  • How is this not already a thing? The pavement is not the street, don’t put your personal vehicle on it I mean is it that difficult?

    I’m in Canada, and my municipality has one protected bike lane that is buffered by bollards and a curb.

    Yet, I can’t tell you how many times some douchebag with an oversized pickup truck will bypass those protections so that they can fit into the parking spot that runs beside this bike lane (while blocking the bike lane in doing so).

    If laws and enforcement aren’t working to deter this kind of behaviour, give pedestrians and cyclists a legally protected right to bump, scratch and/or smash the side of these vehicles in passing. And I’ll leave this for your entertainment.
















  • My idrive plan went from just over $100 to $250.

    I created another account, paid for another year at a promotional price, and then deleted my old account.

    I will eventually have to come up with a more sustainable cloud/off site backup now that i need more than just a few TB.

    Since this is really my “last resort” backup, I’m not too concerned, as anything that would require me to actually restore from this backup set would likely be catastrophic in a life-ending way.
