I like how your comment is downvoted even though this hypothesis is directly supported by the data from the article. Fat cars getting fatter, pedestrian-hostile streets becoming faster, city infrastructure requiring people to drive everywhe

There's many more pedestrians who start to think twice about walking anywhere after someone they know is hit by a vehicle.

My favorite feature of bicycle lanes in San Jose is that cars cross them diagonally to get onto highway access ramps. Nothing screams "safety" like an SUV coming at you from behind and left while accelerating to highway speeds.

One obvious direction not explored in the article: looking not just at the type on the vehicle involved in the deadly collision, but also the actual model and its geometry . It's not just that SUVs are deadlier than sedans. It&#x2

"Our delivery vehicle is FOSS" Yeah right, FOSS is famous for just accepting pull requests with exploits from randos. LGTM YOLO fuck it, ship it, move fast and break things — wait, that one isn't FOSS. Anyway .

Eh, every industry has its own weird jargon. Don't ask me what's normal about normal subgroups¹, for example (or what's weird about other ones, especially given that it's the normal ones that are special in some wa

Pretty big. The key word is "comorbidity"; having one of them means you are more likely to have the other than a random person. There's also an overlap in traits. I'm AuDHD (autism + ADHD). You can read about my ADHD sid

This game is perfect. I've finished all the deliveries, and have found both the special visitor and their vehicle :) Wish there were achievements for that!

Yeah, that's one of the billion reasons I'm sticking to Android phones with gasp file managers and shock expandable storage via an SD card slot. I never need to import anything when I can simply copy the data from the card.
