Part of the problem is every area is different. I like seeing my senator’s support for it, even as it am skeptical it would help us. Massachusetts was built out long ago, so we have much less new construction than other states, consequently much lower corporate ownership. We’re also high cost of living so have a lot to change. We have state zoning overrides and local regulations that will probably work better for us, but every tool helps. Bring it on

Maybe. If you pay by weight and distance, and focus it on EVs “paying their share”, you may get a lot of truck owners reacting in outrage over something they know nothing about. As an EV owner I would vote for it despite it costing me more, because it’s a fair way to do it, it might cut back in ridiculous trucks …. Although I might angle for the income to be dedicated to “transportation infrastructure “, not just roads

Then again, my brother got one of those Silverado EVs. That battery is three times the size of mine and the car approaches 10,000 pounds. At some point there’s got to be a weight limit

Maybe this is confirmation bias, but when I see a vehicle that can’t stay in its lane or can’t make a turn, it’s inevitably a full sized pickup or suv.

There’s this one street corner near me that is admittedly a tight turn, it it’s near the elementary school and there are kids who walk. Every week or so in the winter, I’ll see tire tracks in the snow, on the sidewalk where kids walk to school, every day, from vehicles that didn’t make the turn and drive over the the corner of the sidewalk. It’s not like we have those tiny one lane paths the UK is famous for, it’s not that tight, any personal vehicle can make the turn, but some drivers can’t maneuver their vehicles well enough.

I’ve actually been wondering about putting together a petition to install different accessibility to the sidewalks. Our town uses the really nice ones where the entire corner is a ramp to the street. That’s great for all of us, but there’s no protection from cars. I wonder if we can go back to the older style with a full height curb aside from a specific ramp. Still accessible even if less so for all of us, but if it’s better at keeping the cars off the sidewalk, it may be worth it

This would be great for EVs, because

• fair is fair
• politicians would stop trying to charge excessively
• more people would realize the full sized pickups are more of a problem than EV s
• if it encourages lighter EVs, that’s great!

I know this is going against the narrative here, but with what little facts we have to go on

• the article said autopilot, not full self driving
• said it couldn’t stay in lane, which seems more like human behavior

At the risk of putting it all back on the driver, if you floor it they have some incredible acceleration. Yes, to the point where they would be hard to control if you were surprised. Another possibility is they panicked and stomped on the wrong pedal. If they were using autopilot with their foot away from the pedal, then using the wrong one in a panic becomes more likely

Autopilot is adaptive cruise control and lane keeping. It is not self-driving. It also doesn’t accelerate hard.

None in my state, but 50 miles, across to the next state

Are making, not are going to

Don’t worry,some states have lowered the minimum age for child workers. Let them earn their food

Even going by the description …… if the problem with Alzheimer’s is the damage is done before you see symptoms, fixing them path to damage can only keep it from getting worse.

Hopefully we’ll eventually see, but I’m in the camp of the only likely cure being prevention. We already know that some lifestyle changes and vaccinations can lower the risk, even if too many of us can’t fix our habits, and our politico-economy prevents us from doing much about environmental risk factors

The trick is early testing to find the condition before symptoms, then perhaps a treatment like this article would be useful

I’m waiting for all the online videos about how it’s actually caused by a parasite, and you can cure yourself with “this one simple trick”

Maybe we’ll finally be able to live out our dreams of acting as captain James T Kirk, wandering the galaxy to have sex with green-skinned women

Maybe we’ll party with that blue skinned guy taking colloidal silver and a bunch of furries, to declare ourselves the Federation

So far he’s shown no sense of shame or even that his victims are people, and his followers don’t seem to care

No, that’s giving Trump too much credit. He’s shown us over and over that he’s interested in personal gain, easily manipulated, and is fine with outright bribery. Blackmail seems like the hard way of getting things done

As someone from the US, I sure as heck don’t respect tipping. Calling it a culture is just more sales pressure. It long since stopped being a gratuity for service and has become a toxic habit for restaurant owners to exploit both customers and employees

Yeah I usually do it anyway because singling out one person to express indignation is also wrong

I’ve heard so much about hatch green chilies, but can’t get them here

Closer than you’d think. I grew up in upstate New York and have since lived in new England. Quebec is practically next door

I have to admit my first choice was the Korma, but this was late on a Sunday and they ran out of rice. They actually offered to serve the Korma over fries, but that’s just wrong

That’s the weird part: New England. So near to Quebec. I’ve met so many visitors from Montreal especially. Ive read so many mentions online.

Heck, my ex-grandmother-in-Law was French Canadian

Yeah a directory … that thing we need ldap for, right?

I Used to be like this but now I disagree. I intentionally use “folders” instead of Linux directories or gitlab groups.

Folders are distinct and meaningful, while directories and groups have multiple meanings not clear without context.
