Yes cyclist often break the law, but you seriously underestimate how often cars refuse priority to pedestrians, park illegally, overtake cyclist too near, or over speed…

Americans believe a single city (New York) represents 30% of the American population?

Possibly very big at the time. Over the course of the last century we have grown a lot and the average height is much higher because we’re eating much more. I suppose feet size have also increased.

Schumer is not on the left

What do thé showers look like?

Better building and urbanism should be the preferred solution. And solar panels can and should be installed even without AC

Any energy from solar going to AC means solar energy not going to the rest of the house.

Unlike Kamala and Clinton she actually believes in something, and not just the Dems’ very rich corporate donors.

look at Zohran Mamdani in New York. He’s a Muslim, foreign born, socialist. Plenty of things that by the same logic would make him loose. But he won the primary and odds are he’ll Winn the mayor position.

I saw a toot of a similar vein a couple months ago and it motivated me to start learning to draw. I’m still pretty bad at doing anything beyond stick figures but it’s fun

Mamdani isn’t born in the US

They use GPU based enclaves. They have a white paper available. I just seemed it but they mention AMD and NVIDIA enclaves.

They can’t get your username from your phone number (but they can b’get your phone number from your username)

This movie had me hooked its entire length

Unblock signal first?

Signal also has been a leader when it comes to encryption and metadata protection. Their cryptographic protocols are public domain and are the gold standard for private messaging from pretty much every perspective other than decentralisation. (it’s still centralised)

Signal is American but run by a non profit so it can’t be sold and is open source under GPL3 without a CLA from what I can see so it’s unlikely they would ever go closed source.

I have two friends who have been a couple for 2 years and stiil both had each other’s contacts as “name Japanese” because they met in a Japanese class.

Organic maps (and now comaps) have a much better rendering engine. It’s much faster, while also being much more legible. It’s routing engine is also faster.

OsmAnd does have the upper hand when it wcomes to features though. I have both and use OsmaAnd when I need to export a route to GPX or see relief.
