last time i rode my bike in the street a car brushed past me and the driver screamed at me to get on the sidewalk. i was in one of the only three blocks where my city law explicitly states sidewalk riding is strictly forbidden and bikes must be in the street
Have had more close calls with a high speed e-bike on the sidewalk than I would like this year. Would probably be good if something were done about this...

(explaining the birthday paradox to an american) okay so imagine a classroom
i don't think this is even a real statistical anomaly anymore. it seems like there's someone in the crowd at every mass shooting who has been through it before. this doesn't have to be our shared cultural experience.

if you can’t grow your own store-bought is fine. recipe comes out the same either way
I want this to be on record. There’s no such thing as fake tits. You either have naturals or bolt ons. They’re all real to me. Fake tits are in your imagination and you’re probably an anime nerd touch a natural or bolt on tittie brother. If you can put it in your mouth it’s real.

the uma musume archer is the first self propelled artillery piece. because there is no rider to control the uma musume by locking into stirrups, the high heel cavalry boot never comes into fashion, resulting in a world where billions of women are never forced to walk digitigrade
a commenter said that if there are no horses in the uma musume universes, then it means the mongols were an empire of uma musumes

nobody who ever says the need to gun it is an absolute right follows it up by advocating for electric vehicles, which actually can deliver emergency acceleration where mechanical driveshafts cannot. makes you think
"But what if I have to gun it in an emergency?" is one of those knee-jerk responses which evaporates when you consider the number of times you've had to do that on a residential street, vs the number of times you've had to slam on the brakes.
My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

my friend, the tool you are thinking of already exists. it is called “the brake pedal”

let us imagine that you drive 3 hours one way, at highway speed, continuously. at 60 this takes you 180 miles and at 75 it takes you 225. that’s forty five extra miles. are you driving 225 miles one way in a straight line at continuous speed? because if you are:

you should sell your house and move
“Choose to not speed”. I’m guessing you live in a big city? I drive about 4-6 hours a day for work and I’m telling you, no one on the road isn’t speeding.

It’s easy to drive slow on a small city roads. But try it on a country road that is 30 feet wide and two lanes.

drivers be like “i refuse to read and obey the law on operating a motor vehicle and then get mad when i am punished for breaking the law. why can’t i have a human casually refuse enforcement rather than lawfully exercising my first amendment right to petition the government to change the law”
In both cases part of the disconnect is people getting ticketed for behavior that regular cops wouldn’t cite. I’ve gotten a camera ticket for stopping before the crosswalk but not before the white line. No cop would issue a ticket. Same for going 10 over if it matches prevailing speed.

Another /u/lebiro piece on the Bosmer. It ends with the question “Do you understand?” and brother, I do not. Fun, though.
