I want you–a random individual–to go on stage, and tell the country that just elected Donald Trump to make cities walkable.

Have a ball.

DDIs are the best we have right now. At the very least, the conservative nutjobs in my city don’t detest them to hell… much. They can be scaled down, and single lane versions would be perfectly acceptable in a walkable city.

I’m analysing my local interchanges, and the DDI still appears the safest large intersection in my entire city for pedestrians and cyclers. Add barriers that stupid Americans seem all too eager to detest, and you’ve still got something far safer than anything else available. Make the interchange single-lane at that, and it integrates nicely with a hypothetical walkable city.

I just don’t see how it’s more dangerous than standard intersections for others. Bicycles still ride the same path that the cars do, and pedestrians needn’t worry about right turns on red.

This is a trivial matter compared to the entire rest of the city.

I live in an area with a diverving diamond. I’ve never heard of any collision there. That’s unlike our local mall entrance shitshow, which has a major accident every other day.

I explicitly said I’m anti-car (read: I’m aware they’re car-centric). The rest of this is either outright false, or isn’t solved more effectively by any car-centric alternative.

Diverging diamonds are among the best interchanges in existence. That doesn’t mean they’re great, but they solve far more problems than they introduce.

Please direct your weapons where they actually matter–asphalt itself.

I support a car ban, but these are actually very well designed.

So there’re these things called caltrops.

Well, funny thing–I was once late for a job because my alarm didn’t go off. Guess why? Yep, auto reboot. There was even a notification saying the alarm didn’t go off. Very odd behaviour, but that’s what happened.

The only solution would be to simply turn the setting off at night, or have developers add an automatic scheduling option. Of course, you can just set the timer to be longer than your sleep schedule as well, but then you miss out on security.

Yes. Alternatively, you can just… power it off.

CalyxOS and GrapheneOS have this as a feature.

If developers actually supported macOS, it would be a way better form factor over PCs. PCs consume ludicrous amounts of power, while my M1 Max MacBook Pro could run Baldur’s Gate 3 at max graphics with no performance issues. On battery. Over extended periods. Make ARM better already.

Macs can game–people just don’t want them to.

That’s horrible. I want you on my design team.

At the very least, the keyboard functions for power.

There is plenty of room on the front for a power button. Should have removed the headphone jack.

Lol, lmao.

It’s kinda cute

Hey! Not MTF (yet…? stuff’s wacky currently) but I do know of something that may prove to be useful.

Might I suggest yohimbe bark? Avoid yohimbine supplements, but I make tea with 3-5g of ground, shredded bark. It works decently well, moreso than anything else I’ve tried. On top of that, it appears to be a vasodilator–it shouldn’t affect hormone levels long-term! It’s effective in all sexes, too.

Effects (of tea) begin after thirty or so minutes, and this aligns with all accounts I’ve seen. It causes restlessness, so I’d avoid evening use… unless that’s your goal. Also, doing too much is fairly dangerous. It is preferred to stick to the lowest effective dose–though, I don’t seem to be dead. Interesting…

Overdose isn’t fun. It’s easy to overdose on, yet hard when you actually follow instructions… like how I didn’t. Anyways.

Mountain Rose sells 8oz. of bark for cheap, but took a little bit to ship. Nothing bad. The tea actually tastes decently pleasant–earthy, kind of sweet, a bit bitter, nothing overwhelming. Can’t go wrong with trying?

I’ll answer any further questions to the best of my ability whenever I find the time. Also, random stranger on the internet, medical advice, all that. Do some of your own research–with the caveat that any site ridden with “ineffective” and “dangerous” for every single compound in existence is probably propaganda, and not worth considering. Hope I’ve been helpful! Wanted to provide an answer that nobody else would.

Else? I agree with strap-on suggestions, though it’s got its downsides. Pretty much everything in this thread is sound advice!

I was also like “lmao meatball”

I wonder if they’ll make a touch-based mouse that doesn’t suck.

EDIT: To clarify, I would like that. I love the way the Magic Mouse functions. It just sucks. The thing is so uncomfortable and the trackpad feels better in practically every case.

$50 should still be the norm.

It is, if that’s what you follow.
