Regular OSM doesn't have elevation data as well as many other info that mapy does provide.

I'm not blaming you but whose fault is that? Add that shit to OSM! Don't work for the assholes coasting off of FOSS labour of other people, subvert them!

Shout out to Lala at this point for just fucking quitting. It probably sucked major ass for her

Well you do elect the god king that can supercede all other powers at all times. I mean sometimes the god king doesn't even have the backing of half the people who showed up to vote, sure, but that doesn't mean you can't give him supreme powers over all, surely? We got this 250 year old rag that says he does if interpreted by people directly benefitting from that being the case and where would we be if we weren't beholden to 200 year dead slaveowners?

Just use OSM then what the hell

The event, titled Safeguarding Children’s Education, had been organised by the Natural Women’s Council and involved several notorious far-right campaigners.

My hitler particle detector just exploded

Through targeting parents and educators, the group claimed to want “to protect young minds from radical ideologies, social justice activism and political influence.”

Honestly every group that wants things "unpolitical" should be considered a cult at this point

there's quite the b-story to arhus12's comment about assigning cars the sentience of a horse

You're missing out. The chinese got the better dental plan, but true pros do it for the russians - their non denominational christmas partys are insane

you do this voluntarily?

The whole thing is pretty consistent if you're on board with "Working 80 hour weeks at the puppy kicking factory vs. starve to death" is a free choice. Friedman here isn't wrong about the quote, he's much more wrong on a much deeper level

It truly is incredible how the Wehrmacht, composed of nothing but unwillingly conscripted medics, truck drivers and radio operators, managed to take over so much of europe

It's funny. Here's some pointers off the current front page:

The FBI loses their shit over the Russian Admin of Z-Library taking a vacation

[Conceptualization] Easy - Failure: Tell them they can't have this. Make up a story about how giving away free things is making them afford lavish camping trimps in a bog. The people will rally around you.

Squee? Squee.

[Electrochemistry] Medium - Succes: Tell them about the knightly muscle mommy. The people will love to hear your thoughts. They all agree. They all want the muscle mommy knight, covered in the viscera of the enemy.

 

I cannot explain otherwise how so many people can nearly hit a vulnerable road user at like 20kph and then be mad when those people are quite irate they nearly just got hospitalized. Like yeah this'd be a nuisance if I was in a car, but I'm not.

Anyways give everyone not in a car a gun so they can retaliate. You may not hit the car, you may shoot periliously close, though.

 

They're like brutalism haters in that while I personally enjoy it, they're not wrong. There's very bad examples of it. But also anyone who gets into hating it a lot seems entirely incapable of producing any evidence for it being so. They're like truffle pigs for getting it wrong. What the Habitat 67 is to architectural aesthetics is "guy getting run over by a car cutting the corner standing still at a red light" is to active transport

 

New and wired: Using "dutch courage" to being overly optimistic about what you can carry on a bicycle and then just doing it

 

man this irish folk song seems weirdly current

 

Monster Energy Drink can turned human, Sam Pilgrim, is back again with a cool bicycle idea with literally 0 possible downside

Honestly love the guy. I'll excuse him being a public nuisance in any and all cases on account of how much he is the pantheonic ideal of dudes rock.

 

Frame made out of bamboo, pictured here is a My Boo that touts a partnership with a fair trade social program in Ghana to make the frames.

It's supposed to be more ecological, for obvious reasons. Weight on one is about 15kg, which is pretty good for a kitted out city bike.

I can't speak to longevity of this and whether it actually pans out vs. say, a steel bike that you keep welding back together, on account of these haven't really been around too long. It's held together via a composite glue made out of hemp and resin, so at least they're following through here I suppose.

Reviews I've read is that the ride quality is really nice, being stiff yet compliant in the ride cases as to not make it a boneshaker.

Price of these is, obviously, fairly high, these'd run you around 3000€ euros, I'd argue a comparable bike made out of traditional materials would run you maybe 800€ new. But I'd argue it's more a proof of concept.

 

I also sell to individual customers but you're gonna either have to be a pretty good runner to keep up or rather more dexterious so you can cycle next to me. Close passing cars and bike lane parkers get a nice squirt of mustard on the roof

 

Pictured here is the new spacecamper, usually a business for converting vans and such into campers, for cargo bikes.

I'm kind of undecided on this. It feels very convenient, unless you have an ultralight tent the weight of your bike, and your supplies and the tent and the bags and whatnot seems sort of the same as this stuff.

What do we think about the concept? Cool idea to incorporate your bicycle into your sleeping arrangement for trips or dumb playtoy?

 

I get why things like hot dogs or bratwurst are readily available as streetfood, it's logistically easy - but so is soup! You need like a pot, maybe two if you're getting crazy with it, maybe some bread rolls and that's it. It's cheap to make, cheap to buy, you could get hot soup on a cold day to warm you up or something like a gazpach or okroshka on a cold day to have a chilling meal. They're stupidly easy to make, all the ingredients basically cost zilch, very easy to adjust for all kinds of different dietary needs if you offer some sort of toppings optionally instead of throwing it all in there.

So why isn't there more soup? It's a style of meal you can find in basically any cuisine yet in all my travels I remember like two instances where I could just get a soup. What drives streetfood and why is soup shafted?

 

How hard is that shit?

I'd like a control panel of nicely haptic buttons for some of the Arma 3 side features, Lights on/off, Engine on/off, Chaff, Smokelauncher etc.

From what I gathered researching it's basically just building a box, soldering some switches to a micro controller and bob's your uncle. I feel 80% confident I can do those things - am I missing something? Anyone ever build their own "sim"-control-deck?
