Gregory's ServerThis is such bullshit. Safety decreases as speed increases, and viewing safety as only applying to people inside the car is the worst carbrained thinking there is. Just no. https://electrek.co/2024/01/29/quick-ev-acceleration-safety-feature/ #RoadSafety #FuckOff

When Musk took over Twitter I set two tests that would cause me to leave: if abuse of underrepresented groups went up significantly and if Trump was reinstated. Both of those occurred within a week so I quit. There were a lot of things I loved about Twitter but the decision wasn’t hard for me and literally every development since has validated it. Having trigger conditions is a very helpful model. Anyway fuck that guy and the sink he rode in on.  @marcprecipice I deeply appreciate the technique of establishing boundary conditions for oneself when venturing into unknown territory. It helps avoid the apocryphal frogs in slowly boiling water phenomenon. @marcprecipice yes that was good idea. My trigger was when it became clear his acquisition would finally close. I deleted account and never looked back just like I did Facebook in 2016 @marcprecipice I didn’t set a hard and fast rule, but what you listed are the same reasons I left. “A second car wasn’t in their budget. Despite being convinced that she was ‘not a bike person,’ she began testing e-bikes. Eventually, a lightbulb turned on when her e-bike-owning friend told her she wasn’t buying an expensive bike. It was a cheap car." https://wapo.st/3RXYuAb #EBikes #ClimateChange #BikeTooter #Cycling @marcprecipice I happily tell my neighbors that by switching to e-bike I turned my one car garage into a three car garage with plenty of room for storage. Wow, I love this 2023 map of European sleeper train routes, done in a subway-map style. Gotta catch 'em all. Source: https://back-on-track.eu/night-train-map/ /cc @lmc @jkottke #Tågskryt

@marcprecipice @lmc @jkottke Spain used to have many 30 years ago, but not anymore sadly. @marcprecipice @lmc @jkottke Now I'm tempted to think of a reason for every place where there's no night train connection. Southern border of CH: There's ghosts! You can't drive there by night! Very useful, thank you! Found a sleeper that might get me from Warsaw to Italy this summer! 🤩 |
@marcprecipice Dark PR frame number 2, “bad is good”, cf @grantennis book
@marcprecipice and safety decreases exponentially with speed - rather important for pedestrians and cyclists who are unlikely to damage a vehicle by running into it at high speed.
@marcprecipice it heartens me to see I'm not the only person with this opinion.
