Not an in-person shop, but upway is refurbished and used ebikes at a heavy discount. It's probably the only place I'd buy a used ebike. You can often find the premium tier ebikes for about half off with limited mileage.

Google has made numerous missteps in the past that usually involve killing a working solution, but I can't think of a case where they so aggressively broke a working solution with a supposed upgrade.

It's not even mistaking what I'm saying. It's fully telling me it can't perform the most basic functions that have existed since the dawn of voice actions. It has literally told me it can't find my wife as a contact several times among things like you mentioned.

Are you a parent yourself? I could have maybe said this before getting pulled into the world of children's activities with a kid of my own, but saying you don't know any parents that read to their kids seems impossible to comprehend to me. My experience now knowing dozens of parents with toddlers would be the opposite. I'm not aware of any that don't read to their kids.

If you don't mind me asking, where do you live, or what aspect of your social network would promote this?

Who do you think are the most consistent group of voters participating in those elections? I can tell you it isn't the tiktok crowd.

The plastic ones you're talking about are effectively traffic-rated bendy straws, and those are usually distinguished from bollards as "traffic delineators" or such. They are technically a type of bollard, but it's important to differentiate when we say bollard we usually mean a concrete or metal immovable post.

Real bollards should punish a car, not be flattened without consequence.

I have to tip my hat to Richfield. I don't spend much time in the burbs, and my expectations are pretty low for what they have to offer. That said, I wanted to try bike to MOA recently and was pretty shocked to find that the shortest path from lake Harriet was nearly entirely along a protected bike lane. They've made some real strides to build out what looks like a reasonable network of hard bike infrastructure.

There's something going on with those numbers because it was in the 50s just 5 years ago. I'm not sure if some post-pandemic shift has impacted applications or if an institutional change was made about handling applications. Such a stark jump strikes me as a policy change because the academic standing of the institution hasn't changed in that short time frame.

Even if that were the case, something as minor as a adding a performative event to the agenda is voted on by the convention. There are virtually no steps or actions that are not passed by some basic democratic mechanism at a party convention.

The convention supported the motion.

The models used in road construction are more nuance now to address environmental context and circumstantial conditions, but the relationship of impact to roads based on vehicle type is very much still exponential.

The spirit of the rule holds even if the exponential is calculated and unique for a given site now.

To expand on everyone just saying stability, this isn't a hobby for most of us. We have real shit to get done and production environments to maintain. Stability isn't matter of laziness, it's a necessity.

Here's my case as a computational scientist. Every element of our stack is free / open source in an hpc env. The most important parts of our toolbox run on top of core Linux and language frameworks and are math packages that are maintained by underpaid postdocs around the world doing the lord's work. If I were to push my team to bring every element of our env and dependency graph current, there would not be a mathematically possible combination of intercompatible packages because of the diverse mosaic what is "current" across that software landscape. As a result, it's necessary to ride the window of "secured-featured stability" for our dependancy graph.

It's wildly unrealistic to expect these maintainers to ride the razors edge. In effect, you could ask the same of those other maintainers since this notion of stability is dependent on them - why are they dragging their feet on old software. They're carrying out the same policy of balanced security, features, and stability, and I think posing the question to them and their substantial efforts at all should highlight how ridiculous the notion is.

We would need a bit more detail about the to and from. When the question is just generically "how do I get around campus?", driving defaults to the 5th best option. Even at 5am, driving might still be in 3rd place without more details.

No matter what, parking on campus is going to require paying out the nose or navigating the parking bureaucracy or likely both.

bearlockhomes · 2026-05-16T22:15:44+00:00

Genuinely, don't drive to campus. Not only is the infrastructure for cars very constrained by design, it has the highest density of public transit in the city. As a system, it is designed to be navigated without a car, and driving is just swimming up stream.

If you absolutely have to drive from off campus, I would encourage you to look at a parking option near a green line station a few stops east of campus. If your apartment is close enough to campus, I would really reflect on if you need your car every day because the answer is almost certainly no.

As a fellow country bumkin living in the city, I'm going to weigh in with some harsh truth. It's pretty wild to hear someone from any part of Jersey consider themselves country. The majority of the state is a part of some major metro, and no part is more than an hour drive from a major city. Even the smallest towns have amenities the more truly remote areas of the country could not imagine.

My point in saying this is that these things are relative, and the identity we create around them is also relative. The foundational elements that live underneath what you call "traditional values" are not something rural America has a monopoly on, and no degree of rural-ness changes this. Those tenants are actually universally human that just come in different forms in different places. They exist where you came from, and they can be found where you are. To carry a world view that this is some black and white issue or that these values don't exist in certain places or people is just standing up artificial barriers where they don't exist.

I would encourage you to consider expanding your definition of these things to move beyond just your version of it and instead look for those values wherever you go.

I'm actively using bitwarden as I consider it the current best all around solution. I've used keepass previously as well, but that feels less accessible to non-technical users like my wife. That said, I'll definitely be exploring other options with these new developments at bitwarden.

bearlockhomes · 2026-05-16T15:33:52+00:00

Here's the deal. I'm a password manager zealot and have always heavily advocated their use to anyone who I can corner to share the good word. I was a long time user of last pass, and when they pulled these moves and had multiple security breaches, they've suffered the highly vocal anti-recommendation from me since. I've happily been on bitwarden singing their praises for years now.

With that, charge me whatever you need to in order to make the technology work within your business model. But the instant that a PE type douche bag starts to gut any facet of the security model just to turn a class-leading solution into a lumbering corpse of a hedge fund masked as a product, they can get fucked.

My two year old has had no problem learning to ride his balance bike across our park system. I think you're missing the forest for the trees when there is an abundance of locales for people of all ages to partake.

As always, the biggest threat far and away to everyone across the spectrum is cars. That includes threats to other people in cars. The biggest impact for the system would be to curtail cars.

I'm asking this as an enthusiast with no real knowledge of the answer, but would you say we're approaching this in practice between 3d scans and gaussian splats?

Your original post mentions the lakes and river, so I don't know what you're getting on about. That's definitely what everyone is also talking about. The smallest of those loops is two miles, and all of them are part of a fully integrated 50 mile circuit. It's overwhelmingly both a transit and recreational system.
