What does any of this have to do with speed cameras?

Later, if i remember, I will tag you in the type of conversation I have with my very special friend in Ukraine. We have had this conversation since 2022.

In the real future, 50-somethings will not imagine that spending $500 on cycling clothing will make them actual racers, or cycle 3-across on 60kms roads while doing 20.

Why are you even trying? Cyclists are the least respectful travelers on any road.

I am pretty sure we will also still have assholes who run along public trails pretending they are in the Tour de France, commenting on speed cameras while they terrorize pedestrians.

Ukraine cannot be defeated.
They are the original Kievan-Rus.
After centuries they are still a people.

Reaching a bit.

It's almost like you have zero points about why photo-speed cameras are better than being stopped for 30 minutes in view of the public where the lesson can be 1000 times more effective.

Go back to terrorizing pedestrians on public trails you imagine are your private race tracks.

They failed to govern for 20 years.

Why would they suddenly learn now? All they have left is rubble, and few Gazans are thanking them.
The only thing the PLO ever did was bring destruction to Libya, Lebanon, Tunisia, West Bank, Gaza.

Please don't bitch at me. Netanyahu is a war criminal.
Look at this image. This is the proud Hamas. Starving.
They invited a nuclear power into their territory with the murder and dismemberment and cruel rape of 1200 people and then took 'hostages'.

Hamas asserts control in Gaza and targets alleged collaborators as ceasefire takes hold | CNN

Hamas is reasserting control of parts of Gaza not occupied by Israeli forces as the ceasefire takes hold – amid continuing uncertainty about security in the territory if the group is disarmed.

I am not lazy. I can clean my own floor. I am not a savage.

A speeding ticket in the mail is not enforcement.

It also has zero to do with cycling, among who's community members (of which I have been one) I have found ZERO consideration of pedestrians or traffic laws.

Thank you for explaining the future to me.

Your mouth-breathing understanding of traffic enforcement is noted.

Last week there was a firefight between Hamas and a clan in Gaza that left almost a dozen Hamas dead as well as a few clan members.
Peace in Gaza DOES NOT INCLUDE HAMAS.
Otherwise, it is only rinse and repeat.
Only 1/3 of Gazans are pro-terrorist. Relatives.

Cameras do not solve a speed problem.
I used to get a ticket once per year in Edmonton. It's a grab for money a day late. You want to enforce speed laws? Get police out there enforcing it instead of having private meetings in mall parking lots.

I cancelled my sub to the NYT in the 1990's. @nytimes.com
It has long been the mealy-mouthed apologist for oligarchs.

There is no bothsideism here. There is correct and incorrect but they would pretend otherwise and give #Project2025 a place to hide.

Scheduling protests on a social calendar when it might become convenient to hold signs is a huge problem.
Korea did not wait to shut down an illegal marshal law declaration. Georgians didn't wait to shut the country down.

Jeff, I have not commented much lately because I find the collapse of the American version of democracy to be quite exhausting.

I would like to remind you that the USA was founded on principles only an oligarchy would like. Limited suffrage and moneyed interests.

Street gang threatens you.

Seems like a good time to get a random paint ball party going.
Not airsoft.

Otherwise, without ID, only threats, they are just thugs.

I want to remind you that the rest of the world is hoping you guys figure it out.
Whether any of us including you likes it or not, the US is an important country that at least knows the words liberty and freedom.
I know who my American friends are. We don't hate you, only your oligarchy.

The main problem is that they never imagined a time when almost everyone with authority would not want to follow it.

Courts are a crap way to enforce it. The transgression has already occurred. Nobody in the US talks about how many thousands of people have been dumped in strange countries.

McConnell too. He could have removed Count Trumpy Crisco from office after Jan 6.
I had a look at this to see if that would make him ineligible to run again and I couldn't figure it out because the removal is so specific.

That difference means the Gripen can climb, chase, and reposition faster in a dogfight—vital advantages when seconds decide survival. Designed for agility and speed rather than stealth-heavy bulk, the Gripen proves that sometimes the leaner, smarter fighter wins the race in the skies.

Andrew B @canukukra.bsky.social · 2d

Did you know? The Saab Gripen may not look as bulky or futuristic as the F-35, but when it comes to raw speed, the Swedish jet leaves the American stealth fighter in its vapor trail. The Gripen C can reach an impressive Mach 2, while the F-35 tops out at around Mach 1.6.

How exactly did Rome acquire so much gold, so many baubles?
That was the wealth of poor people accumulated over centuries.

The Pope personally lives in well appointed apartments and has servants (clergy). He lives like the 1%, no matter how firmly he clasps his own hands.

The Associated Press @apnews.com · 3d

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.
