You can walk across the border into Mexico without going through any kind of check point beyond a one-way turnstile.

They only talk about Instagram in the article. It’s an ad for the service they run, so there’s not much info besides “this horrible thing happens regularly, we’re working on it.”

Any time someone brings out the “bicyclists break laws, too” argument I’m surprised to hear what people think the laws actually are. I’ve heard people complain about bicyclists taking the full lane, using the turn lane to turn left instead

Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter whether it was a moment of distraction or purposeful bad driving. The reason it didn’t cause harm is just luck. I ride a bicycle and a motorcycle, and have had more close calls due to distracted drivers than

Cartographers are still needed to design the maps. GIS and map data people have a different skill set than designers, and a lot of careful thought goes into good maps.

What? Talking about hard or traumatizing experiences is NOT the same as working through trauma with a trained therapist. It’s great, and it can be helpful, but just talking about something is the first step. Also, I don’t why y’all are acti

Your anecdata doesn’t match up with current ketamine research. The protocol for depression is really different than using it for a party drug. Same for mdma for things like ptsd- it’s paired with therapy that helps you work through things.

The researchers measured mercury levels in the fog, specifically. Almaden is also on the other side of the mountains from Santa Cruz.

Which is why they're creating separate tracks rather than trying to cram everyone into one class. The people with prior experience can take classes that are suited for their level, and will be challenged rather than bored and resentful

Inexperience doesn't equal unintelligence. Making sure that your intro class structure supports people with varying experience levels means you're more likely to engage people with the right interest and capabilities, not less so.

Yes, it’s a hard place to be. Especially in rural areas, people use their cars to get around. That doesn’t mean that you have a right to drive, no matter the impacts on the people around you. If you’ve been convicted of drunk driving twice,

They’ll probably be much more common when this goes through, so there will be economic incentive to improve them.

It’s an accessibility regulation. If a government website has to be equally accessible to people who are deaf / hard of hearing, blind, etc. then the website can only be live when services for those people are up. There are some sites

You pointed out a way that vegan people are marginalized in your own comment, when you mentioned needing to seek out places that can accommodate vegan diets. The fact that many restaurants don’t have menu items suitable for vegan means that

There are also people who refrain from eating beef for religious reasons.

Yes it can, and that method has been used to capture badly-behaved pet owners. There's even a startup for it: pooprints.

I used to work for a food company that Costco required to make special sizes in order to get into their stores. That made it impossible to price compare across stores, because the sizing was unique. Not all products are as easy to search fo

I don’t have long hair anymore but also read through this and thought, “this guy must have a shaved head.” In order to rinse hair clean, you need quite a bit of water. If the shower is too low-flow (like dorm or gym showers often are in Cal

We manage this through a service, so it's not something we need to do manually for every new employee. New folks get added to one or more groups and use SSO to get access. It also varies by team, but for an engineer on my team it'

No need to apologize for disagreeing! I also think the OSM community has a ton of really fantastic people, who are excited to work together to make something really neat. Unfortunately, it's not true across the board, and the tone of t

This is a classic osm way of handling something though. They make every smallest disagreement into a giant dramatic deal that needs to be fought to the death. It’s a toxic community that drives out people unwilling to deal with the crap, an
