Along the same lines are all the parks in my city that cut down large trees to plant small ornamental trees. Oh, want a bench? Nowhere near the trees. Yeah, I’m talking about you, Shoreline park! WTheck

I just got a cheap minipc to tinker with and it had windows 11. Not bad and unexpected.

First thing I did was wipe and install Ubuntu of course because that’s what I wanted.

If it takes a whole 60 seconds for this glorified camera-carwash contraption to scan a vehicle and generate a report, they are charging $11,400/hour.

Hertz, I will personally sit on a roller stool with a camera and make beep boop sounds for that dough. Take my resume.

That’s great for food workers, but there are many, many more jobs just as dismal. I personally know workers who are scheduled randomly between 0 and 5 days a week. Hell, there was a month this year with 4 5-hour shifts. What complete BS.

There is no financial security whatsoever. But that’s sort of the point. Keeps labor costs down and if they quit, no unemployment.

While I do think CoveredCA needs a healthy (pun intended) fine, tech companies need need a serious grilling for taking this info. Not just the cost of business crap that’s handed out for getting caught.

More importantly, WE need resources to notify, find and curate or revoke data about us! Start putting that in settlement clauses; I don’t care about my $3.20 gift card left over and split from a class action win.

Me too. I’m up to 3TB locally. Had to do that slowly though. Hit some temp bans a few times.

Absolutely no good will come of this psyops group targeting Americans.

This isn’t a genie that can return to a bottle. This is everything Snowden warned the world about, supercharged and networked and only available to the administration currently in charge.

Yes and no. A 14.9db increase of 85db background noise is big, while a 14.9db increase of 40db background noise certainly is not.

Decibels is logarithmic and there is little information in this study about environmental ambiance.

One graph starts at 40db, which indicates data was collected at roughly the noise level of a refrigerator. A casual conversation would roughly qualify as “noise.”

My city spends $150 million annually on this stuff.

I also prefer 100% natural ground insects in my food over artificial dyes.

(Just teasing for funsies)

If I understand this study correctly, this is an increase of 11-14 bike commuters per mile of bike lane with a population density of 2,750 a square mile.

My city has 400 miles of bike lanes, therefore we should see an uptick in 5,600 riders?

I’m not sure how this study anticipates other factors limiting utilization such as economic status, weather, or city population size/density but it stands to reason that while a few more bike commuters can be coaxed out of hiding, there are very likely diminishing returns for investment costs and with 2 data points, the projected trajectory is not as linear as the study implies.

Since downloading copyright material is legal for training apparently, I’d be glad to help train a privacy respecting distributed LLM. 😉

/s of course. But you have a very interesting idea!

That happens here too. I walked from 3rd grade until graduating High School. Rain or shine.

I remember getting a spiffy red bike in middle school because the new school was miles away. It was sweet. Except I kept forgetting/losing the combination to my lock. I felt a little grown up when I got a lock with a key. Ha!

As for the article, that’s horrible. Part of driving is being alert and responsible for the unexpected. Arresting the parents is straight up fucked.

We used FM transmitters for those guys back in the day. Plug it in the headphone port and tune the stations.

Yeah. I’ve had some friction in this community too but damn, FTS.

Cyclists aren’t mentioned or involved whatsoever in this article.

A bus appears to have rear ended 2 vehicles, pushing at least one onto a sidewalk. Minor injuries, full recoveries expected.

Could look up the menu. At least it would narrow down options.

Did I read that right? The city just dropped $4,250 each on, what looks similar to Amazon results, $300 - $500 e-bikes?

Pasadena diverted paving/maintenance funds to vision zero’s agenda 7 years ago. No duh they are running into budget issues now.

The elected officials could, IDK, pass a new budget and stop complaining?
