No case yet, I was given a warning not charged.

I’ll still reach out, they’re likely tied into the right people.

Is still vehicle, but makes less traffic, takes less space, and requires less signalisation.

Specifically I was on a two lane road on front of a Tim Hortons. Because where else would a cop be hanging out.

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

E-bike then 🤣

I am more than happy to pay road tax by fourth power law axle weight on all my bicycles.

Sure, but dead plant parts should be outside your house when decomposing. Same with food waste. Economy of scale still exists with municipal composting.

No need to accept mold in your house.

A huge part of cities (I’d argue the biggest part) is cleanliness and hygiene. Cities need to consolidate and remove their waste to avoid illness and outbreaks. There is also an economy of scale, a municipal composting station can break down more things, and more quickly, than everyone doing it at home (not that they can’t or shouldn’t if they want to).

The best way to keep decomposers out of your house is to move the things they want to decompose OUT of your house. This is way to much for an individual to manage in tight quarters, so we fall back on a city’s economy of scale.

Basically, a city needs a systematic approach to decomposition, it’s impractical and unhygienic to be doing so on a small scale within a city (the rules are certain different for something more rural or homestead-y)

At the same time it could become unreasonable for individuals to research all the local ordinances they may encounter in a 20 mile trip.

It is extremely reasonable. Drivers are always responsible to learn the laws of places they drive. Are you only required to follow the law of your plate’s state/province? Is turning right on red in NYC okay if you are plated outside the city?

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

Pretty sure Wales changed speed limits overnight, not the physical design of every road.

1. it is more impressive due to gender gap and gender inequality indexes on Ghana.

2. It makes her a positive role model for women in Ghana and other countries.

3. It’s more flavour to the story.

An electric car uses 10-20x more batteries than a PEV, the downside is cars, not EVs.

Me proofread good.

Road salt is really only effect to around -10°C anyways. Having lived places that get some fairly brutal winters, salt isn’t even that effective anyways.

Grit/sand mixtures tend to be much more effective regardless of temperature. Winter tires should be mandatory in places that require them (I’ve seen chains allowed instead of winters in some areas, but I know little about them). Maintaining some snowpack instead of a pavement clear can reduce the freeze/thaw amplification effect of pavement and other road surfaces (though that requires temps consistently below 0°).

Anyways, there are oodles of effective snow and ice clearing and management techniques that don’t require salt.

Yeah, as other’s have pointed out, I’m really underestimating the issues of the electoral college in the USA.

While I’m used to the issues of FPTP, I can’t pretend to understand the basic premise behind the electoral college.

Independents can get elected and new parties can arrise in FPTP, despite being more difficult than some other systems; so my guess is that I’m wildly underestimatong the fuckery that is the electoral college.

It’s doesn’t mean anything because that’s what everyone thinks the choices are.

If someone other than D or R started to get some serious traction, you could see a snowball over 8-12 years.

Part of it is that windows and doors are way more efficient now.
