I like the pop that the house has by being the only thing with solid black outlines!

The taste is perfectly fine to me, but the similarity in smell while cooking it to fresh but wet hay always throws me a bit.

The cow/graveyard game, finding signs that start with each letter of the alphabet, finding license plates from the most states, punch buggy of course, and if my parents were pissed off the silent game was enforced.

But NEVER counting the number of cars you see. That was bad luck.

People will say it doesn’t make a difference, but it apparently made enough of a difference that they still can’t find the guy that was putting pipe bombs around the US capitol. I think at least a portion of the “they can still identify you under your mask with computers” claims are based on very niche situations (high quality footage of someone wearing a thin, fabric mask) and exaggeration or allowing people to incorrectly draw their own conclusions.

Why? It’s just going to be COVID and car wrecks being the main killers, like it is every year.

Where are motorcycles limited to 25 kph, the way bicycles (including e-bikes) are? There is also an inherent weight difference between a motorcycle and a bike, even an e-bike, which changes how dangerous they are.

It is at first, but it makes sense when you consider that bikes take longer to come up to speed than cars do, and have a much more limited capacity to get out of the way when they’re not at speed. So if you make bikes lose and regain that speed many times while riding, multiplied by many bikers, eventually one of them is going to wind up encountering a driver that’s not paying attention while they’re leaving a stop sign.

I’m sure that’s not the only reason, but I’d be surprised if it wasn’t a reason.

Damn, that sounds a lot more annoying than slamming into a pedestrian with a two ton vehicle and killing them.

[-] Catoblepas 25 points 3 days ago

It should be, because it’s actually less safe for bikes to come to a full stop at red lights and stop signs.

Funny that they’re calling them AI haters when they’re specifically poisoning AI that ignores the do not enter sign. FAFO.

It was a more innocent time. I was introduced to cupholder.exe from my mom, who got it from a coworker’s chain email, as all things spread in those days. I think it might have specifically been called a coke can holder in the email because we were in the south, lol.

I feel so much more normal for just saying hello to my shower spider now.

After making a big deal out of how my husband needed to listen to the alert and drop and cover, we get a tiny rattle about 15 seconds later… 🤦‍♂️

Maybe doctors get more thanks per capita, but I would bet it’s not by much.
