Cyclists on the road are supposed to use hand signals to indicate turns, just like cars whose blinkers are not functioning

They should not be allowed in the sidewalk because they’re a hazard to pedestrians.

Bicycles are to pedestrians like cars are to bicycles. Every argument you can make about cars endangering cyclists also applies to cyclists endangering pedestrians.

Bicycles belong in the road because their speed is more similar to cars than pedestrians, their (lack of) maneuverability is more similar to cars than pedestrians.

Clearly three separate protected rights of way would be better than the current two

This is a big reason I still have optimism. In four years if we restore law and order, and get past MAGats yelling that it’s personal, all those groupies and hangers on can face justice for defrauding the country, flouting bribery laws, violating human rights, defying the constitution …… and turnip in chief won’t be there to pardon them.

I hope to see them all in jail. I hope to se his contemptuous children start a new dynasty in jail.

Wow! That’s much more exciting news!

If you were thinking of heading this direction, Canada is a great place to visit.

Until we recover our sanity, your tourist dollars are better spent pretty much anywhere else

If you use one of the LLM chats, you can add information to refine its output

This is a tradition I really want to revive. We used to do cold soup all summer a decade ago until the food processor died , but need to bring it back

We need a meetup app by appliances …. I have a smoker and need someone to share it with. My favorite is a 15# pork shoulder from Costco, but it might be a little excessive for one person

I don’t know, the curry I made this past week was outstanding

Interesting idea… we actually have a plan to go public in a couple years and I’m holding a few options, but the economy is hitting us like everyone else. I’m no longer optimistic we can reach the numbers for those options to activate

Yeah that’s me, I got so busy that I just disappeared from friend groups. I’m very introverted, so even after we got past the more challenging parts of kids I relied on my ex to collect couple friends, and my kids to make family friends. Now that the kids are grown up and the ex is an ex, I have to start over …. But I’m very introverted

 

Can anyone point anywhere (except Reddit or Facebook) with up to date info about Market Basket? What are the employees doing?

Last time around customers successfully supported the walkout, to all of our benefit, but are they walking? Is there anything organized this time?

Was just browsing Lodge cast iron, wondering if there are some pieces I should splurge on. Are there non-standard pieces people actually use? Normally it’s just me for dinner but my two teens are back summers

I have the three standard skillets that I use frequently, with lids I use occasionally. I got the small Dutch oven thinking it would be good for beans, veggies, maybe a small bread loaf, but have to admit I’ve never used it.

What about

  • the minis, like 5” or 6.5” - do you actually do like individual apple crisp or anything? Which size is actually useful? How many?
  • tall frying pan - I’ve been afraid to try frying, but is this significantly safer than the regular skillet, for fish or something? Or should I just stick to the air fryer? Do people use this?
  • does anyone like the baking pan or cookie sheet? Do you use it enough to be worthwhile?
 

So many toddler toys and sporting goods on the curb in front of our house! Got my now college age kid to help.

We put up a huge “free” sign, and at least some things found a new home. Three bicycles, two portable soccer nets, and a pair of roller blades definitely gone but there’s just so much stuff that I really couldn’t say what’s no longer there

I’m disappointed the snow blower didn’t go. Yeah it’s older and needs service but it’s a nice two stage, self-propelled, auto-start model where bringing it back to life would be a fraction of the cost of buying something like that

 

I find this a bit weird, but I just fell asleep on the sofa while watching YouTube. The weird part was I had a very vivid dream that I was watching an entirely different YouTube video

 

This morning I made pancakes for my little one (ok, he’s a high school senior, and it was an egg, cantaloupe and some pancakes). His favorite is chocolate chip: I can do that!

As I was making them I realized I didn’t have enough chocolate chips. But I could still be the hero, I had mini-chips to make energy bites!

I don’t know if this counts as science, but I discovered the minis sink right to the bottom while full sized are easier to keep in suspension. The minis made it a lot harder to give each a consistent chocolate taste

 

The last several months, I’ve started watching YouTube.

I tried looking at what I’ve been watching:

  • lawn mowing
  • drain clearing
  • dog grooming
 

For those of us still impatiently waiting, what is your experience so far with “Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition”?

—- I ordered just 2 hours in but the vendor I used sold out in 21 minutes. I just found out I also missed the restock, so hopefully some time next month.

Waffles for the win (lemmy.world)

Slept in and made waffles for my kids …. I got too damn excited making Liege Waffles for the first time. The kids loved them but it’s a lot of work, even more cleanup, and molten sugar hurts like the dickens

Huge Costco trip (lemmy.world)

I haven’t been in about three months so I started running out of stuff. It almost got exciting, going while hungry and without a Christmas list. I should not have done that

And still no effing tissue boxes

 

The pop up reminder has been on my thermostat since October.

However the furnace couldn’t hold temperature and started short cycling so I had to. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be the problem so I may need to call a guy (it’s always to replace the control board but I have yet to find a way to confirm that before spending $400 to do it myself)

Did not sleep in (lemmy.world)

Already failed my first goal for taking today off, by forgetting to turn off my alarm clock.

So my grand plan for using one of my precious days off is (drum roll, please) ….. taking my kid to a routine appointment that for some reason had to be in the middle of the day
