This is great. I just wish solving the issues I have to deal with as a cyclist were as ‘easy’ to do. Not a lot I can do when bike lanes just end and the road narrows enough to make it unreasonable to add one beyond pouring more asphalt.
I'm worried for the world. All I've been thinking about is WW3 and this shit makes me want to vomit. I can't even smoke weed anymore without having a near panic attack. I feel unmotivated. I wake up and immediately just want to go back to bed. I'm not trying to spread fear but the Doomsday clock is 90 seconds till midnight,...
While I agree that very very few companies recognize emotional labor, if we’re all going to be forced to work insane hours and put forth an immense amount of effort while doing so, we should be fairly compensated for it. The vast majority of companies fail to realize that it’s not one or the other, but BOTH.
I truly don’t see how doing so would adversely affect any company. If they need the additional labor an extra eight hours can provide, they can hire someone else at 32 hours/week to cover it with an overlapping schedule. If the business is smaller, they can pay overtime.
Anecdotally, my own job doesn’t require me to work eight hours every day. Shit, I’m lucky to do four hours of actual work in a day. The amount of work ebbs and flows, but I find myself more often than not watching YouTube on my work computer simply because there’s literally no more work for the day.
Most larger cities already have this kind of law in place anyway, limiting the power of the motors on e-bikes. For instance, mine is a Class-2 with a max speed of around 14mph and motor rated at 500w. It’s actually got a 1000w motor in it so it’s up to that speed really quickly, but it struggles to go faster because the bike is 70lbs with a 300lb rider (I bought it to lose weight and commute to work).
Makes perfect sense in my eyes to limit the speeds like this. Bike lanes are usually shit anyway, with crap all over ‘em from the road. No point in having an accident because some idiot had a blowout and nobody cleaned up the tire.
The fact that I've seen so few cyclists wearing high visibility gear is astounding. That was the first thing I bought after buying my bike, was a high-vis retro-reflective vest. Probably also helps that my bike has running lights, but still.
I agree, but we don't live in that world. Until our governments start giving a shit, we gotta do what we gotta do. If we're going to be forced to share the road with two ton death machines, it only makes sense to ensure that they can at least see us.
Your download speed being fast or slow doesn't mean the servers hosting the data you're accessing or the DNS servers between you and that server are going to feed you data at that speed.
Yes, but normal websites might not. There’s no reason to if the amount of data being transferred is so small. Even large transfers, particularly streaming video providers, will have trouble feeding data to you at 1 Gbps simply because the network interface on the server might be saturated, the switch it’s connected to might have a slower CPU, the DNS server might be tossing your data into a queue or have a slower CPU itself. There are SO MANY hops between you and whatever data you’re trying to access, and every one of them influences the speed at which data will get to you. I’m not saying gigabit speeds aren’t worth paying for, but not everyone needs those speeds, especially if their ISP’s hardware isn’t up to snuff.
Pornhub has disabled its site in Texas to object to a state law that requires the company to verify the age of users to prevent minors from accessing the site....
As a Texan, I’ve been using a VPN for about a decade now, so this doesn’t affect me in the slightest.
EDIT: Please don’t take this to mean that I don’t believe this is, or should be, the norm. Our state government has overstepped its bounds many times over, and the quality of life in this state has done nothing but go downhill since the Repuglicunts came into power almost 30 years ago. I’ve done nothing but vote for anyone but the incumbent right-wing fascists since I was old enough to vote.
So, wait. He wants to secede, but also supports the US military spending money to sponsor an event in his state? Do you want help from the federal government or not, Gregg? Or did the tree hit more than your spine when it fell on you? Though I suppose both can be true…
