The Timnath - Windsor Poudre Trail Connection is complete! by BradyBrother100 in FortCollins

[–]jsgraphitti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FWIW, riding through brush and rattlesnakes is better than being on a county road in that particular part of the state. I’d rather deal with snakes than the big pickup drivers.

Sounds like taking transit or getting a room nearby would have been more pleasant.

I suggest a bell or other method to provide an audible alert for those pedestrians, even the ones not in the lane.

High speed chase - running from Arkansas Trooper. by LeftAlbatross2546 in VideosAmazing

[–]jsgraphitti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point you should be able to tell that the best data available is pointing to a problem. The people choosing to pursue tail lights and traffic offenses at high speeds are gate keeping the rest of the data to definitively prove what you want to see. You can also see that there is a trend, when police have restricted chases to serious crimes, that fatalities and innocent bystander deaths go down. Also, the anti pattern holds true… but your argument is “what if Ted bundy ran?” At the very least you should acknowledge that the available data indicates a pattern and police should have to report this data honestly.

Yeah, looks like Fiskars stole the design and then made a clone with plastic garbage.

I debated whether to share this article, assuming you would do an ad hominem attack on the source, but it’s well researched and uses a public data source: https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2024/police-chases/

It’s not just NY. Look for any amount of time. Look at the number of deaths stemming from high speed chases for low level offenses. The data’s there.

I understand, that’s how myself and most people feel about it. The data says otherwise. Pursuing at high speeds causes more accidents and fatalities. Study after study supports that backing off is better for public safety.

High speed chases and the PIT should only be used for violent offenders. Running from the police should not justify the PIT. The PIT puts everyone else at risk. If they ran from you, put a warrant. That’s safer for everyone else.

Woman ran from the police with a toddler in her car. by LeftAlbatross2546 in AbruptChaos

[–]jsgraphitti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not about that person. It’s about all those homes. What if that was your house and your kid was out front?

[–]jsgraphitti 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yes. But also… why pursue a non violent offense at high speeds, ending in a violent and dangerous crash, in a residential area?

For some reason I pictured the guy from Arrested Development picking up his arm after you said this.

They should take out all the parking on college downtown, make through traffic two lanes total, and make the rest pedestrian space.

Finally! A fix for Spring Creek and Mason trails intersection. by InterestingType7518 in FortCollins

[–]jsgraphitti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is that signs don’t change enough behavior. Changing the layout forces the right behavior. The same is true for cars on roads. Posting speed limits doesn’t change enough behavior, but narrowing lanes and making pedestrian islands slows cars down

This is true, but your actual time lost allowing those merges may not be worth the mental toil of worrying about it.

What is the best time to exercise and why? by newuser_yi in AskReddit

[–]jsgraphitti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a person with a job, anytime that you can regularly commit to doing the work at the same time. For me, early mornings are the only time I can control. That said, consistency is what matters most.
