I've been using lemons

I was super excited when I read the title. Then I opened the article.

What they're proposing is just a bus. A "bike bus" is something else entirely and what I was initially excited about.

Coal.

Came here to say Pantera

Amen

We're not going anywhere until you pay up!

I think centralized will be dominant. Centralized systems get the best efficiency which gives a better return to capitalists.

These people are not victims.

These are brave leaders, dedicated community members, and cunning warriors.

Christmas, 2005: Went to 7am mass with my family: parents two older brothers Steve and Cole and my sister. My oldest brother has a car so he drove my other brother and I. My sister ride with my parents.

On the way home, Steve (driver) began antagonizing Cole who was riding shotgun. It got bad enough that a few blocks from home, Cole opened the door of the moving car and jumped out.

We were moving slow enough that his exit was graceful. This pissed Steve off though because he wasn't done antagonizing I guess. Any way. He swerved the vehicle into Cole who was walking and hit him. Up in the hood he went.

All before gifts were opened :)

I believe, as an American, that America does everything the best. That we're exceptional. Biggest cars, most access to firearms, a for profit healthcare system. Nothing can compete anywhere... except Australian gambling.

I can see game when it's played. Kudos Australia

Nope, no measurable effect.

Yes, helmets are good. I wear one so that when I am thrown from the hood of a car, there is less of a chance of my head opening up when it hits the asphalt.

With that said, I think one of the concepts of this article is that enforcing helmet laws shifts the blame of people getting injured/killed by people operating motor vehicles onto the person on the bicycle. In reality, even with a helmet, being hit by a motor vehicle at 50mph is likely fatal and there are too many examples of drivers killing people on bicycles and then just driving away.

Helmet laws "protect" people on bicycles. Sinces there's a system to protect them, (helmets) the discussion of safety can end instead of continue on the dangers of road design and motor vehicles themselves. Essentially, the problem of people getting killed/injured on bicycles is a problem with motor vehicles, not helmets.

By fundamental architecture, I mean things like suburban development. Suburban development enforces commuting by personal motor vehicle which is far less efficient, from a pollution perspective, than public transit like intra-city rail. Another example could be planned obsolesence. This is part of the fundamental architecture which imposes a cycle of pollution into the replacement of consumer goods. These aren't individuals' choices, they're the fabric of western society.

It's systemic.

After a drunk driver going 60 mph in his 3,500-pound BMW hit and killed cyclist Eric Ng, the New York Times pointed out that he had been helmetless.

New community: Fuck the New York Times?

CRISPr is what you need.

It's what we all need.

I'd say that blaming individuals for fundamental architecture of our society is the essence of the problem we have.

Ubuntu!

I downloaded the installer in 2017 after MS forced an update to Windows 10 from 7. My laptop, from 2010, couldn't handle W10 and I heard Linux was good for old laptops. Not long after that I hopped around to other distros but Ubuntu was first.

Gross.
