You don't need to widen roads for that. In fact, it might be the worst option due to induced demand. For the curious, see:

More Lanes are (Still) a Bad Thing

The quote specifically mentions "widen any roads". I haven't read Charlottesville plans, but it could have included other options like public transport and bike infrastructure.

Guess it is time to fill in that niche, 😉 😉

"I'm 91 years old, 92 next month. My trike lets me exercise my heart, lungs, and legs while having fun…Never planned to live this long, don't know how to act but me and my trike have fun every day."

"We bought one for my husband (disabled Veteran)…he can't walk but maybe 100 steps. OMG!! It only took me 35 years to find something we could do together!!!…We kid about 'we got TRIKES' and we're 'GOIN RIDIEN!!' I love my husband and am Sooo happy to ride with him!!!"

Let your city know, contact your council, tell your experience, and ask for protected bike lanes :)

Train* when available.

Bring a bike with you and you can basically go anywhere on your trip

It sounds like your city does not prioritize trains at all

train was PACKED and spent 10m at every stop

add more wagons or increase frequency for example

then they hit a car

intersections with car traffic are always a problem and they should be minimized

train was every 10. Some days every 30, some days 2 in a row

i can bet the tracks share the same space with regular roads and signaling does not prioritize public transit, which usually leads to this sort of inconsistent schedule

that didn’t make it any easier

that's usually the excuse used to cut funding to public transit instead of the other way around: "see it doesnt work, why waste money on it". They never mention how it's been underfunded for decades, how cars are always prioritized, and the success cases seen all around the world where it works properly

does the train increase commerce in an area?

stations are usually prime real state for commerce and housing due to all the foot traffic it brings. Just look at stations in Japan, they are basically big shopping malls, without all the unnecessary parking, and high towers all around for housing

Just chill in the cabin with some chicken soup as much as needed, and comeback to your happily rambles whenever you feel like it. Btw, have you finished God of War by now?

How big is that? 100 m²?

I thought you needed one more lane, so we approved $600 million to fund highway widening while public transport continues underfunded:

This battlefield approach is likely to become a lasting part of Russian military practice, making it relevant for those preparing to counter Russian aggression

Shows like HarmonQuest? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I just started watching it after seeing someone comment about it, and I really like it, but the show is so short that I'll probably be done by the end of the week

Does anyone have any other recommendations?

I have never actually played any ttrpg, but I got the itch now and I have to scratch it while I look for groups to actually play it

 

I forgot to feed a prisoner recently, which led to them going on berserk mode, so I'm trying to avoid more trouble. Is it possible to give a prisoner something for chemical hunger?

I had a pawn go to a random cell to smoke some smokeleafs, but I'm unable to figure out how to make them pick up any chemicals to drop to a prisoner

No mods, all DLCs

 

I'm only able to haul them to a shelf, where they keep decaying until they become a skeleton

I just had two man eating raccoons killed, one by a shot, another by a trap

I was able to butcher the one that was shot , got the leather and meat from it. Butcher table has bill to butcher forever

But the other one I can't do anything with it

I have another dozen skeletons on my shelves that might have had the same problem

no mods enable, just base games and all dlcs

First time playing this, so I'm still learning the ropes

 

I was planning a trip to the USA to visit their parks, which seem to be amazing, but due to recent daily shenanigans involving immigrants, I'll have to post pone the visit

With that in mind, I'm looking for alternatives, any recommendations? I have 30 days and I'd prefer to be limited to 1 airplane ticket if visiting more than one park in this period. Multiple train connections or other transport alternatives are fine

 

Does anyone know if anything changed with the new tab settings?

I used to have this custom userContent.css to add more columns to topSites described below, but it is no longer working after I updated :/

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1430289

folder named "chrome" and file named "userContent.css" are still there

@-moz-document url(about:home), url(about:newtab) {
  @media (min-width: 1800px) {
    .ds-outer-wrapper-breakpoint-override main {
      width: 1700px !important;
    }
  }
}

edit: If anyone has any suggestions to add more columns to topSites, let me know edit2: solved

 

Does anyone know how to make a dark background/toolbar for the pdf viewer?

The only answer I found was on reddit, but it was deleted

I dont remember how I did it with Firefox. pdfjs.viewerCssTheme no longer works
