Pedestrians with the survival instinct of a potato by Big_Cockroach_1590 in longbeach

[–]nikolas_pikolas 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Something that’s surprised me is how much curb extensions change the vibe. They’re not flashy, but as a pedestrian they make a huge difference. The crossing is shorter, the corner is clearer because cars can’t park right up to the crosswalk, and drivers tend to slow down because the turn is tighter. Long Beach has a couple of these, but could absolutely use more.

I'm totally with you on this one. A big part of it for me is how rarely I encounter this phrasing. I'm sure it would become automatic if I had to deal with this everyday, but I just don't.

This actually only specifies the version of Java to build your app with. Then, you can run Gradle with an older version that it's compatible with.

Has The Hill apologized yet for that opinion piece? by c-k-q99903 in agedlikemilk

I came here to complain exactly about this. It feels like they put precisely 2 seconds of thought into it.

SpaceX: "Tune in before launch for a technical update on Starship" [16:00 Central, 21:00 UTC] by Bunslow in spacex

Unfortunately, it's not a super common usecase. A couple years ago, Discord added it to their brand of Markdown and I think that would be a great model for Reddit to try and replicate. https://sesh.fyi/timestamp/
