Back right pocket gang?

It’s spaces like this I think of when people complain about modern open plan offices.

This is so claustrophobic, and luckily for me, I like a bit of chatter in the background.

Honestly at this point, because of first past the post, this probably splits the establishment vote. Which I personally think is hilarious (ranked choice being implemented would be better, of course).

I will never forgive USB for the ridiculous naming

The celebrations when Thatcher died we’re very appropriate

I think the original commenter means that Google got off with a tap on the wrist

Oh, I never knew this was a thing (also Voyager user), thanks!

\ is the escape character in markdown. Gotta do a double \ and then another \ for the underscore

I wasn’t even aware there were any because the client I use (Voyager) doesn’t have them.

I get this is a joke, but speed limits shouldn’t be set by politicians (which I’m hearing apparently is/was a thing?). Politicians have a role to play in getting regulations standards re-written by people who understand the decades of research on this.

Speeding is mostly a design issue, but I still expect people actually follow the rules.

Strong Towns, NotJustBikes, City Beautiful, Practical Engineering, among others have made great videos on this topic.

A lot of people justify speeding, and it’s kinda dumb, if you ask me.

Just because you “feel” it’s safe, doesn’t mean it actually is.

Plus, there’s a fantastic way to reduce road deaths, just have fewer cars, switch to public transport, but that takes a long time to implement if the political will doesn’t exist.

Engineers should absolutely include traffic calming features to get people to naturally slow down, but everyone should drive the limit.

Speed kills, kinetic energy is not linear.

Cars are tonnes of metal hurtling down the road. Thousands upon thousands die every year, and since the increased prevalence of massive US style trucks fatalities have RISEN, undoing decades of progress. (Both in the US, and elsewhere)

People driving 20 over the limit are arseholes (or have been influenced by car centric infrastructure and culture). Change my mind.

Speeding is never okay. Just that lots of people have convinced themselves it’s no big deal.

Y’all are really justifying some shitty behaviour. Yeah, I get it, streets are designed shittily, and feels like it’s fine to speed (especially, from what I can see, in the US), but this doesn’t absolve you from doing the right thing.

Like, if it were 5 (km/h) over, I could perhaps forgive you. But downvoting me for suggesting 20 mph over is arsehole behaviour? You don’t deserve a licence.

Fuck these carbrains putting their feelings over completely savable lives.

USA is cooked (and Australia, somewhat cooked, since people are buying ridiculously sized cars here too).

Don’t speed, you fuckwits. Better yet, take public transport if you live in a city with cilivised transportation (obviously, not your fault if it doesn’t exist).

I like using “gentle people”.

Would the gentle person care for some more wine?
