Probably helps a little bit in keeping some insects off the tiger as well.

Often times being pushed so far from their work because their city downtown is 60% parking lots and it illegal to build any new buildinga unless they are luxury condos or mcmansions.

If the city still had decent density, they could easily live closer to work.

Trump crashing the economy, Trump dying from whatever, Vance taking over and taking credit for any kind of recovery sounds almost like its planned.

You can start with politicians like Doug Ford in Ontario, Canada. He passed bills letting him rip out fairly new bike lanes from Ontario's largest city's downtown, banning the entire province from building new bike lanes without his approval, and hidden in his bill is legislation that lets him build highways without doing any environmental assessments.

All while Canada is in a economic and housing crisis, a time where bicycles and bike lanes can lower cost of living and support denser housing developments.

Whenever I call 911, my phone notifies my that blocked numbers will be able to call for a little bit after dialing 911.

I used to set my phone as a private number. I'd have to call customers sometimes to confirm times or discuss jobs, but most customers didn't need access to my direct number and we'd rather them contact the office than contact me directly.

I could defintely see someone stealing a bike and not realizing the battery is missing, they could have just assumed the battery was dead.

User choose to install their own software, meaning its now the softwares fault the car killed a pedestrian.

I'm all for open source but even closed source profit based systems haven't mastered self driving, this seems a little bit ridiculous to use on a public roadway.

Healthcare profits go up, what else would be the definition of a great america?

Just another reminder that EVs don't magically make cars green or safer. You still have the ashphault, the tire pollution, brake dust, end of life recycling, stormwater runoff, noise pollution, roadkill, wasteful car centric planning, and dangers to pedestrians.

Cries in North American, where suburban streets are wider than freeway lanes
