That’s just a shitty road design

aeharding, 8 days ago (edited 8 days ago)

45 mph multilane traffic, with unsignalized intersection of cross traffic? No, it’s a shitty design. Just because it’s normal where you live, doesn’t mean it’s a good design.

How to fix? Just a few examples…

• Signalize intersection
• Slow down thru traffic
• Roundabout
• Reduce thru lanes, increase turn lane offset
• Prevent left turns from side street

And what, are you going to restrict cars off the side street to turning right and then making a u-turn?

Yes. If there is not enough traffic for a better treatment, and the intersection cannot be made safer intersection, then left turns should be prohibited.

This is just a common as dirt configuration, especially in rural areas. I don’t find it remarkable at all.

Multilane thru traffic with turn lanes is not a typical rural configuration, at all.

but in my Voyager Android app, it does a strikethru

You must be using a really old version of voyager. This was fixed a while back

Can you check the version in “Settings -> About”? Some users have reported issues with F-droid auto update. F-droid should be up to 2.9.1.

Guillotine would transport well by bike, like a canoe or kayak…

1. Secure the blade
2. add wheels to heavier end
3. add bike attachment to the other

In fact, you could even make the wheels reusable for a nice kayak trip after using the guillotine! Win win!

No, that was a bugfix. There was one or two places where the upvote color was using theme color instead of upvote color.

But if you liked that it is possible in the future to add a theme dependent upvote color setting. That would work better than before too because it would be the theme color everywhere instead of just a couple places that was accidental.

Video support in comments is currently limited to short reaction GIFs - e.g. no scrubbing/unmuting. As a workaround I recommend linking to videos instead of embedding. In the future this will likely get better :)

Maybe not beautiful, but heartwarming- fosstodon.org/

Yes, that’s possible in the next version of Lemmy.

But it will probably be some buried option to enable (unless you’re a mod). up up down down left right left right b a start. I don’t want people to unintentionally view abusive comments (would risk store listing).

There should be a scroll bar if there are enough options to overflow

When viewing all/home/local feeds, you’ll see the community name at the top of the post instead of at the bottom. It’ll also have its own separate line (more space for instance name) and gives more space for author name/instance if you have that setting also turned on.

aeharding, 3 days ago

Thanks, agreed I’m surprised I find myself preferring it!

It also provides more space for user/community instance, if that’s important to you…

Not to your own personal choice, but there absolutely is downside to stigma and helmet mandates. Studies show they reduce cycling numbers which means people drive instead, which increases death and injury, because spoiler, cars are dangerous.

Good article with references:

And more on other issues too with helmet mandates, like how police enforce… theguardian.com/…/us-helmet-laws-police-citations…

I never understood the obsession with homeownership.

I’ve owned. It kinda sucked. The things most people think of as “pros” (like being able to renovate) were not that great for me. I’d spend a lot of time thinking about things I could change/improve, and then doing them.

My brain operates differently renting. I don’t really care about things like that since its not an option in the first place. It saves me time/money/stress and I spend more time living my life instead of maintaining a property.

Of course there are drawbacks with renting, specifically shitty landlords, but to me there are more pros than cons.

I’m currently renting a home for space for gardening. Tomato seedlings went out last weekend :)

So there’s that, and there’s retirement. Having set expenses (aside from taxes) is super important and you’ll never have that with renting when you’re retired.

I don’t consider my home a retirement vehicle. I save separately for that. But I do understand that for some people, it is, and that’s understandable.

If I was an homeowning instead of renting, I would have bought a much better refrigerator at trice the cost. But I won’t pay that much for an appliance I’m not going to own, and my landlord won’t pay it for one he wouldn’t use, so I’m stuck with a cheap and noisy refrigerator.

Right, I’ve been on both sides of your example. I’ve both bought a refrigerator while owning a home (and picked a more expensive model), and I’ve also had a fridge replaced by a landlord with a cheap model.

Again, for me the renting side of this is a “pro”. I will second guess not splurging if I know it is an option while owning. If I rent, I just don’t care because its not an option in the first place, and I love that.

Matches post titles only. Full words. For example “X” added as filter will only match posts with title containing the word “X” (but won’t match “Extend” for example)
