I’ve had a few - different brands - all trash.

Back when they were used by companies, in the mid 2000s I remember some decent (CD) ones at work.

If i wanted one now i’d get an internal full size one and put it in a caddy.

‘Tied’ by identity, owner owns vehicle (with license) , owner pays vehicle tax and or road tax and income tax.

You could , say, tax vehicles by weight or size. Each extra metre, each extra kilogram, tax goes up, a lot.

Then , if the owner makes commercial income from activity deemed to depend on haulage, and is due to pay income/corporation tax, then they could be allowed to a claim a vehicle tax deduction. If they don’t make (or won’t declare to tax authority) the commercial income, then there’s nothing to deduct from, so they pay the whole vehicle tax - or lose their vehicle/license.

If the owner wants to commit tax fraud by misdeclaring income, then the tax enforcement regime is already in place.

not a perfect system i’m sure , but its a possible mechanism using tax and licensing authorities that maybe already exist in many countries.

Vehicles and drivers are all separately licensed and taxed anyway - so most of the infrastructure is there.

For commercial use - tie it into the owners tax return.

Disabled people get a blue badge anyway to get the parking spaces.

Interesting, but yes I.'d think (hope) each bus death. or injury changes the driver and bus operating organisation, and municipality in some way. Even if it was the pedestrians ‘fault’, the bus can probably do things to reduce the risk.

This research should ideally start with a random/representative sample of people exposed to a measurable level of bus death risk.

Those are balls.

This close, they always look like landscape. But nope, you’re looking at balls.

Why’d they build those useless blobby green barriers everywhere in the top right? They should clearly have added another lane or two to the red route.

Some woke Joni Mitchell communist plot.

Thanks!

How does one open the links in the youtube description? They all seem curtailed. I just need to see the spreadsheet or a tldw.

I assume in the UK it’s mostly It’s land acquisition costs, stemming from a long lasting guillotine shortage. And also probably fragmenting the projects into 50 hierarchical contract layers that with each party taking its dumb “risk-adjusted” rate of return.

3 per 12h.

Anyone spamming more than that can create their own, “spam stupid questions” community.

Not being asleep any more. Like Bill and Ted after they meet Woke-rates.

I’d have to guess they have a better distribution of good guy with gun vs bad guy with gun?

Or just fewer bad guys? or less-bad guys?

I know yanks hate decimal and stuff because of how hard the mental arithmetic is, but it’s half of the more significant digit. I guess and they wanted more precision than 10s, but don’t see the need for 1s, so they split it in half or the equipment is not capable of more precision.

TBH - I don’t know what a dungaree fezundheit is anyway, but I’d imagine 5F is way spurious accuracy already for a domestic oven. I reckon you’d need an industrial or scientific kiln for that type of accuracy - so it’s probably more a psychology / user interface thing. In which case the answer is, ‘because enough customers are happy enough with it as it is.’

There’s a boot key press combination to interrupt normal start up and select an alternative boot medium. Usually things like f12, f1, del, or esc, mashed at the right time after power-on.

For locked down devices like modern smartphones and probably games consoles etc, it’s a lot more involved, and it may be next to impossible to boot a different OS, but there’s often a combo to get at least into a factory reset boot menu.

Edit: lookinto ‘system-rescue-cd’ or ‘knoppix’ which are pretty useful USBs to have around lots of tools to try to mount and recover disks and move data . ‘clonezilla’ can also be useful to create a disk image before you try any risky steps.

Beware Modern windows likes to encrypt which might impede those tools. I’ve seen cases where the user doesn’t know (claims to never have been told!) the decryption key. In those cases recovery may be hard/complex in some scenarios.

But a proper backup system (3-2-1 , fairly often) for important data is a far better way to prepare for “shit”. And “the cloud is not a complete backup system” is not a bad a general rule.

You don’t download or install aur itself. It’s a repository of packages.

Helper programs like paru make it easier for you to connect to, search, download, build and update packages from the repo.

You can also use other methods, for example ‘git’ to clone the source for the package and build it yourself, but the helper programs should also help fetch dependencies.

As with everything in arch, the wiki is recommended reading: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_helpers https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository

Angua without the i. I was going to mention her if no one else did.

Maybe supports your point though as IIRC she was sort of forced into the watch by an affirmative action campaign from the city. I think there were some sexist attitudes from the male coppers.

Slightly tangential but there was a teenage fantasy series by David Eddings featuring some sorcerers who were basically clarting about as wolves half the time, one of the main characters, Polgara was i think effectively a werewolf, but it was by choice rather than forced by the moon.

Heh, this is interesting, i had no idea male werewolves went back as far as Gilgamesh. https://strangehorizons.com/wordpress/non-fiction/although-male-werewolves-have-appeared-in-fiction-since-the-very-beginning-female-werewolves-are-relatively-new-literary-monsters-so-where-do-these-female-werewolves-come-from-and-what-baggage-do-t/

Buy a phone that lineage os support then. Way more options than pixels. Pretty cheap used, you just have to accept one from a few years ago. and make sure that any required bootloader unlock from oem can still be done.
