Heartbeats.
Same words, same melody, completely different universes.
The litany of "tragic accident" in the comments on the article remind me just how far we have to go in the crash vs accident battle.
Love that NJB quote:
Engineers get paid to build roads, they don't get paid to not build roads.
Hmm, tripped me up too, but I assumed it was the extra "'s", i.e. it should be :"that went away".
A bit meta: That people who were wrong or mistaken about something just needed it explaining more clearly, and then they would stop saying things which are wrong or mistaken.
I wasted far too many years of my life trying to convince father-in-law of so many things, only to realize there is nothing that can be said to disabuse him. The problem wasn't the lack of facts or clarity of explanation, it's that he is fundamentally incapable of acquiring new information if it's inconsistent with his prior understanding or belief.
Moreover I realized that where I am ashamed of being inaccurate or uneducated about something (and so am keen to correct myself), for him it's always the case that I must be wrong or mistaken, because he can never be wrong or mistaken.
If you have 20 minutes to spare this video really helped clear it up for me.
It might seem unrelated at first, but bonds will be discussed approx. 5 minutes in, and the preceding parts helps lay the groundwork.
I'd later come to understand this is called Modern monetary theory.

When I was much younger: that normal people could see much further than me.
One of my oldest memories is going into a McDonald's for the first time with glasses; I stopped and read the entire menu, because I couldn't believe normal people could read it as soon as you walked in. I always had to get up to the counter to make it out.
I got a lot better in school after that!
Alas I sold my soul to VSCode a long time ago.
Also, ew, emacs 😝

'My car is more convenient'
I'm getting a lot of 'but my car is more convenient' arguments lately, and I'm struggling to convey why that doesn't make sense.
Specifically how to explain to people that: Sure, if you are able to drive, and can afford it, and your city is designed to, and subsidizes making it easy to drive and park, then it's convenient. But if everyone does it then it quickly becomes a tragedy of the commons situation.
I thought of one analogy that is: It would be 'more convenient' if I just threw my trash out the window, but if we all started doing that then we'd quickly end up in a mess.
But I feel like that doesn't quite get at the essence of it. Any other ideas?
Book: The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing An Epidemic of Mental Illness
Just came across this article about a book titled:
The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing An Epidemic of Mental Illness
I haven't read it, but I'm a little concerned that the article has zero mention of the built environment. Thoughts?
That Lando jump start
“The stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video and determined that the video appeared to show that Car 4 moved before the start signal was given,” their report began.
“However, the FIA approved and supplied transponder fitted on the car did not indicate a jump start.
“Article 48.1 a) of the Formula One Sporting Regulations states clearly that the judgment of whether or not there was a jump start is to be made in accordance with the transponder, which did not show a jump start. In the circumstances, we took no further action
People who complain about the cost of protected bike lanes.
My current pet peeve is people complaining about the 'cost' of protected bike lanes because "people on bikes don't pay their way".
Beyond even the data showing just how much private car ownership is already subsidized, can we just take a moment and acknowledge: We wouldn't need protected lanes at all if cars were not killing and injuring so many people.
It's like the owner of an animal bemoaning the cost of an enclosure for their animal, which keeps killing and maiming members of the public as they pass by.
It's not the victim's fault the enclosure is needed, and it's not the fault of someone riding a bike they need protection in a public space.

Awesome camera work in Pre-Qualifying Show - Qatar
I wish I could share it, but I guess DRM makes the screen go black.
Starting at 09:00 in the F1 TV Pre-Qualifying Show - Qatar the presenters are standing in the pit lane with a regular camera, and start talking about Alonso.
Then it cuts to a shot of them from overhead using the pit lane cable camera, which immediately starts rolling down in the pit lane until it reaches the Aston Martin garage where it zooms in to the car being worked on.
Really cool attention to detail. And the first time I've seen that camera used by the F1 TV people.

Phoenix, AZ: Committed to Vision Zero (inconvenience for people in cars)
Just need to vent. A short recap:
- In September 2022, Phoenix City Council unanimously approves a comprehensive Vision Zero Road Safety Action Plan. Yey.
- "Pavement maintenance (new asphalt) is scheduled along this corridor, which presents an opportunity to reconfigure the striping"
Perfect! In line with Vision Zero can re-stripe to optimize for safety of all road users!
What's that? First you want to check if that'll upset people who are used to having free parking for their personal vehicles there?
... and if it does upset people then actually fuck the safety of other people parking is most important thing...
And, surprise surprise, people who are used to having free parking for their personal vehicles are indeed upset that the free parking they were never entitled to in the first place will be taken away.
Well then! Fuck those people on bikes indeed! Get a car assh
