my trick for creamy is to have two matching stick blenders, and when the first one gets almost too hot to hold, switch to the other motor head and go again. I don't think you could get one that would run 2x as long but would be interested to see it.

you should be embarrassed to drive this vehicle to the grade school to pick up your kid

@freeformz his greatest achievement as mayor was inspiring a charter review commission to design a system to get the mayor out of the way.

@scott plurality voting and the two-party system breaks people's brains. TFG shoulda been a footnote instead of a president.

I'm at this amazing green space /walking path /bike path. Volleyball court etc. I can bike or walk here. People drive. I used to do that. We should have amazing, safe green space within walking distance of everyone!!

@jeanniek if the bike path connected from where people live to where people want to go, there wouldn't be so much driving.

it's that time of year where I need wool slacks with removable lower leg sections, or I would if I didn't work at home and just switch pants between school dropoff and pickup

This is what are like in ted wheeler's . https://oregon.public.law/statutes/ors_811.410 three $265 fines not collected, in these two pictures (ORS 803.550, folding one edge of the plate, is also a class B violation)

mercedes SUV with oregon plate 749mgs (front license plate is folded, in violation of ORS 803.550, another $265 fine)

if the bike lane is also the "surveyors standing around" lane, we should make it wider.

but really why even paint anything on the street if drivers ignore it?

In case nobody is telling you, your without the front license plate mounted makes you look like an asshole. https://oregon.public.law/statutes/ors_803.540

I'm not sure what happened to this car, it starts smoking a few seconds in. There was not a lot of noise but it looks like they might have jumped the light or something and stomped the gas in a panic while other cars were turning left (I don't think that left arrow ever turns green after oncoming thru green.)

Do I need a better camera or just a better mounting spot that doesn't have bike parts in the frame pulling focus?

enobacon,
@enobacon@urbanists.social avatar

rear camera of the same system, same as the front and with no bike parts in frame, just doesn't get very clear detail

@Karstan the challenge is finding something low-key/low-value enough that I don't worry about leaving it wired into the bike, though I would feel more comfortable if the data card could be easily unplugged while locking the bike. Maybe a small removable head-unit, but this one has five plugs to it, not something I want to be part of my parking routine. Or maybe it would lock and remove like the battery, but I would like to have the bike key hold the data. Nothing I've seen can do that

@mmb it's roughly the height of license plates, which is 90% of what I want it to capture, it just doesn't reliably have the clarity that needs.

enobacon,
@enobacon@urbanists.social avatar

@mmb maybe I need to add another camera at each end with a narrower angle lens, since I too frequently end up without a usable plate and forget to look at it or say it into the audio.

enobacon,
@enobacon@urbanists.social avatar

@mmb yeah the whole point of having the camera is for insurance, so it worries me that I frequently can't make out the plate, if I needed it for something more serious than the thousands of traffic violations I've endured that aren't worth the onerous process of personally doing something about it. But if I could get a cut of the tickets I could quit my day job. Trying to make a list of cars with missing or modified plates though, 🤔 maybe that could be better automated with stationary cameras.
