And today I learned that HEIC is not a proprietary Apple format

Fucking 💀

I’ve bought one, and exactly one thing from an ad that I have liked, ever. A Purple pillow. Its been years now, and I still use it.

Everything else is regret.

I call this the “don’t speak ill of yeen”-verse

Oh God it’s spreading

I want you–a random individual–to go on stage, and tell the country that just elected Donald Trump to make cities walkable.

Have a ball.

DDIs are the best we have right now. At the very least, the conservative nutjobs in my city don’t detest them to hell… much. They can be scaled down, and single lane versions would be perfectly acceptable in a walkable city.

I’m analysing my local interchanges, and the DDI still appears the safest large intersection in my entire city for pedestrians and cyclers. Add barriers that stupid Americans seem all too eager to detest, and you’ve still got something far safer than anything else available. Make the interchange single-lane at that, and it integrates nicely with a hypothetical walkable city.

I just don’t see how it’s more dangerous than standard intersections for others. Bicycles still ride the same path that the cars do, and pedestrians needn’t worry about right turns on red.

This is a trivial matter compared to the entire rest of the city.

I live in an area with a diverving diamond. I’ve never heard of any collision there. That’s unlike our local mall entrance shitshow, which has a major accident every other day.

I explicitly said I’m anti-car (read: I’m aware they’re car-centric). The rest of this is either outright false, or isn’t solved more effectively by any car-centric alternative.

Diverging diamonds are among the best interchanges in existence. That doesn’t mean they’re great, but they solve far more problems than they introduce.

Please direct your weapons where they actually matter–asphalt itself.

I support a car ban, but these are actually very well designed.

…Yeah!?

That makes horses relatable. I can’t relate to being a non-sentient bundle of metal and glass and stuff, but I can relate to freezing to death and killing myself.

Horses win.

These prices are ridiculously incorrect, but we can dream and strive to build a horsepilled world.

Works better for cheaper, anyway.*

So there’re these things called caltrops.

Aiming.

Well, funny thing–I was once late for a job because my alarm didn’t go off. Guess why? Yep, auto reboot. There was even a notification saying the alarm didn’t go off. Very odd behaviour, but that’s what happened.

The only solution would be to simply turn the setting off at night, or have developers add an automatic scheduling option. Of course, you can just set the timer to be longer than your sleep schedule as well, but then you miss out on security.
