It is when you start assuming non-bigots are bad people because of what they look like.

I have the Leaf 2 and would highly recommend. Works great, and is much better for your eyes. I use it every day.

I mean they have a point though. We don’t have a progressive party in the US. We have a status quo party (which is usually the conservative party) and we have a far right party.

Nimbys make the world a worse place

We set ours on a pedestal and give them a megaphone though.

I’ll throw a shoutout to Onyx Boox, rather than Kobo or Kindle. It runs Android, can run literally any file type, doesn’t lock you into an ecosystem with DRM where you don’t really own the books you buy. I despise Kobo and Kindle for that reason.

But I totally agree about how nice e-ink is. It’s literally as good as paper. Maybe better. Soooo nice.

I got an Onyx Boox Leaf 2 e-reader, and it’s fantastic, I’d highly recommend it. The great thing about it, is that it runs Android, which means you can get Hoopla, Libby, Overdrive, the Barnes and Noble app, the Kindle app, etc, so all your ebooks are in one place and can be read on your device.

I get all my ebooks for free, by getting public domain stuff from these two places. PG has more selection but Standard has better formatting and is just generally higher quality. This ereader has paid itself off in like 6 months with the money I saved on buying books.

I rent ebooks from the library using both Hoopla, and Libby.

So NHTSA is pretending to care about pedestrians for the first time in their existence? This is a nice surprise.

What I’m hear from this is collective cultures help societies in ways that matter and individualistic cultures help societies that don’t.

And I don’t disagree. And before someone jumps in with an “innovation” argument, just know that most major innovation was done by public entities, with public research, funded by public taxes/grants.

Farming and construction are the only fields that need a truck. Everything else can be done better with a van, yeah.

So, two concerns with this.

1. Hasn’t it been shown the cameras actually increase accident rates? Basically it makes people drive less predictably, by slowly really quickly when they realize there’s a camera. I could be thinking of red light cameras, rather than speed cameras but I thought it was both.

2. I’m pretty sure they aren’t enforceable? If someone doesn’t want to pay one it’s super easy to get out of. Which ends up meaning that the people who need be held accountable, aren’t. And the people that are decent drivers, continue to be decent drivers.
