you’d be utterly fucked if you had a burst pipe and he wasn’t allowed to drive in the city.
Who said anything about not being allowed to drive? He can drive wherever he likes; I’m just saying we shouldn’t fuck up the street building the parking spaces. Where he parks the thing should be his own problem (or his client’s landlord’s problem, as the case may be), not imposed on the public.
It may seem like I’m nitpicking, but that distinction is really important. There is an oddly pervasive issue in urbanism debates where the car-brains and the NIMBYs make a habit of trying to frame the issues precisely ass-backwards. For example, you suggest abolishing restrictions on zoning – literally removing government regulations – and they call you a “big government communist.” Or you talk about adding extra ways to get around by improving bike and ped infrastructure, and they accuse you of trying to take away their freedom to drive.
Or, as in this case, you talk about simply not bending over backwards to make special extra accommodations for cars (i.e. not spending public resources – both money and space – to build parking spaces), and it gets misconstrued as proposing banning driving. I’m not saying you’re a car-brain or a NIMBY, but I’m just saying it’s apparently real easy for people to slip into that Bizarro-World mindset and it needs to be called out when it happens.

Aldi’s deal is more about getting people to return carts all the way to the front entrance so that they don’t have to pay employees to retrieve them from the corrals.
Of course, with their parking lots being small to begin with, I’m not so sure it’d make much of a difference (see also: Lidl, with the same size parking lot but no 25¢ locking carts).
Not an OS expert but if you move it, the computer knows where it goes any can pause and read/writes and utilize RAM for it’s in-use version.
It’s more like it doesn’t actually go anywhere on-disk; only the tag in the filesystem pointing to it changes. I’m pretty sure once the program has an open file handle, it doesn’t care about the path anymore anyway.
I originally posted this on the other site back when I took the picture, and it resulted in a lot of confused comments, especially from Americans, eventually getting removed by overzealous mods. Either way, I promise you that this date does not exist, and has never existed.
In general, individuals blocking other users for [insert toxic misbehavior] is bad. The problem isn’t that one user in particular is seeing it; the problem is that it exists at all and erodes the quality of the whole network.
Take trolling, for instance: if you just block the troll, all you’re doing is giving them carte-blanche to keep spreading misinformation/shit-talking you/whatever without you knowing about it. Everybody else can still see it, though, which means they could still be doing damage to your reputation and you’d just appear to acquiesce to it.
People engaging in bad behavior need to be banned by the mods, not just blocked by individual users.
I should start paying attention to the props used on Star Trek when the shows are new so that I can buy something I like when they’re still sold new, instead of searching around for them after-the-fact.
(I bought a pair of Nike sneakers off Ebay for cosplay a few months ago. Luckily they weren’t expensive, but they were used and I had to settle for ones a half-size larger than what actually fits me.)
I appreciate the heads up. That price tag, though, just makes me appreciate the practicality of my “Starfleet athletic wear” cosplay even more. (FYI, it’s pretty awesome to be able to show up at a hot summertime convention wearing a T-shirt, jogging pants and sneakers and still have it “count” as cosplay. Way better than, say, TWOK or later-season DS9 uniforms, let alone the nonsense crazy people from other fandoms wear in the heat.)
Joke’s on you, rest of the world: your 2440mm x 1220mm x 13mm sheet goods, for example, are just 4’ x 8’ x 1/2" in disguise. Ditto for a lot of building materials, as well as standardized parts for other industries (like the pin pitch of electronics connectors etc.) that were really U.S. standards first that everybody else then got stuck with.
So underrated that I’ve barely ever heard it before and had to go look it up to know what you were talking about. (I would’ve said “literally never heard it before,” but the riff in the chorus is ever so slightly familiar.)
Yes, in the sense that I’d expect it to use less power than in incandescent when lit and no more than a few watts when “off,” but I figure any kind of LED I could put in it and any sort of controller short of shoving in a full-blown Raspberry Pi 5 would be able to manage that.
