the stock weather app on your phone is fucking garbage. it takes raw model output and just splashes it out there even though it may be wildly inaccurate. please utilize your local national weather service office instead, where actual humans read and interpret these models for more accurate forecasts

the new chip bags you can’t open by pulling apart the top are like that because tearing the corner makes them harder to reseal, thus making chips go stale faster

Drivers: "We shouldn't be enforcing traffic laws! We should be doing other things to reduce driver violence!" "You mean like slow streets?" "No." "You mean like bike lanes?" "No." "You mean like transit and walkable neighborhoods?" "No." "You mean like charging for parking?" "Hell no."

Turns out that starting a new city from scratch is expensive. People love “small government” but don’t realize that small cities are expensive to run

Every single DOT or department of public works: "Please zipper merge it's the most efficient form of travel in construction zones." Every single driver on the road: "if you try to zipper merge I will fucking kill you. We will be a single file line for 5 miles, I don't care. I will crash into you"

Their operations are opaque to regulators. Just this month it was regulators learned that Waymo’s “autonomous” cars are being driven by people in the Philippines. When pressed at a senate hearing, Waymo could not or would not disclose how often that happens.

The judge said the driver has shown remorse, but I don't know how anyone can say that's true when she transferred her assets to LLC's and her son-in-law to avoid having to pay out in a civil case.

I've ridden a bike for many reasons during my life. These days it's mostly a mix of utility and escape. On weekdays I use my bike to get to and from work. On weekends I like to ride for many hours so my brain can be completely turned off and I can depart dystopia for a little while.
