Uplifting News@lemmy.world•San Jose is adding concrete barriers to bike lanesEnglish
5·2 days agoThere is a little more to it than that.
A barrier has to start somewhere. The blunt end is considered a hazard for cars if it is too close to the lane, called the clear zone. That blunt end is considered very dangerous and either needs to be located out of the clear zone or have expensive and large crash cushions protecting the blunt end.
It is going to be very difficult finding a civil engineer who will approve installing a blunt end right next to an active travel lane. That makes it useless if you’re trying to protect a bike lane next to traffic.

2·2 days agoIt depends on the tourist place. Europe is very stingy with water, but other tourist parts of the world aren’t.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Put your seat back or no?English
2·2 days agoI don’t usually, but I get the window seat to give me sometime to lie against.
The rule is that, unless you’re in a first class seat that can impact the person behind you, you can recline.
This is how the comic is shown on the artist’s website and we went through a whole thing in this community about someone modifying the comic already.
This is also kind of getting into the reason why RSS failed. People wanted content without ads or paying for it and a lot of content providers didn’t see the utility of giving away the content for free without the chance for revenue to come in.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Today’s bans on DIY repairs of everything from cell phones to tractors grew out of Hollywood’s fear of videotapingEnglish
51·4 days agoThis isn’t really enshittification, though. People used to always have the right to self repair. That right got curtailed once it became a threat to profit margins.
This is a law issue.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If you managed to create lithium batteries that can last for a century, will charging become redundant?English
2·4 days agoBut less electronics waste is less profit. If everyone who bought a 2 year phone bought them every 4 years instead, that’s a 50% drop in sales.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If you managed to create lithium batteries that can last for a century, will charging become redundant?English
9·4 days agoIt depends on the power density. A battery with the current power density but increased longevity isn’t going to be as useful as you’d think.
A battery that is able to have the same power output as current batteries but last a century is going to be a weapon of mass destruction.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's your opinions on film critics and film snobs??English
2·4 days agoI like and subscribe to some of them. You just got to pick the good ones to follow, like someone who will tie in his film criticism to a season long plot arc about a talking coconut trying to gain clout or someone who will teach you what dub con hetero Omegaverse is.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new?English
1·6 days agoI watch adult animated shows, but I wouldn’t call them mature.
I don’t think it says that much about me order than my current media consumption doesn’t really include ways to easily watch kids’ cartoons.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•do your managers feel insulted if you read to learn instead of talking to them?English
9·6 days agohe had the guts to tell me I have to talk to him
I’ve worked with people who say they are all work and no talk. Their work was generally worse than others because they wouldn’t stop to coordinate with others while they worked and they should have. There were plenty of times they would make decisions when they should have talked to others, then those decisions needed to be backtracked because those decisions were wrong on the context of the project, costing time and money. They also end up being hard to work with because they devolve into screaming matches with other staff whenever there needed to be a discussion on his to proceed.
It ended up being a problem for their advancement because I couldn’t trust them in a leadership position they asked for when they wouldn’t show any leadership equivalent to their job’s roles and responsibilities.
Whenever I’ve given the direction “you need to talk to others”, it isn’t about talking to others about their day, but to talk to them about their work because their work is uncoordinated.

You’re not going to find too many horse farms in the Phoenix area. Most animal based farms in the area are for cattle.
And as for a combination of rural and suburban, the divide is a lot firmer in Arizona since farmland tends to get developed in large chunks as suburban communities. The farms don’t have any relationship with the suburbs except as a place to drive through until the land gets developed.
And it is not going to be close to downtown Phoenix. Unlike Lexington, there was never a growth boundary chosen for the Phoenix area. Development has sprawled pretty far, only really limited by mountain parks and Indian reservations.
