I understand that trucks and SUVs are more dangerous to pedestrians due to increases in hood height and reduction in curvature (along with reduced visibility). Is this not correct?

As someone who already has a Deck, I’m more keen on this. The Index was very expensive and only had a limited run. Mind you, the Index is expensive in general and I hope they aim for Quest level prices this time around.

I’m not holding my breath but hopefully it increases youth turnout of women. Which is a group that is much more progressive than young men, but both have poor turnout compared to older people.

This is regarding the NZ government’s plan to introduce higher speed limits. Unsurprisingly, the conservative party is in power at the moment.

paperless-ngx, after having to turn my apartment upside down to find some paper documents.

I’m honestly not sure how I feel about that reasoning.

It’s the drug dealers’ defense. Which has also been used for justifying the continued export of coal.

The NoDerivatives part is concerning. Is he trying to prevent forks?

Unsurprisingly, a former candidate for the Liberal (conservative) party: https://web.archive.org/web/20220518064350/https://cityofsydneyliberals.webflow.io/candidate/sam-danieli

Perhaps he was too crazy even for them.

and a French study which found that scalp hair tends to whorl in a clockwise direction, though less so in the southern hemisphere.

We better get the preeminent scientist, Bart Simpson, to actually confirm this.

Online scam artists tend to do it, along with random emphasis. It just makes the person using it seem illiterate to me, but we’re not the target market.

Think dick pills, pick up artists, conspiracy theorists, and so on.

I’d be happy with 2010 era desktop Linux level of support. It doesn’t need to get everybody to switch, just needs to be good enough for my needs.

I only learned to touch type properly because I was bored one summer and went cold turkey and learned Colemak. Before that, I had this weird pseudo touch typing technique with some keys being touch typed and others not, and because of the muscle memory, it was difficult to change.

An e-bike might be a better option if you have many hills and are carrying a lot of weight, if not a proper e-cargo bike. But for the former you need to be careful about how adaptable it is to racks and fenders etc, since some are not great.

if you aren’t American you can agitate and tell people “don’t vote, voting for the lesser evil means you end up with slightly less evil and that’s bad, instead you should not vote or ignore mathematics existing and vote third party which is a fancy way of not voting” and then suffer no consequences.

The entire planet suffers the consequences when Trump undoes all climate action and destabilises the world.

A major improvement already happened in 5.2+ but few devices support it yet (LE Audio with LC3 codec).

LDAC is a very inefficient codec, and isn’t lossless even at its highest bitrate. But they are all close to perceptually lossless even at relatively low bitrates so it’s a much of muchness.

You can also connect rural towns by cycling routes. Some parts of Australia are doing this by adding cycling tracks to long-abandoned rail links (would be nice if some of these were used as rail again but that’s another story). Yes, not everyone is going to be willing and able to use these but it’s great for tourism, and even getting a small amount of people out of their cars now and then is a win.

Just add more buses in that case. This is the good kind of induced demand.

Even then, in a well designed city, there are enough viable alternatives when buses get too crowded (walking, cycling, trains, even a slightly different bus route).

A couple of things:

• Biden was still the candidate, and a lot of young people were angry with him at the time
• Younger people are less likely to identify or register with any party (but will still likely vote in one particular direction). So focusing on the results by party identification isn’t that useful.

And is still an active lawyer, so Vance is attacking his wife as well “who should go back to the kitchen” to paraphrase his own wording.
