    See, I watch Adam Something videos from the point of view that he’s not really talking about America. He’s talking about European politicians looking at terrible ideas from America and trying to replicate them.

    This is a pretty good example. America wouldn’t do this, exactly, but it’s a step towards our terrible bike infrastructure. The other poster had the right of it: in America, the sign wouldn’t be there at all, but the intersection would still be badly designed.




  • No way they’re replacing the bigger ones, like the Moskva. That one was built in a yard that’s now in Ukraine, and Russia hasn’t gotten that part back. Even if they did, Ukraine hadn’t really maintained it.

    It was also launched in 1979, and they haven’t built anything that size since the USSR fell.

    They’d have to rebuild the infrastructure needed to build the ship. These losses are irreplaceable.








  • In my state (Wisconsin), it’s considered a lemon if it’s no more than a year old and under warranty, and:

    • It has a serious defect the manufacturer or dealer(s) didn’t fix in four tries, or
    • It has one or more defects that prevent you from using it for 30 days or more (the 30 days need not be consecutive).

    Cybertruck probably won’t trigger the first clause, but I wonder about that second one.





  • Gmail and other big providers tend to consider new domains to be spam until they’ve proven otherwise. Can’t prove otherwise until you’ve been up and running for a while. Catch-22. The way out of that is to host with an existing provider for a few years.

    Does it cut down on spam? Perhaps. Does it favor existing providers like Gmail? Yes, definitely.

    Honestly, hosting email has long been difficult to setup, and all the more so if you don’t want your box to be a spam host within three seconds of plugging it in.
