'not America first' in fight over MAGA

    Jump

  • Republican "America first" is fascist doublethink.

    I'm going to be pissed if circumstances somehow conspire to force me to tactically vote for her at some point in the future.

  • I'm convinced that something unique about being enclosed in a car makes it worse. The depersonalization of interacting with other objects instead of other people since you can't really see the drivers inside all that well. The defensiveness that comes with the fact that a car is not only one of the most expensive things but also that the interior feels like an extension of your private space even though you're in public. The feeling of power that comes from operating dangerous heavy machinery, and worry that others are doing so too but getting it wrong and endangering you, etc.

  • New Orleans ballot for clerk of criminal court runoff election today. Large boxes are city propositions. Tiny box in the top left corner is for the actual runoff...🔎

    Jump

  • The real !mildlyinfuriating part is the implication that the propositions are less important than the election of people.

  • Most, if not all car companies collect and profile your data, how can I improve my privacy when buying a modern car?

    Jump

  • There are no electric cars that don't track you except for the really old NiMH Rangers and Rav4s and whatnot that they leased to fleets in California back in the day. Even the very first mass-market Nissan Leaf had unacceptable telemetry from day 1.

  • You're fucked. Best you can do is ride a bike when possible, and keep driving old cars from the mid-2000s or earlier when necessary.

  • To be fair, that's the intended lesson of regular monopoly as well.

  • The hysteria over Biden's pardons seems extra ridiculous now

  • When justice fails, all that remains is vigilantism. These corrupt pieces of shit have to be stopped, one way or another.
