  • Los Angeles Says It Will Not Join Newsom’s Push to Clear Encampments

  • We can design a system that offers people dignity and care without rampant abuse. Some combination of public transparency, civil rights group monitoring and criminal penalties for failures in the administration.

    The horrible treatment of people you're describing is not inherent to asylums. It is a risk that we need to be conscious of and design systems and safeguards to prevent.

  • Most homeless people are down on their luck and really need support. Affordable housing, job training and placement programs, food, and medical care can really help these people. I don't have any problem with this majority of the homeless population.

    A small percentage of homeless are insane, whether due to mental health problems/drugs/some combination. These are the people causing problems. They cannot be left to destroy themselves and society around them. We need mandatory care for these people for them to live with dignity. It is not compassionate to throw them on the streets and ignore them. We need asylums for this subset, like we had until Reagan closed them all.

  • Right of access to public spaces doesn't mean shitting on the street, smoking crack, starting fires, or stealing dozens of bikes and packages from neighbors.

  • No, it's an overwhelming problem. Encampments are huge, unsafe, and monopolize use of public spaces.

    Safe bike routing software

    Jump

  • This option weirdly does the opposite. The normal routes will put me on a trail that dumps you out onto basically a highway for the last mile.

    With this option, it prefers safe roads the whole journey over a bike trail+death trap option.

  • Sounds like it might vary. I don't have dirt roads near me, so it selects safe roads with slower traffic instead. Hopefully they can add a proper "prefer safer roads" option, but this works for me in the meantime.

  • Then they make you use them for DNS. May or may not be a big deal, but the reason it's at cost is to act as a loss leader to get you exposed to and buying their other products.

  • Elon Says He's Giving Trump PAC $45 Million… Per Month: Report

    Jump

  • "When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it's electric cars that don't drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he'd be worthless, and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, 'drop to your knees and beg,' and he would have done it." -- Donald Trump

    Vote! And make Elon worthless.

    What tv to look for nowadays?

    Jump

  • Warning, do NOT connect Vizio to the internet. They were busted for sending images of all content you watched to their servers, so they could profile you and sell that data. Who knows what else they'll get up to in a secret update down the road.
