That seems… overly simplistic. Have you actually seen this in action or are you giving your opinion on what should be done?

I live in a car-centric area, so I don't get to see much in the way of pedestrian centered infrastructure. Even pedestrian focused shopping areas and universities have roads for materials deliveries and maintenance equipment, although passenger vehicles are prohibited. Those places are as vulnerable to a vehicle attack as any other.

Gotcha, that's how it is around the university in my area too, to a degree. Not the removable bollards, but the restricted access to maintenance and delivery vehicles. There are barriers, but the infrastructure could be better.

One of the issues I run into at work is my own forgetfulness. When I'm working a high rise or warehouse, no matter how much I prepare and load up my rolling tool cart, I wind up having to go back to the van at least twice per job. I actually charge a facility surcharge when i have to work more than 100m from my van, just to account for the extra time I spend. I'm a locksmith, and there are so many specialty tools that i can't carry them all. This is especially true when I'm working a multistory residential building with no elevator. So up and down I go.

Anyway, it's a subject of interest for me. Something needs to be done, especially in city centers. It's just that most anti-car comments I see don't seem to take into consideration the logistics of materials and maintenance. Thanks for the nuanced explanation

If I had life-saving treatment denied, and was still physically capable, I'd likely be inspired to overcome adversity and leave the world a little better than I found it

A bit of a side point. Something I wonder about a lot, as a tradesman in the US, is implementation of restricted vehicle use in city centers while maintaining materials delivery and maintenance.

Since you support removing cars from city centers, how are these logistical challenges addressed? Genuine question, btw. I don't disagree with you, but I am curious. I'm not familiar with Spanish super blocks. How do they work? How are goods, materials, and equipment delivered? I'm lazy and want answers delivered like pizza

The parents in the article did pay attention to their kids, which is why the kid isn't dead. Now I'm not saying it's a good idea to take a toddler to a volcano, but I don't know all the details either. As another commentor said, parents aren't robots and can't watch their kids every second. Adding to that, toddlers are suicidal psychopaths with rubber bones. In the past an entire community looked out for kids and helped parents. Now we all live in our own silo and judge others instead of helping.

So yeah, if I see a kid on a leash, I just make sure I don't trip on the leash

The targeted egg cartons were sold in 25 Costco stores in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee beginning Nov. 22.

The "Organic Pasture Raised" eggs, sold in sets of 24, have a Universal Product Code (UPC) of 9661910680 with a use-by date of Jan 5, 2025.

Relevant info for those in a hurry

To be clear, "important" in this context is how much companies are affected financially by your death.

You could have a raft of friends and family that would be devastated by your passing, but if none of them have political or financial influence, it would purely depend on how overworked bored the police are and how easy it is to solve the case.

The reason for that is that is… The side left to me (where the rest of the couch is), is unobstructed and leaves enough room to place and operate the mouse there.

Suuuuuuuure buddy, your overly detailed explanation is very believable.

Spoilers for a 37 year old comic book

Not just banging his ex-girlfriend's daughter (who was a product of SA btw). Giving her a threesome with two simulacrums while he conducted experiments in a lab down the hall. And then gets confused when she gets mad that he's not giving her 100% of his attention during sex. And then gets a big ol sad when she leaves him for a doughy Batman. And then a bigger sad when he learns he gave all of his old friends cancer (he didn't actually, that was a conspiracy concocted by Adrian Veidt).

So he goes to Mars, because humans are confusing.

Sergeant Colon owed thirty years of happy marriage to the fact that Mrs. Colon worked all day and Sargent Colon worked all night. They communicated by means of notes. They had three grown-up children, all born, Vimes had assumed, as a result of extremely persuasive handwriting.

You're not wrong.

And full disclosure, I was paraphrasing Dr. Manhattan's monologue from chapter 4 of Watchmen. A kind of tongue-in-cheek homage, if you will

A common mistake. You're thinking of Steven Peter Jobs, known for his cable knit sweaters .

Steven Paul Jobs gained his fortune from his family's Dragon Foods company. While they made small gains in the industry through the nineties, that nearly lost everything through poor financial management during the dot com bust. Fortunately a strategic merger with the "Dee's" family snack brand bought them some time.

True success would come ironically, through an ad-lib moment on Brooklyn Nine Nine. After multiple takes, Terry Crews threw a snack bag of mixed nuts at Andy Samberg, yelling "That's what you get! Dragon-Dee's nuts, right across your face!"

Every once in a while I'll just make something for me, and it's so easy. GF baking is a pain, but i love my wife, so there it is

The picture is on my phone.

It is the picture of a bunch of sweaty dudes. They are in a dorm room, in 2002.

In twelve seconds time, I drop the phone to the floor at my feet, a clumsy old fool.

It’s already lying there, twelve seconds into the future.

Ten seconds now.

The phone is in my hand.

I found the picture in my photo archive, twenty-seven minutes ago.

It’s still there, twenty-seven minutes into the past, in a folder, unopened for the last two decades.

I’m still there, looking at it.

The picture is on my phone. Twelve boys have set up two televisions and Xboxes in a 10x12 room. Halo: Combat Evolved is paused.

Seven seconds now.

It’s December, 2024. I’m on the toilet.

It’s July, 2002. I’m in New Jersey, in my dorm room.

Four seconds, three.

I’m tired of sitting on the toilet now.

I stand up.

The phone falls to the floor at my feet.

I am going to take pictures of the stars. They are so far away. And their light takes so long to reach us… All we ever see of stars are their old photohraphs.

Clearly you've never had to bake for a gluten intolerant spouse with several other dietary restrictions
