Design our streets to be narrow and winding

And with separate, protected walking and cycling infrastructure.

Back to school kevlar sales! Keep your child safe and fashionable!

But more seriously, it is so past time to actually regulate trucks and SUVs. We are here because congress left a "light truck" loophole in their legislation decades ago and never closed it. No other country in the world uses almost exclusively gas-guzzling trucks and SUVs instead of smaller, more efficient cars to the extreme extent we do.

This is the second one in like… 2 months?? But much like gun control, car control is not an option in this country apparently.

Oh he can talk all he wants. He just can't be elected, lol.

She's literally probably just trying to squeeze a few more dollars out of anyone she can on her way out the door. She's only ever been about the money she can generate from bribes. Oops, I mean lobbying.

You know what would slow it down a lot? Legislating that anything created with data sets using publicly available data cannot be copyrighted or trademarked. And while we're at it, lets create a bill of privacy rights for people.

I mean… they shouldn’t be supporting Xitter anyway. And encouraging people to use IG and FB is just as bad basically.

Ideally they should run their own Mastodon instance and provide announcements and support there.

Foundation has been interesting so far and very pretty. For All Mankind is amazing.

The US can be a pretty boggling place to try and bike or walk, yes.

He's talking about some pretty cool bike infrastructure that they're at least introducing in ABQ that is pretty sweet compared to when I grew up there in the 80s though. I remember biking down Lead or Lomas in the mornings with no bike lane at all and rush hour traffic trying to get around me non-stop, lol. I remember I felt slightly safer on Lomas even though it was 50mph+ traffic just because the lanes were really wide.

Cool! I didn't think of that, but it would do the trick, you're right.

(I was hoping for it to be in the popup list of search engines, I guess.)

You mean DDG is better for programming or Brave Search is? I'm finding a lot more useful stuff via Brave for whatever reason currently.

(I guess results may vary though if that's not the case for you!)

I mean… I've been using Firefox since Google silo'd all log-ins together.

On the other hand, search.brave.com is freaking incredible. It's so much better than Google, Bing or DDG at this point, it's shocking. I switched a couple weeks ago and it's surreal to see so many usable, useful results on the first page again.
