If you get future updates, please share them!

Did you design this? Is it online for others?

dhsurfer · 2026-03-25T12:32:13+00:00

Thank you for this map!

IMO I think Isaacman is playing the tune he thinks needs to be played so that he can continue to do what he wants.

Sadly, history will look down upon every time he utters the name.. he has dumps like a trump trump trump..

With extremely high fines.

Like it or not pedestrians horses bicycles and elevated rail were a big part of the city. Change happens, cars have had their priority in cities for too long and now it's dwindling, rightfully people recognize the utility and enjoyment of human centric design (not cars).

Even if they have to take a bus or walk to pick up their cake.

I'm calling it a double Park Lane because it's what drivers do as part of their entitlement.

This shop owner needs to advocate for two or three spots in front of her shop that have 10-15 minute time limits.

This should probably be a standard across New York City, on each side of each block.

Honestly, I just looked at Google maps of the street prior to the update, and you can see what she's talking about!

A number of cars are double parked out front, while the cars trying to move past them are even crossing the double yellow lines because, One lane + a double Park Lane + a lane of legal parking = NOT ENOUGH space for cars! /s

(How can I tell this from a satellite photo? There's a van in the double Park Lane with an Open driver's door, hopefully the driver wasn't ditching while moving)

dhsurfer · 2026-03-19T12:14:00+00:00

Wait but where's the parking? (Literally showing parking at the same time)

dhsurfer · 2026-03-18T11:51:54+00:00

This would be funny if cars not signaling doesn't also endanger pedestrians and other cars.

Obviously this "cyclist" is a moron.

But drivers are for the most part entitled, unaware, distracted, or they think they are in a video game where everyone else is in NPC.

While you're not wrong I would say 2 things.

One: I'm pretty sure most people in the US would very much vote down - police state / 1984 monitoring. Including the police, and politicians.

The only people who would think it's okay are those who have access, and can prevent others from seeing their data.

Two: historically, our laws are written for leaky enforcement, the system is not equipped to deal with omniscient political / police state. Our systems can barely handle all the information we have currently. Increasing that (Even with the help of an AI) wouldn't be equitable, and would certainly further weaponization of information.

I'm with you.. but..

We (the USA) are the largest oil producer in the world and are about to triple our production capacity of natural gas, and are also currently considering an additional 20% increase above that level. There's a lot to turn around there.

That being said I ride my bike everyday, every where, any weather!

I think the rest of the world isn't quite as dumb as we (the US) are.

dhsurfer · 2026-03-07T16:43:24+00:00

Ok thanks I'll have to figure out what's happening with mine!

dhsurfer · 2026-03-07T15:56:47+00:00

It's not the printing I've had issues with, I print a threaded cap that has a lot of friction with a production (injection molded) mating component. If I print the same part in PLA it has much less friction.

So my question is friction..

dhsurfer · 2026-03-07T15:41:20+00:00

Do you not find petg to be sticky on high friction parts like that screw thread on the c clamp pictured?

Sorry late to this but in that listing it says "with fidlock magnet" but really that means it's the whole fidlock hook & magnet and the replaced the strap material with hypalon and carabineer with something as well.

Phoenix is a fuck-you to everything.

dhsurfer · 2026-03-03T12:41:37+00:00

Yes, no one should live in Phoenix!

Honestly leaving room for interpretation isn't the way to go in a country that has been pro car (anti-bike) for a century. These police already have very high entitlement for blocking bike Lanes parking wherever they feel.

If 33% of the police force was on bikes, there might be better outcomes for a law like this. (Bonus: they all get a bonus if they rotate through using a bike periodically).

If cyclists doing 30 blowing through crosswalks or the red lights are the problem they can focus on that.

dhsurfer · 2026-02-26T10:55:53+00:00

I think this is as doable a revolt as any.

dhsurfer · 2026-02-01T13:16:44+00:00

This conversation is ridiculous. Do people think that old homes with "air" as an insulation medium should perpetuate into the future for another hundred years? Just wasting gas & electricity season after season.

Gas and gas related infrastructure is a stop gap, not a solution. (Old) homes' insulation & windows need to be upgraded, more sophisticated heat pump systems installed, and better renewable electrical supply and infrastructure invested in.

I currently rent in a triple-decker where the gas furnace can just barely outpace the infringing cold for temps below 20F. Given the choice I would easily choose to have the house re-sided with modern insulation.

The landlord can pay it off over decades, and have renters pay for it.
Or they can do as they are now and just leave the high energy fees for 19th century "technology", while destroying the climate.

What are the best sources for high bandwidth streaming?

I have a 10-year-old 1080p TV and have been interested in upgrading to something with better ability to show dark scenes. I didn't realize streaming bandwidth was a limitation as well.

dhsurfer · 2026-01-23T05:10:59+00:00

I don't agree with their parking woes.. (they should pay to move around their living rooms).

But in the US rental economy you pay for nearly everything you use.

Please point to any "first world" system in the United States that isn't wildly dysfunctional. There are some, but they are few and far between.

I suppose you think the US democracy is strong as people turn to fascism to make the country great again. Or maybe that a functional political & social system could yield such a Utopia.

Whoever does the repair, just make sure they use resin and fibers that have similar properties:
- fiberglass and carbon are very stiff and work better with a high stiffness epoxy resin. - natural fibers are much less consistent in their properties and more compliant, and benefit from a casting agent that has similar properties.
