eksb, to formula1 in [autosport.com] F1 ready to consider different engines from 2030 in push for more noise
@eksb@programming.dev avatar

The noise is the worst part of race cars. Why do people want more of it?

Hearing damage is cumulative and permanent.

To be clear, it is four times that pedestrians have to cross, not four times that drivers are encouraged to not slow down. Drivers are not explicitly encouraged to not slow down, but the point of the diverging diamond is to make drivers not have to slow down.

This is expensive to address because you have to separate cyclists out to the right before the right car lane splits for right turns before the crossover. And then you have to build a bridge or tunnel for cyclists and pedestrians. On each side.

Really, any road busy enough to justify a diverging diamond probably already needed separated bike lanes. But in America (motto: “If you aren’t in a car, you don’t matter”), there almost certainly was not any cycling infrastructure there before.

There is one of these near me. Their solution for pedestrians is to make them cross the high speed outer lanes four times (where drivers are encouraged to not slow down). Their solution for cyclists is take the lane and pray or get off and do what the pedestrians have to do.

Edited for clarity: pedestrians cross four times, not drivers are encouraged to not slow down four times.

Diverging diamonds are great if your only consideration is car throughput.

If you are considering people walking or riding bicycles, they are shit.

eksb, to atheism in Wisconsin official blames homelessness on "sin," then votes against aid for the poor
@eksb@programming.dev avatar

Sin is the root cause of homelessness, but it isn’t the sin of the homeless, it is the sin of those who withhold housing.

Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel. I have no idea why I used to hate it so viscerally. I have no idea why I now like it.

eksb, to technology in Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads
@eksb@programming.dev avatar

Get an A/V receiver, a computer monitor or dumb TV, and speakers. Then you can get a Roku streaming player and it cannot show you anything when you do not have its input selected on the receiver.

Even an inexpensive pair of bookshelf speakers placed on either side of the TV will sound better than built-in TV speakers. Add a center speaker and a subwoofer drastically improved sound.

Non-4k AV receivers are dirt cheap used.

eksb, to asklemmy in What's the best sandwich in the world?
@eksb@programming.dev avatar

The PB&Js your mom made and cut into quarters diagonally and brought out to you and your friends playing in the backyard when you were six. The ones with the toothpicks in them, indicating they have crunchy PB. Best after sitting for ten minutes so the jelly starts to leak into the bread a little bit. With a glass of milk.

eksb, to asklemmy in best streaming device to pair with a pc monitor and speakers?
@eksb@programming.dev avatar

First, does your monitor have an audio output? Some do, and it will output the audio from the HDMI/DisplayPort input.

If not, you could get an HDMI audio extractor (like this one) to split the audio out of the HDMI signal. Then you can get any streaming device that has an HDMI out.

If your speakers are not powered and you are not married to your amplifier, you could buy an A/V receiver.

Wealthy people are mad that the government is not spending money on protecting their luxuries from the consequences of their own actions.
