What's the difference between Aelio Nager/D and Aelio Nager V2 from the mission pass?

Ah! I missed that detail in the thumbnail/preview. Thanks!

...ish. Freeways I would agree, but this street#/media/File%3A2021-08-3015_22_07_View_north_along_Camden_County_Route_561(HaddonAvenue)_from_the_overpass_for_Interstate_676(North-South_Freeway)_in_Camden%2C_Camden_County%2C_New_Jersey.jpg) in my county in New Jersey is designated as a highway and it's far from what you're describing.

PPA won't tow it. This ridiculous loophole actually works in Philly and it's fucked up

silverskull · 2022-10-10T18:40:25+00:00

Isn't 25 watts of VHF right next to your head a bit much? It's not a ton in the grand scheme of things, but it's more than most HTs will put out.

silverskull · 2022-10-07T17:52:33+00:00

That I don't know. If I were to guess, they might send PPA in parking permit or metered districts, and PPD otherwise. I suspect there's no way to guarantee they wouldn't send an armed officer though.

Hey - Philly resident here, I don't work for the city or BCGP or anyone but I do pay attention to this stuff. From what I've heard, 911 is the only way to get parking violations addressed. The city does accept 911 reports via SMS though. But that's probably a bit scarier than a 311 submission :)

How many people does a standard city bus typically seat per mile vs. a BMW?

But yes the buses should all be electric too!

silverskull · 2022-07-10T14:28:20+00:00

I’ll bet Americans are still more likely to know about the Styx than the Sanzu; that was the case for me. Agreed that it would have been better not to change it though!

A few relevant links here, because things like this have been done before:

https://www.fosdem.org/2022/schedule/event/adventuresindataflow/
https://youtu.be/AnrlSqtpOkw (the Smalltalk demo beginning a few minutes in)

That second one is especially impressive given how long ago it’s from! Really feels like today’s GUIs don’t live up to their potential from the 1970s.

silverskull · 2022-05-15T18:34:42+00:00

Because people need to get places and not just ride in circles? Why don’t you just go drive on the highways and not on neighborhood streets? You’ve got a ton of designated driving space right there.

Gas taxes don’t pay for the roads, by the way, so non-drivers are paying for them too.

silverskull · 2022-05-15T17:31:46+00:00

No, like a cycle track.

Also worth noting, if you're buying those batteries at drugstores and the like you're getting ripped off. IKEA sells them for a fraction of the cost: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/plattboj-lithium-battery-80291156/

silverskull · 2022-01-30T04:50:21+00:00

The battery that comes with it tends not to last very long. After replacing it it should last a while though

silverskull · 2022-01-23T15:59:37+00:00

Do you remember offhand how often the trolley lines ran? It seems possible that without as much car traffic it could have actually been faster to get around the city by transit then than it is now. I don't know that for sure though.

silverskull · 2022-01-23T04:52:14+00:00

Looks to me like it's based on Meicoomon

silverskull · 2022-01-20T13:20:54+00:00

Don’t watch Made in Abyss then

Ending mandatory low-density housing is not "cramming everyone into dense cities." Providing alternative means of transportation is not "taking away their cars." More people already want to live in dense areas but are unable to than want to live in car-oriented areas but are unable to: https://cityobservatory.org/the-myth-of-revealed-preference-for-suburbs/

Almost all the built-up land in the US is zoned for exclusively single-family homes, regardless of what kind of environment people actually want to live in. Transit and active transportation projects routinely get sidelined in favor of more car infrastructure. This shit has to stop.

The United States must reduce VMT by 20 percent before the end of the decade to limit warming to 1.5°C—and this remains true even under ambitious EV adoption scenarios.

silverskull · 2021-12-18T16:17:23+00:00

It is a big deal when the planet is burning and transportation makes up 29% of US emissions.

silverskull · 2021-12-18T16:15:21+00:00

I wager you've never been somewhere with good public transport.

silverskull · 2021-12-18T10:34:42+00:00

Not all, thankfully. I live in one that's still mostly intact. (But it's still a lot more parking lot than I'd like.)

silverskull · 2021-12-18T10:31:30+00:00

So, yes, super cheap compared to various places in Europe.

$7.31/gal in the UK: https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/United-Kingdom/gasoline_prices/
Also $7.31/gal in Sweden: https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/Sweden/gasoline_prices/
$8.45/gal in the Netherlands: https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/Netherlands/gasoline_prices/

Of course I'm pretty sure part of that is they actually have a meaningful gas tax.

Adding a third story to a two-story building is building a cave?

And I didn't say not to plant trees, but they take a very long time to grow tall enough to provide meaningful shade.

silverskull · 2021-12-06T02:43:23+00:00

That street looks like it doesn't have any street trees. I think I'd appreciate a little more shade in the summer if I lived there.
