As Boulder police commander Darren Fladung told Denver’s 9News, “I appreciate the fact that it’s drawing attention to the fact that we’d like people to slow down and not be on their phones, but there’s probably, again, a few more appropriate ways about getting that message out.”

Then why aren’t you already doing those more appropriate things?

“plan your arrival time, not departure time”

My arrival time is the time I have to be at work without getting fired.

I wonder if you could improve that system by creating localised star sector governments, and divesting the currently centralized power to them?

Canadians have never voted a government in in my lifetime, we just vote the last government out.

On the upside, municipal politics is where you are likely to see the most impact to your daily life, and those guys aren’t in parties outside major cities, and even the major city parties don’t aligin with the normal 2.5 flavours of prov/fed politics.

Do they want to get to places on those cars, or do they want to get to places and cars are the only (or only practical) way?

No set fine, it’s a court appearance; according to the cop who pulled me over.

Also the wealth hording.

One of my coworkers believes bicycles cause car congestion. All car congestion, even the stuff on highways.

A cheetah can run up to 95kph 120kph.

So the joke is the car is still in motion.

I didn’t realize soft throttling is cruise control.

Why would you be using cruise control around parked cars?

I think might be a little more too this.

Mississauga is pretty clear one two things: grass no longer than 20cm and a ban on 25 specific nuisance weeds.

So just don’t grow grass or those 25 weeds?

Just paint a yellow line and call it a day.

I-464 is entirely in Virginia (I don’t know what the of shields mean to look them up.

Virginia brought in hands free 1 Jan 2021, so this photo could be 31 Dec 2020, but I don’t think Virginia is warm enough to dress like that in Jan.

Edit: there are a fucking lot of states without hands free laws - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictions_on_cell_phone_use_while_driving_in_the_United_States

Like the perception that you need a nice car is crazy.

Back in my army days I was told my beat up Chevy Malibu was unbecoming of an officer and I needed to buy a new car. So I just started biking and running to work instead.

In hindsight that shaped how I consider transit today, so I guess it ended up benifiting me pretty well in the long term.
