you could install some vigilante speed bumps maybe
This reminds me of the civic minded heroes from Oakland, the Pothole Vigilantes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmCNMQ7TOgY&t=9s&ab_channel=...

You should be able to use Twitter without justifying yourself
No, I would say at this point a lot of people who say they use twitter feel the need to say they aren't a nazi nor do they support nazi's. YOU may not feel that way, but a lot of people do, and they don't want to be associated in any way with endorsing nazi's or musk.
Time to play some black metal!

Agree, but also disagree. Our neighboring town has a beautiful system in place. It tracks your average speed over +- 100m. If you speeded, you get a fine and even better: the light always turns red and you have to wait for a minute. If you run that red light, you get another (heftier) fine. If you drive normally, the light is always green. It's beautiful. People actually drive slowly and safely there. And good, becau…
Sounds great! Now if I could just get that installed in 100% of California ATM we basically have lawless highways in California. Every time I go out I see outrageous traffic violations. People driving 15-20 mph over the speed limit on the freeway, weaving in and out of the carpool lane. People pulling into the left turn lane at a signal, then just crossing on a red light as soon as they think it's safe. People passin…
It's quite jarring to come home and drive an expressway in South Australia where the "speeders" are doing 105 km/h on a 100 km/h route. Someone doing significantly more is a rarity where I live.
Working on https://resumeflows.com A tool that builds job-specific tailored resumes. It's not a novel idea, but the ones I've seen use a subscription based model, and as a user I feel more inclined to purchase some tokens for usage based approach. Also my wife has been looking for a job for a time and I thought it would be handy for her. Pretty close to getting ready for launch.

The guy at Not Just Bikes will tell you that enforcement will never work nor happen and that the only way to get people to slow down is to design the road so it doesn't feel safe to drive fast. The road next to my house has a speed limit of 20mph but most cars go 45mph because it's a straight road 4 lanes but space for 6. No bumps, no curves, wide. Effectively it feels like you should be driving fast. If I go the spe…
Sounds like it's an issue with the speed limit.

Why? Because I thought it would be a fun challenge. I have a win 98 machine. I have Vim 7.3 installed. It has not been compiled with lua/python. I want a minimap.
It's been fun to find clever compromises to make it work. I've almost completed the project. (at least it works on my modern computer, I'm sure when I transfer it to my Win98 I'll find I'm using some modern vimscript functions and then I have to invent fun workarounds again).
If you want a good dev experience on a Win98, I highly recommend Vim or if you don't vim, then notepad++. Vim is better though.
I have celiacs, so I'm making a database of every single labeled gluten-free product in grocery stores. (I have 8,858 products across 243 grocery categories). GF products are expensive and hit or miss, I really wanted something where I could keep track of my favorite items. I also want to let people rank them, so maybe I can discover the best gluten free hamburger bun (Rudi's Brioche), or beer (Glutenberg Blonde). I'…
theres some debate around the idea that gluten might be mildly toxic to everyone, so I could see this being really useful to everyone

You’re not alone! I cleaned 100 square meter of wall in February from everything that was put there during last 70 years. From somehow modern plasterwork with probably asbestos to two inch thick dirt in other room. Waterproofing is brittle and does not function anymore, so it comes next and then replacing windows. All by myself, the costs of trades can’t be justified especially when quality isn’t there in most cases.
I've looked into replacing windows but decided that that's going to be one of the things that I'll let professionals do. The ironic thing is that not only are the tradies expensive, but prices for renting specialty machines are also crazy high where I currenly live. Like, I looked into renting a stand-up concrete grinder/sander -- $100 for 4 hours! Plus, you need to buy the sanding attachments which are another $200…
I am buying all the tools. AliExpress price and quality level if I don’t need them much. Good quality ones for the bigger tasks. I tried renting at the beginning, but it’s very expensive at the end. Sometimes it’s more about convenience and not money. Having the equipment at home allows me much more relaxed planing.
