I've been using Organic Maps (from F-Droid) and it has a "Keep the screen on" option in the settings. That said, I've never had the screen dim while navigating to a destination. The setting I mentioned prevents timeout when you've got the map open but not on route somewhere.

Funny how I even typed December and it didn't click in my head it was a different season.

Writing when tired isn't a recipe for well thought comments evidently.

I was curious about what happens to the roads at these temperatures and turns out, they melt.

Oddly, this article seems to say last December nearly tipped 50, so not really sure what to believe about record setting. Either way, it's not good.

This is a contributing factor to why we transitioned from 'global warming' to 'climate change'. It isn't about getting hotter - it's about how the effects will be wildly inconsistent across the globe, both in terms of geographic region and severity.

I didn't format my comment to show it was a quote from Ron Johnson as Jerboa crashes time to time when adding a link to text, and I ignored formatting altogether the third time I tried to make the comment. I've edited it to include what should have been there in the first place.

My client crashed twice when trying to add a link in to my comment, and then I'm frustration I neglected to add it when it when I wrote it the third time. I have edited the comment to reflect the fact that it's a direct quote from a climate denying senator. Apologies.

You are right and I agree with you. I quickly wrote that comment and I doing so failed to get across my sarcastic quoting of Republican senator Ron Johnson. I have edited the comment with the appropriate correction.

If you take a look at geologic time, we’ve had huge climate swings... I think it's far more likely that it's just sunspot activity, or something just in the geologic eons of time where we have changes in the climate.

I'm not sure if the last line is condemning bus drivers specifically or individual drivers in general, but either way, it's a shame so many families have lost loved ones to these accidents.

Got to love the dog whistle here:

“To my right is what we call Trump wall. This was wall that was built under President Trump,” said Paul Perez, the president of the Border Patrol union. “To my left, we have what we call Kamala wall. It’s just sitting there doing nothing, lying down.”

Said as if both are doing their jobs; the man standing strong, and the woman on her back like she belongs.

Yet another Trump appointee swinging her undeserved gavel to keep hundreds of millions in the pockets of big business.

An umbrella arbitration clause like this, if it were argued at court, surely would only be held up for cases related to Disney+. At least one would hope. Having such an agreement cover entirely separate arms of a company is ridiculous.

That 'CO2 is plant food' argument always cracks me up. Like, water is good for people yes, but I'll still die if you shove a thousand gallons down my throat.

If this man doesn't have a need for an input matrix, I don't know who would.

The saxophone battle that unfurled on the New York City subway ten years ago comes to mind.

The burger turned ten years old back in 2019. Sadly, it looks like the live stream is no more, and perhaps neither is the hostel that was the burgers home.

Does your name happen to be David?

Maybe if we didn't make city streets as wide as highways, people wouldn't drive so fast. I feel like it's obvious that people will drive faster between painted lines than if those lines were walls. Even lining a street with trees lowers speeds. An indirect side effect would be a drop in ticket revenue, but surely the police department would prefer safety over money.

The fact the Coast Guard spent four million dollars per recruit on a NASCAR campaign is unreal. Yet after they've served they'll be lucky to get a free massage.

What a prime example of how climate disasters will not be equal or evenly distributed.

A nation that puts out less than 3 tonnes of CO2 emissions per capita gets devastated while the powers that be in a nation outputting five times the emissions per capita sit and twiddle their thumbs, parroting whataboutisms.
