The article states that the “Intelligent Speed Assistance devices” are supposed to prevent drivers from driving more than 5 mph over the speed limit. So I’m fairly certain GPS and/or Road Sign Information systems will be used.

GPS Data. Most dedicated navigation systems have the speed limit data in their maps for the last decade or so. They’re probably also going to add the Road sign information systems that newer cars have.

And a car that cannot speed can? You might not have thought that one through.

I would literally die if a girl did this to me 😍

Honestly, fair. Some people are insufferable when it comes to these topics.

At the same time, it is a rather important topic and I encourage everyone to analyse how much they spend on groceries and why. It is the biggest expense most if us have any control over, after all, and it’s easy to pay too much for stuff you don’t even enjoy simply because it has become a ritual. Ignoring the randos, people have to decide themselves if what they spend on groceries is worth it to them, but they actually need to stop and think about it.

Not regularly. It’s a twice a month thing at best.

70€ (83$) food, 30€ (35$) drink. (Caffeine addiction)

I eat less than 1kg* per day, try to only buy food so it’s overall 2€ per kg of a meal, so it’s 62€ per month, with a monthly treat that’s 70.

Edit: Thinking about it, less than 1kg of food per day was perhaps too low, considering that realistically wouldn’t even be half of my recommended energy intake. Maybe the extremely high soda intake I used to have was just to balance that out? Anyway, since I switched to other drinks a month ago I probably eat way more.

Although commonly called “Morgenstern” in German, they’re technically called “(Streit-)Flegel”, so “flail” in both English and German.

“Morning star”/“Morgenstern” refers to a spiky ball on a club without any chain.

Funny, the job site comparison is also in the article:

Cannon said: “In every other hazardous environment, particularly workplaces, we apply an internationally recognised hierarchy of controls: eliminating danger where possible, engineering risks out of the system and separating people from hazards. Only as a last resort do we rely on personal protective equipment. On our roads, we invert this logic entirely, skipping straight to: ‘Be visible’ and ‘Watch out’.”

Where I’m from, you are required to adjust your speed to visibility.
If someone has trouble seeing cyclists who have all the required visibility measures, they are driving too fast, or shouldn’t be driving at all.

It’s hard to see this as anything else but allowing drivers to drive faster at the inconvenience of cyclists, under punishment of a felony.

Easily Europa Universalis 4. It’s a grand strategy game, which means it’s an Excel Spreadsheet with better UI.

This game specifically since it was popular in my friend group, got both free and paid updates for more than a decade, and it is rather low energy so you can either focus on talking with friends or barely hold on to consciousness at 3 A.M. when you said you’d go to sleep just after annexing one. random. duchy. which takes way longer than it should.

Different tools in the program, the coloured marker always shakes around like the stars here (with the crisp diamond shape being an option for it), while the black wiggly lines all behave differently depending on the tool and how you draw the line.

I was shown this neat webapp called wigglypaint by internet janitor for making wiggly gifs.

With tensions between them being at an all time low and presenting as united to the outside being more important than ever, do you think it will be returned to Rome anytime soon?

🎶Cause I’d get 1000 hugs, from 10000 lightning bugs🎶

In order of the FMK game, I assume?

That’s definitely an accurate analysis of your troubles, I hope you get worse.

Only tangentially related, but when else will this be relevant?

I don’t know why siivagunner was obsessed with itsy bitsy spider covers for a few days, but I can appreciate the art of this… thing.

Sometimes it is because you are just not visiting a real farmers market…

and sometimes it’s because farming in the area hasn’t been competitive in decades, and cannot keep up with imports even if they cut out middle men and even if they get subsidised like hell, making you wish the government would just rip the band aid of instead of tying up workers in this industry without a future for another decade, food security my ass, what’s the point of that if we aren’t feeding people at all and instead turning perfectly good vegetables into bio-fuel since energy companies pay more for them then our starving population can?
