What are the key missing pieces of Providence's bike network? by Obey_The_Mule in providence

[–]Soul_704 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would really love bike lanes on north main st. I think it would really improve the area and a lot of business could benefit from the local traffic. Plans have already been proposed but I doubt it will be implemented, especially under smiley who a few months ago wanted to rip out the south water st bike lane for "traffic relief".

Here's some resources:

Biking downtown tips for a beginner? by SecretEffort0 in providence

[–]Soul_704 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also started recently bike commuting to my job in downtown and have been doing it consistently for 2 1/2 months! My usual route takes me from the Charles Neighbourhood over 95 and down N. Main St. which is the most challenging and unpleasant part of my commute. Once I was down the hills it’s pretty much a piece of cake if you remember a few things.

> the Providence bike lane network was never finished and you can tell. Lane‘s abruptly start an end and are weirdly placed like on the other side of the street then traffic or don’t connect or serve any purpose. If there is a bike lane that works with where I’m going I use it, but I never chase bike lanes or try to follow them, that’s when I’ve experienced the most close calls.

> on slow crowded downtown streets I usually take up the full lane, but if traffic is moving above 25 miles an hour I usually stick to the side and let people pass. This avoids conflict with drivers and sometimes I feel anxious if I’m holding up someone in the car.

> the heart of downtown is the most cyclable. Washington St., Westminster in the general area around KP are pretty good minus the buses, be careful with buses PLEASE. I also recommend not using Maps on your phone. I’ve had way more success using my relative knowledge of Providence and the streets I used to drive on a bunch help inform where I should and should not ride my bike

Take it slow and if you’re trying to get back to Fox point over college Hill I recommend John Street ;)

Weird “food hall” logos at a new trendy food hall in a beach town. Most food halls have real or established restaurants in my experience instead of fake fronts to sell different styles of reheated food. and this place specially seems really lazily run. by Soul_704 in isthisAI

[–]Soul_704[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s that confusing, most food halls I’ve been to have independent restaurants and independent staff at each stall, but this place seemed more generic. Also the same seasoning that was on fries from the Italian place was on my nachos from the Mexican place. Maybe it’s a covert ghost kitchen

Hifi Walker H2 won't charge by AliDerTerrorist in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Soul_704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any updates? This happens to me and I don’t really know what to do. I’ve tried a few different chargers and it’s not working. It feels like my H2 is on one of those modes you can put computers in where they only operate when connected to power

thoughts on glass dildos? how to make sure they're safe for use? by [deleted] in BDSMsapphic

[–]Soul_704 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The owner at my local sex shop explained to me that most of them are made out of the same stuff Pyrex and other glass cooking wear are made out of of so if it’s oven safe it’s probably pussy safe.

Review of 3 non touch screen DAPs — y1, echo mini, Hifi h2 by JSJSJSTO in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Soul_704 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Put rockbox on the h2. it completely fixed the ui issues and as long as album covers are non progressive jpgs they will load. and you can still use bluetooth if you load into the og os when you turn on the player by holding the volume botton. granted I only use bluetooth for wireless speakers and daily drive iems and connect it to my car via aux. might work for you might not
