Fully closing some streets to vehicle traffic also helps. It not only reduces collisions but also increases vehicle throughput.

The change in Vancouver is specifically aimed at minor streets though, where other traffic calming measures are usually already in place. And the reduced speed is a climate measure more than a safety measure.

I’m waiting for the news that most of the fires are out… due to extreme flooding.

Climate change hasn’t been kind to Manitoba.

Hardships not seen in generations. I saw the oil crisis in the 70s and my grandparents were born in the great depression, fought in WWII and went through food rations.

Seems like the boomers just got an unusual reprieve from hardships that have otherwise been seen by pretty much every generation.

“Eventually the world will become uninhabitable and the ceasefire will hold.”

The complaint itself is disheartening, but isn’t necessarily about it being an indigenous flag; if the strata has a rule against hanging flags from balconies, it could just be that the strata didn’t know about the flag law, and someone didn’t like it in general (and would have complained no matter what flag it was).

Personally, I think it would be great to give this particular flag the same protections as a civic flag.

Isn’t a party just a coordinated mass candidacy?

I presume they mean in a single riding, but still….

I see most kids under 10 wearing a bicycle helmet. Of course, kids under 10 shouldn’t be riding these, as they’re designed to carry heavier loads.

Anyone 16 or older? It grabs my attention if they ARE wearing a helmet.

If nothing else pans out in Vancouver, the YWCA isn’t bad.

If AI literacy requires an individual to be able to clearly explain how AI technologies work… then even data scientists are AI illiterate.

These four North Koreans remain at large, and the ‘Rewards for Justice’ program has announced $5,000,0000 in rewards for credible information about their current location.

Wow… so PRK can make just as much by saying “here they are, at an office in Pyongyang!” as they made via this entire 5-year scheme.

…for situations where people are providing service above and beyond what you’re already paying for through other means.

For me, this requires physical interaction between me and the person. If I can hand them a tip, it will be 10-15%, just like in the 90s.

If I’m in Starbucks and when I order something a prompt comes up on the machine asking how much I’d like to tip, it will always be 0 unless I’m asking staff to come deliver my order to me outside instead of picking it up myself. They should already be being paid a fair wage for the work they do behind the counter, and if I find out they aren’t, I’ll take my business elsewhere.

Bridge mode disables the router in the modem; if you have an admin account on the modem you should be able to enable it yourself; otherwise you need to get your ISP to enable it. It will turn off all the firewall and WiFi features on the modem.

You need to use their modem quite often, but you don’t need to use their router. They’re usually “all in one” modem/router things these days, but they’re legally required to provide you with a modem in bridge mode if you ask — at that point, an Ethernet cable attached to their modem is effectively attached to the Internet, and you can put your own hardware inside (firewall, Wifi router, etc.).

While you need to connect to their IP gateway, you don’t need to use their DNS services or anything but their IP gateway service.

It doesn’t really matter… the data is managed by a third party in another country. I have no real control over who gets access to it, intentionally or otherwise. Better that the data just doesn’t exist in the first place.

Well yeah. That’s what their tech does. And it’s why I have my ISP’s WiFi offering disabled and the antennas removed and run their router in bridged mode, hooked up to equipment I own that doesn’t call out to the Internet.

I knew I’d have male pattern baldness and early grey hair when I was a kid because I looked just like my grandfather.

So when I was in my 20s, I went from luscious wavy hair to a set of clippers.

Short hair is awesome. Wish I’d done it earlier. I don’t have to do anything with it other than keep it short, and as the balding progressed, it just made me look more manly.

My mother goes by mum or grannie, but my wife goes my mom, pronounced “mum”.

That’s because “mom” is a shortening of “mother” which is what she is, but “mum” is a shortening of “ma’am” which is a shortening of “madame” which means “my lady” and is what you call someone of a higher social class than you. And she wanted to get as far away from class hierarchy in the house as possible.

They’re both generally “my mother” when spoken of in the third person by me or my kids.

I regularly (weekly) run 25k runs. If I had milk afterwards, sure, I’d retain that fluid for longer, but I’d get all congested and start seeing spots in front of my eyes. I know this because I’ve involuntarily done it.

What works best is small sips of water every 2k or so after 10k, followed by a glass of water when I’m done to flush my system, followed by water with trace amounts of sugar, sodium and potassium added.

Binding water up in your stomach is totally useless for maintaining electrolyte and water levels in the body, even though it’s technically (temporarily) increasing fluid uptake.

I’ll second the SQL database here. Especially since most people who use a spreadsheet actually treat it as a database in the first place, and not as a way to lay out data in a 2D table.

But if a hierarchical table is really what’s desired, any visual database interface should do the trick.
