Technically you have to put your toe in with the sharks for this to have been a violation on the #drivers' part. Pedestrians are also technically within their rights to signal their intent to cross by deploying a spike strip ("including but not limited to cane, crutch or bicycle.")

The hundred foot avenues (in this case, York Avenue in Manhattan) claim another victim.

We know how to make them safe. Let's do it all over the city!

GM end their Ultra Cruise autonomous driver assist program after also ditching the Cruise division...

Self driving cars is a problem too hard for GM

@Rjdlandscapes The article you linked says they are ending ultra cruise, not super cruise.

If you wanted to put 1000W of solar charging on your EV, how would you connect that? Sounds like it would take yet another DC-DC converter and then go in through the 400V bus?

@enobacon yeah, you’d essentially be “fast charging” with 48 volts, or whatever comes out of the cells. Hyundai somehow does this with the rear motor inverter, but I don’t understand how that works.

“Is this the conservative thing to do to create another entitlement program, in effect to create a third education system?”

Rural teamed up with House Dems to reject from the massive school spending bill, HB 1. It's the latest embarrassing blow to the governor's agenda, according to Reporting Fellow @josephinelee: https://www.texasobserver.org/hb-1-vouchers-omnibus-special-session?utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=audience

@TexasObserver @josephinelee “Choosing” a school in a state with zero transportation options that aren’t “car” seems like a nightmare for everyone. Can you imagine what millions of families driving their kids across town every rush hour would do to traffic?

Volunteers from @bikeloudpdx shouldn't need to stand in front of #PBOT contractors' trucks to stop them from removing #pdxBikes infrastructure, but that's where we are with the current dysfunction at city hall. (Yes, even while they scramble to fill a budget hole that will cost union jobs.) Get involved and let #Portland's elected officials know that #ClimateAction, #SafeStreets & #VisionZero are popular + too important to trade for a few free on-street #parking spaces.

@enobacon @bikeloudpdx What the hell? That NE 33rd bike lane is like 3 weeks old and they are removing it? I mean, it's totally pointless since it's like a block long and has cars parked in it at all times with zero enforcement, but still...

I need to sign up for these alerts. I can almost see this intersection from my window and I wasn't there. :(

@bikestuffpdx Well, we are a Republic. And I agree that a pure democracy is a terrible idea. I have my own life it live. I want to elect a representative, not carry the burden of running a country myself.

Work on the COSMIC Text Editor is progressing nicely. If you want to help out, we need translations to be filled in. Copy the i18n/en/cosmic_edit.ftl file, edit it, and send it to me any way you want.

    @mph I also used MacBooks until a few years ago. Now I have no idea why you’d want an aluminum shell. The ThinkPads are plastic, but still feel really premium and I can use them while wearing a watch. Also, Linux never works right in a MacBook, which is probably more important…

    @enobacon what is up with this sticker everywhere all of a sudden? Seems like people are putting them on their cars so they can drive the speed limit without getting rammed? Not sure.

    Thank god we're almost past the era of "every frame is perfect" on Wayland, yeah Vsync is great for general computing, browsing the web, watching videos, but it should never have been forced, it should have been on by default with user control to disable for cases like gaming.

    @BrodieOnLinux this, fractional scaling and global hot keys are pretty much all that’s left to do, and they are all really close to being supported and implemented. What a time to be alive!

    Making the curb lane of every stroad into a bus-and-turn-only lane may not sound like it would make a huge difference. But I would far prefer this vehicle be a camera-equipped public-agency-operated bus passing me and my kid than some rando in a garbage truck, hummer, etc. Half of the time, the bus driver is stopping and will wait for you to get past the stop anyway.

    Kids on bikes getting hit with cars is a problem with how we (don't) regulate cars and traffic Engineers. It's got nothing to do with , whether the bike is electric or not.

    @enobacon This kind of thing in so annoying. Helmets make everything safer. Even driving a car. But we don't get this kind of victim blaming when someone wrecks their car.
