A tale as old as time! Car brains don’t bat an eye when it’s $1 million, $10 million, or $100 million spent on “convenience” for motorists.

But don’t you dare spend a fraction of that for the safety and security of everyone else! /s

I wish our governments would have motorists pay the true cost of their multi-lane roads, “free” on-street parking spaces, parking garages and massive lots, or the cost to send first responders out to the tens of thousands of collisions we’ve normalized.

Maybe then they’d STFU about cost.

All communities pay dearly for car-centric infrastructure, and the maintenance costs required to keep it all running.

Those brake lights tell a different story. Still, what are we talking… a 1 or 2 km length of road for 150 cars to be passed by a single cyclist? Such an inefficient use of space.

Not a red, but funny enough, all those cars are blocking the intersection…

It’s rare to see the law work in the victim’s favour, so stealing back your own bike would probably land you in jail (in North America, at least).

“The more time our officers spend reviewing CCTV… the less time they have available for patrolling railway stations and trains, investigating crimes which cause the most harm.”

Interesting. Then they’ll stop investigating other vehicle theft, too, right?

Also, if you are going to “decriminalize” crimes like that, then at least “decriminalize” actions taken by people to prevent or recover their stolen property.

A few observations:

1. That’s a fuck-ton of distance for 150 cars.
2. “One more lane, bro” wouldn’t make a goddamn difference.
3. We really need bike lanes… on every road.

Twenty million anonymized transactions … led to a 9.5% increase in retail

I wish they put a number to that stat. Because even if we’re talking about an extra dollar of spending, we’re talking millions of dollars (euros), which is significant.

Retail stores everywhere should really force their local government to make street closures to car traffic a reality if they want to boost sales and keep online shopping from destroying their revenue.

as the politician voted against an amendment that would have forced the Justice Department to release the Epstein files.

When I see someone voting AGAINST releasing the Epstein files, I can only make the assumption that they are in it.

Seeing that we are talking about an already horrible person, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Cruz is trying to cover his ass.

At the 10 locations posted in the OP. Data is collected at the same time each year, and over a 48-hour period.

It’s very easy to do, and since the number of vehicles recorded is often in the thousands, the trends would be very easy to see.

the lawyer in question “asserted that he had not been aware that generative AI frequently fabricates or hallucinates legal sources"

I’m no lawyer, but wouldn’t the responsibility of due diligence rest… on the lawyer? “I didn’t know” is usually never a legal defence, for pretty much anything.

And these guys charge hundreds of dollars an hour. SMH.

Man, most road vehicles can easily be called “murder machines”, but Teslas are the first “suicide ride”!

Yes, and use a combination of various attachments for grooming, and even got a third-party nose hair trimmer attachment that works pretty damn well, too! LOL

I tend to have really sensitive skin, and the OneBlade helps a lot. Philips says that you can use it wet or dry, with foam or gel, but also say that the best results are when you use it dry.

Holy shit does that bring back memories! I probably still have my Braun Series 5 somewhere (and yeah, it’s probably at least 15 years old), but I haven’t used it in some time.

I’ve mostly been using Philips OneBlade, but true BIFL would be a safety razor.

The way AdGuard does it, is it has you install a certificate on your phone, which then allows you to block ads and trackers within HTTPS pipelines. If you don’t do that, then it can only block HTTP requests, which tends to be pretty low quality filtering. In addition, I also enable DNS blocking through AdGuard DNS service, so it’s kind of like blanket coverage.

I haven’t honestly found anything that does the same thing, or at least not at the same level of quality. So I’m always curious to see if something new has come out that can reach this level of filtering performance.

Can anyone tell me if this filters HTTPS requests?

That’s one feature that keeps me using Adguard, and it makes a huge difference to the filtering ability/quality.

There’s a clear pattern with violence in the States.

Quick, find a way to blame Obama, Biden, or immigrants! /s

Synology. Whatever is in your budget.

Yes, they’ve done things to piss off the community, and sure, a DIY build is going to give you more control and powerful hardware.

But you can get support (though Synology or the Internet communities of users), and if any family member ever needs to take it over, it’ll be easy for them to pick up and manage.

Very cool. Thanks for the recommendation.

tp link routers tend to run openwrt pretty well.

Of course, I have the TP-Link router that isn’t well-supported 😖

I kind of miss my old Linksys routers, which officially supported third-party firmware.

The only ones who would harm her over this would be other Republicans. I wish she would let that sink in, because she’s spent her career propping them up.
