The reaction "but I drive this way 5 times a day" to the suggestion that you might use the easier/safer slightly longer route with the left turn arrow (which takes an extra minute) rather than drive through the neighborhood street/bikeway/safe-route-to-school and then make a left from a stop sign with sketchy sightlines ๐ #drivers
I'm old enough to remember a time when me and other kids would roll under garage doors like Indiana Jones just as they were about to shut and there were no IR beams to stop us.
There's a hole in my #Linux knowledge and hopefully one of you has the answer.
I have a freshly factory reset device plugged in to the network, and the lights on it suggest it got an IP. I need to get to it's config page. Assuming this sticker is correct, I know it's mac. What command can I run in terminal (or what GUI app, if need be) to find it's IP address?
None of Oregon's #drivers are qualified to drive, so it's no surprise that the DMV doesn't know what they're doing with your identity. ๐ ODOT's oversite, the OTC, are appointed by the governor BTW. Maybe it would help to pay attention to who is running your government #ORpol#pdxTraffic#ODOTGTFOpdx
Iโd love to hear your best code review tips for a blog post Iโm writing. Particularly, what happens next once youโre using codeowners to assign reviews? I feel like I have more bad examples than good ones ๐
@audrey IDK what to tell reviewers, but: write and commit code with review in mind, then squash the branch to merge into main. Your commits should each be a step or a refactor so reviewers can separate and step through which code/behavior changed and clearly see what isn't changing / why. (And you have added/adjusted the tests in the commit right?) Code in a style that doesn't pollute your diffs and git history/"blame" with a bunch of non-change extra lines adding a comma to the line before.
The way to get people out of their cars is to make it less convenient / easy than at least one other option. Your bus every 15 minutes* isn't doing it. Try a complete actually-connected bikeway network. (* No bus comes every 15 minutes on nights or weekends or other random days or if we forget or...)
@MVHegemony gross, how they turn it into a plea for spending more money on police to manhunt the hit-and-run driver when they all know exactly where to find the traffic engineer who did this.
This is a weird street design. A single car lane to handle both directions, with bike lanes on either side that the cars jump into in case of conflict, and a car storage area:
storage -> bike lane - car lane - bike lane
Seems a lot safer to have a two-way bike lane separated from the cars:
bike lane -> bike lane -> storage -> car lane
I suppose the car lane would need to be a bit wider to accommodate car conflict getting through.
@benfulton not weird at all. edge lane roads / #advisoryBikeLanes are totally common in developed nations, where they've realized that cars can share. It's not, however, a good solution for places with cut-through traffic and unwillingness to follow the best practice of diverting or otherwise impeding cars (such as with a chokepoint and steel bollards) to reduce volumes. This may be another example of that, such as the popularly cited failure in AZ iirc
Mastodon must be getting easier to use, judging from the apparent intellectual skill of some recent replies. Long way to go to match the burdsite namenumbers crowd though.
@Loukas@jackofalltrades riding a bike or #eBikes instead of driving is the most effective political action you can take for #ClimateAction (besides adopting #STARvoting, so your vote can actually count), it's a protest, a boycott that defunds auto+oil industry lobbyists, it builds community, and you get fresh air plus physical activity so you don't burn out.
@jackofalltrades@Loukas ride your bike more? If people are hung up on parking, get them riding and/or talking somehow with an eBike demo event, block parties... Depends on where you are, nobody but St Louis elects a majority mayor, council etc except accidentally sometimes. Organize.
@sanae@Loukas@jackofalltrades all of the funding you manage to give the department of cars will be spent on car infrastructure. If you're lucky it may also include a partial implementation of a #BikeWayNetwork, but this is not remotely near to getting completed even with all of Portland's unfunded boondoggles. And if money turns magic and it does get built+connected, there will still be too much driving to meet GHG goals - up until they remove lane miles from the excessive carway network.
@sanae@Loukas@jackofalltrades sure, but all of those generally take more time and effort than riding your bike to the grocery store, and most people can't see the scam behind the notion of "fund and expand transit and bike and pedestrian infrastructure" until they've tried to bike somewhere and taken the orange pill.
@sanae@Loukas@jackofalltrades exactly, and riding a bike instead of driving whenever you can (even just in your neighborhood) achieves at least that 10x social multiplier without taking time out of your schedule. Plenty of people can ride a bike, even on our unfinished and hostile infrastructure, for some trips. Many more could, once enough people see the BS that is our car-centric infrastructure planning, and the simple things Paris and other cities have done to shift local trips to bikes.
@Andres4NY@thedorismith you mean 16in wheels, though other folders are typ. 20. Some from Lectric seem to have a closer reach, as I mentioned a handlebar swap can help that. Here's my 12yo ~5'4" on the supercargo, swept bars not stock. I'm 5'10".
