Apparently I’m a ‘menace’ to walk around with in other towns because I keep assuming I have the right of way. I’m used to streets where cars are allowed, but they must yield to pedestrians and cyclists. So I unthinkingly wander in the middle of the road in other cities too, gathering cars behind me like a pied piper until a sighing friend pulls me aside. As I stand with all the other people forced aside to let 1 driver in 1 car pass, I wonder: who’s the real menace here?

do you have a fire extinguisher in your house?

if not, I highly recommend grabbing one if you can afford it. powder is a good place to start, since it works for almost all household fire types and is safe around electricals. a brand new 1kg one is about £15 and a 2kg one is about £20.

a few years back I had an incident where having a fire extinguisher in our kitchen saved me from severe burns and limited the fire damage to stuff I could cheaply repair. coincidentally, I had bought it that day.

It is absolutely baffling to me how frequently hard it is to find answers to a javascript question that doesn't require pulling in at least one dependency (like jQuery), when usually the answer in plain javascript is *at least as simple* as with whatever fucking dependency you "MUST" use

Paris has revealed plans for pedestrianizing the city that include creating 100 hectares of new pedestrian space by 2030 and transforming car lanes to human-friendly pathways and rain gardens.

Love this part: "walking is free, it's emission-free, it's noise-free, it's good for your health and, as we see every time we pedestrianise, it's also good for local businesses."

People-friendly cities for the win! 🚶‍♀️ 🌳 🚴‍♂️

Without looking it up, how long ago do you think the OceanGate debacle was? I'm curious how bad everyone's sense of time these days is. I know it was pretty bad for a few years there...

Question for the wider fediverse; where did academic Twitter end up? My wife has pulled the plug on the network formerly known as Twitter and would like to reconnect with the academics she was engaging with on that platform but it appears they’ve been scattered to the four winds.

The future is going just great

The world’s most powerful military force mistook a woman and a child for a man in rural Somalia, killed them, and decided their deaths were no one’s fault. https://continent.substack.com/p/a-us-drone-killed-a-somali-mother

Just got an email saying that they're discontinuing Google News and any magazines I purchased or subscribed to will no longer be available, which is why I don't buy digital media from most stores, because you own essentially nothing
