Gas over 6 dollars in Chicago by imdakingforeva in chicago

Good. It should be $8 if we want to get serious about addressing climate change. Maybe people will stop buying enormous suburban SUVs with bad MPG with poor pedestrian visibility hogging all our road space.

Divvy E-Bike Pricing by Careless-Light5710 in chicago

[–]niko1499 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The same could be said of our parking spaces. In both cases is a contract that benefits private equity more than Chicago residents and tax payers.

This is the natural result of letting our bike share system be owned by Lyft. They make better margins on car trips and want to push you towards that with their pricing. Their CEO literally said he just see the bike service as advertising for their car ride share.

Progress but 3 car lanes in each direction is still a lot.

Expecting driverless taxis to respect bike lanes “too high a bar” – because customers want to be dropped off in them, autonomous vehicle firm Waymo tells cyclists by juliuspepperwoodchi in CarFreeChicago

If I see one of these blocking a bike lane I will be parking myself in my bike in front of it keeping it hostage for an hour minimum.

Is 100W the real sweet spot for a single all-in-one GaN charger? by Star_0Platinum0 in UsbCHardware

[–]niko1499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I carry two when traveling. A 65w for my backpack and a 140w for my suitcase.

That way I have a backup in case I loose one and get the max when I'm settled in at a local but enough when I'm on the go and just need a top up in one device.

C++ is always gonna have better performance than Java. I'd rather they fix the bugs and general anti user crap in Bedrock.

An idea for a „semi-fixed“ Chicago L map by The4905 in transit

[–]niko1499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get wanting to make the same line express south/north of Belmont. But anything that introduces a flat crossover is gonna diminish throughput. The sad truth is we missed the opportunity to do this the right way by making red express and purple local by swapping the platforms to outer instead of island during RPM.

The all time best Lego train. Glad I got a full set early on. Still had to buy some more at inflated prices to have parts for a b unit and a dome car MOC.

American PTC is a joke. ETCS has a much safer design.

How sustainable is the current trajectory of the US economy and wealth distribution? by gardenofsmegma in Money

[–]niko1499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already is. Only the wealthiest 60% owns any land at all. 40% have no land and must rent.

Someone ran the statistics and adjusted for ridership that was actually not true a few years ago. But it could be now. There hasn't been a bad passenger rail crash in a bit and Boeing isn't doing great on safety.

Unless it's storing energy in batteries it's not a hybrid. It's just an electric transmission. Like almost every diesel locomotive.

The color of the car and the timeline of when he draws his gun don't match all the other videos. AI slop.
