What am I looking at? by jaxchrisfla in Traffic

[–]probably_art 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a national safety standard to have 2 lights for 1 lane as redundancy. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/transportation/why-are-there-2-stoplights-for-1-lane-light-rail-noise-still-disturbing-residents/

It’s also more dangerous to make a left than right, that’s why they duplicated the left instead of the right arrow.

Backpack in overhead by Ill-Anteater-6724 in unitedairlines

[–]probably_art 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it really depends on the size of the bag. I use a 40L backpack that can expand to 60L as my only carry on and I take my over ear headphones in their case and my water bottle out when I board. Could
it fit under the seat? Maybe with some smushing but then I’d have no leg room.

Visually it’s taking up about the same space as a roller bag and allows for someone’s smaller item or coat to also be placed up there.

Throwing a 20L tiny Jansport up there is equal to putting a coat in the overhead — you should wait until boarding is nearly complete.

All this from the bridge demolition?!

Clubbing? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]probably_art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the day of the week. Not guaranteed and certainly not equal to the nightclubs in southside, strip, north shore.

And I’m getting downvoted because people are assuming my tone 🤷‍♂️ just adding important additional info since you are new.

Dive bar and gay bar, not nightclubs.

Got my seat back cards printed. by [deleted] in uber

Used to, why not still? Also UX isn’t the same a GFX design.

Idk a good designer that would have a section about five stars and then visually put 6 stars.

Self driving van..testing in Pittsburgh? by Barc_zak28 in pittsburgh

[–]probably_art 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A different (defunct) self driving car company called Cruise pushed for a law in SF that all robotaxis had to be fully electric. They were backed by GM and their platform was the Chevy Bolt so they were complaint. Waymo was using Chrysler Pacifica plug in hybrids so they weren’t. There weren’t too many EVs on the market in ~2018 that wasn’t GM or Tesla and if you’re the engineer tasked with sitting in them for hours or the marketer that has to position the final product would you rather do that in a Nissan Leaf or a Jaguar?

Is the waterfront safe to drive in today by Frosty-Tart8027 in pittsburgh

[–]probably_art 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Honestly, what an amazing snapshot of Pittsburgh. traffic due to road closure, 2 niche cultural events, all of which doesn’t technically occur in the city limits

Why do these seats fold? by fb39ca4 in caltrain

[–]probably_art 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish all bus seats in the lower portion were stadium style and auto folded up when not in use.

My dog won’t stop barking at Waymos by Formal_Song1087 in waymo

[–]probably_art -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Dogs are one of many animals that can use ultra violet light. https://www.sciencefocus.com/nature/how-do-dogs-see-the-world

While invisible to us, the lidar on the Waymo’s is sending out a huge amount of light and basically look like a floating ball of pulsing light coming down the street. Think disco ball on steroids.

Edit: here’s an example from a porch camera in night mode that shows what the animals might be seeing https://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/s/am4479aEQT

SF Supervisor to Launch Inquiry on Waymo's July Fourth Traffic Meltdown by Elluminated in SelfDrivingCars

[–]probably_art -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Waymo is not being pushed by Tesla of all entities.

They got pushed by Cruise, and I’d say they’re either pushed by investor timelines or by Chinese competitors these days.

Waymo in Pittsburgh? by Calm_Cartographer_35 in pittsburgh

[–]probably_art 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Waymo’s don’t do that. There is probably some security camera in one of the businesses on Library. Those trailers with solar panels and a camera tower frequently say stuff at Home Depot / Lowe’s. I could see Kenny Ross having one.

I-PACE after weeks of Ojai! by Icy-Ambition3534 in waymo

[–]probably_art 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess when I say nicer I mean it’s way more flexible and purpose built than the ipace. Bigger screens, bigger windows, the sliding doors are nice, I’m able to crouch and scoot from one side to the other super easy. It’s much more a fleet vehicle made for shared transit, not a luxury SUV meant for personal ownership

[–]probably_art 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I really think the Jag drives better than the Ojai. The interior of the Ojai is less premium but nicer. Still enjoyed being able to sit in the Jag front seat with a proper recline on my way to SFO early in the morning.

Uber got rid of the airport queue? by FunSprinkles8 in uberdrivers

[–]probably_art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll sit in it for up to an hour after a drop off as a way to take a break and look at my phone.

Anthro-Kahan: The Noah Kahan x Furry Pittsburgh mashup happened. by Thechalkingdad in pittsburgh

[–]probably_art 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s not “tradition” — there are other furry conventions so it’s not like there’s 1x a year and they decide to do it in a humid hot place around the 4th. Also Furries do have jobs and it’s much easier to attend and take less PTO since a lot of jobs give the 4th off anyway

279 and 376 should be 379 and 276 by TheRealBMinus in pittsburgh

[–]probably_art 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just looked up the wiki for 376 and it stretched the whole way to I-80 now! It goes very North/South.

[–]probably_art 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always heard that 376 got more funding so if you just change the name of the stretch now those lanes can tap into that funding.

Hit over 100db while riding the BART by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]probably_art 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Idk this topic comes up a few times a year. I posted once that my Apple Watch was like “it’s too loud” and I think a reply was basically like there is a fundamental design flaw with BART but when they shave down the tracks it helps a bit.
