Niagara, nice simple clean

I used to ride a bike every day for 15 years, I’m currently a car driver.

The big problem is when design desisions are made without considering all users.

For example where I used to live they divided the pavment into two, one side for pedestrians one for bikes. The only thing making this divide was a line of paint. This meant that you had to dodge pedestrians who didn’t like the bikes encroaching on their area whilst also having to deal with crossing junctions.

If you stuck to the road in the same area you could get a much higher speed as you didn’t have to deal with obsticals. The big problem was now in the eyes of the car drivers you weren’t supposed to be on the road as you had your own lane on the pavement.

Similarly, in a nearby area they decided to try and take a lane away from the cars to make a cycle lane. The issue being they ignored the fact that most people needed to take a turn that crossed the lanes, the only way to do that was to leave the cycle lane and join the cars, but again you have your own lane and the car drivers don’t think you’re allowed in theirs anymore and you’ve made their traffic worse.

This kind of infrastructure led to so many negative encounters for me that I gave up riding all together.

The problem tends to be that these kinds of infrastructure changes are only done as token gestures and are rarely well thought out. When these kinds of changes are done well it can be fantastic but those occurrences are rare so everyone defaults to the defeatist stance of the changes will cause more problems than they solve.

It’s a catch 22, you need to build new infrastructure that is good and works, to stop people being against it but it can’t be built because people only know the bad examples that have been built in the past.

The cool math trick I know of is using your other hand to count groups of 12, 5 fingers times 12 knuckles is 60.

Another vote for immich here, works great and let’s me shade albums with other accounts on my server.

There was some talk awhile back about openning up the TLDs to allow things like “dot”

I would love http://dot.dot/

I reckon we could get 4 seasons into a Terran Empire based series before the MAGAs figure out they’re being made fun of.

Holding power + volume down brings up the power menu Pressing power + volume down takes a screenshot

Though other comments point out that there isn’t any consistency between manufacturers

As others have said Samsung has been like this for a while so they may be copying it from there.

If its the same as Samsung, holding power + volume down should bring up the power menu.

I actually like the button being mappable to something else, gives me more options, I do think they should have the default be the old behaviour though, maybe with a popup on the first activation to tell you that you can change it.

I have mine set to Bixby so I can quickly set timers and reminders without needing the always on voice detection, double press opens camera.

More options and customisation possibilities is always better, but using it to force another peoduct is scummy :(

Is it the Beck sample from Windows ME: https://archive.org/details/beck_20240419

Edit:

If you scroll down the page there are links to other Windows versions’ music sample packs, might be worth browsing around.

But in the case of the ones in the pic, fire hazzard

Black & White film was usually cheaper to buy and to process, it’s also easier to process yourself at home so was still quite common even into the late 90s.

In my family color photos were a rarity until my dad got a digital camera because it was easier for him to process the b&w film in a home darkroom.

Just tried to check, looks like it’s not in the Play store anymore ☹️

Guess next time I get a new phone the game will end

I have a version installed that allows a larger grid, this play through is over 5 years old.

So be a dick and get eaten then :(

I rent so I don’t own my house.

Does this mean i can be an absolute dick and invite them in anyway knowing they won’t be able to enter. Could I literally stand at door and mock them. “Can the big bad vampire not enter, aww, what a shame.”

Which is wrong, all citizens should be equal no exceptions.

Naturalized citizens should be treated no differently to any other citizens, we don’t need or want different classes of citizens.

Yes but the film has a one-way mirror effect and most people don’t put 2 and 2 together and think the window is opaque when is not.

I did this at my last House and it was fantastic.

Just need to remember that once it’s dark outside the reflective side “switches” and everyone can see clearly into the house.
