A noise complaint before 10pm? I’m more concerned with not harming people in the first place, than I am with placing blame. Have you ever been on a bike path, see a pedestrian, rung your bell. No response. Getting closer, start ringing bell more rapidly. Finally decide to call out, , “ on your left”. While slowing down to minimize consequences. Finally seeing a response from the pedestrian, as they turn and step to the left. As you notice the earbuds in their ears. That’s a common experience for me.

I commented on apples map, too. Organic Maps for me!

Perhaps you have heard of people stepping out from behind a bush, unaware that there was an approaching cyclist because that cyclist didn’t realize that there was a need to ring the bell? Have you ever noticed when you phrase a question with a negative assumption it tends to affect how the person responds to that question? Communication takes practice, and with practice can improve over time. I believe in you, and think you have the ability to improve.

I haven’t looked into this so deeply in a while. Thanks for the post! I use VLC, precisely because it plays most anything I throw at it. Cell coverage is spotty, so it’s common to play from files rather than stream. We have a bike ride, doubtless like many cities, social ride meets on the regular. Since Bluetooth, and everyone has a speaker. When I’m riding solo it lets people know I’m coming. Safer that way. I’ve heard people complain they don’t care to hear that cyclists taste in music, which tells me you heard them and weren’t harmed. You’ll hear that music, for a moment, and safely continue on your way. On the group ride everyone plays their own music, call it The Cacophony, if you will. Sometimes the music to the left, to the right match up in interesting ways.

Potential!?! It’s happening you dolt!

lol, no.

It’s Denali.

I’m pretty sure Xiao Hong Shu translates to Little Red Note in English. I’m not using it, just clarifying the name to make it seem small / cute. Aduki beans are Xiao hong dou.

I’ve been virtue signaling for years now. I can’ wait till Meta corp is a tiny greasy stain in the historical record. I’m had two dear friends ask me about the fediverse since Sunday.

In the immediate it’s to draw attention away from his sentencing.

Hol’ up, I’ll be right over. Can smell it from the pix. Got my mouth watering! And a merry Christmas to you!

Thank you once again, MLG!

The large number of eligible non-voters is primarily a result of those individual’s responses to propaganda. This did not happen by accident. I don’t blame the person that got conned, I blame those running the con job.

Things that make one go “hmm?”

IMHO all citizens, in or out of jail should be able to vote. If one is a citizen, one should be automatically registered to vote at 18 yo.

I would be embarrassed. I crossed t-la off my list when I started looking for an EV last year. Bought an i5 instead, and a t-la adapter in case I ever needed it. When I tried to use that adapter at a t-La super charger I was locked out. It looked like it might be necessary to give $ to melon husk, but they refused to give me e-, so it was no deal. And I found a free outlet elsewhere. Melon Husk, so compostable.

So we need to fill his seat, he quit, right? Let’s keep pushing the case against this pedo-rapist.

I started doing this with SETI@Home. And have continued to run these sorts of programs on my computers ever since. SETI@Home used BOINC, which is still used by other projects. I also use World Community Grid. Highly recommend!!

It’s not a joke, AND it’s The Best Joke! Yay for The Onion!!
