Never ceases to amaze me how many people choose to sit in a car in traffic when the weather is nice.

Tapping the boost button and then having to find the boost button that pops up at the bottom of the screen 😖 why not just have a quote button instead of breaking the boost one?

People who attended Friday's @trimet.org board meeting to beg for bus lanes on 82nd learned that TriMet HQ doesn’t have any bike parking on its block -- but it does have 5 stories of parking above it if you drive a car. #motornomativity Photos @binnig.bsky.social & @aaronkuehn.bsky.social

First time crimping and assembling anderson connectors... is there a tool to get it properly jammed into the plastic socket without kinking the wire? Better off soldering xt60 connectors?? #ebikes

What are the health implications of being able to smell when my neighbors are burning wood, from inside my house? I need to filter some intake air and get positive pressure, obvs, but is my sense of smell just being sensitive relative to actual, even long-term impact?

Tis the season to be #HeatPumps'in, now with two of the $500 keystone window units humming away... the efficiency and heat output seems okay but the control setup is funky and the 40F cutoff needs some kind of failover relay that I can plug a resistance heater or something into. I'm wondering […]

Is it hardware or software, that the ctrl key in this chromebook only works 1/5 times I hit it?

I guess this server just got the quote posts and other UI updates. Can't say I like having to click twice to boost. Definitely don't need two big buttons taking up space like this (put them in a ... menu or something? I don't need to change the language 99 […] [Original post on urbanists.social]

While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #unix v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973 Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum #retrocomputing

I've been having this weird feeling all week like it seems later than it is or somebody messed with the clocks 🤔 ...oh 😒

Head's up cyclists... I have seen these pumps recommended on #bikenite and in #BikeTooter Date: 2025-11-06 Product: Lezyne bicycle pumps recalled due to injury hazard Details: The compression canister of the pump can unexpectedly detach from the base of the pump, causing a potential injury […]

So how's NY today? All the right wingers already left?

And like that, capitalism had fallen. Her capitol city had elected a socialist mayor. The christmas music ground to a halt as Wall street's record player was unplugged. The bus has no farebox and Santa's head exploded.

Why can't dishwashers sense the water temperature and pump it out until it's hot? @TechConnectify https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAX2_mPr9W8

🚨 In Maine: Voters have REJECTED Question 1: which was trying to pushvoter ID and absentee ballot restrictions to the state.

Time for the establishment dems to eat crow and GTFO.

I waited until it started raining to go #Vote, but I still didn't melt. #pdxtst #pdxbikes #ivoted

Dan Ryan said to vote no on the parks levy, now I'm an enthusiastic yes #portland

The salamander looks neat but is the latching mechanism super solid with no play in it #BikeTooter? The #zigo joint has a hand-bolt, turn about 20x (not unlike the burley piccolo trailer-bike) but you get a pretty firm connection between them. That leaves the bike outside when the stroller is […]

Many people fundamentally do not understand how progressive taxation works. Rich fuckers, the kind of people who own newspapers, do not want you to understand how progressive taxation works, so they can frighten you about tax increases I'm sure this is a coincidence

PBOT with the daylight losings time "drive carefully" email at 5:30pm 😆 way to go with the timing

#trafficengineers need to have teenagers drive through their designs in a simulator or something. This parking lane before Salmon is a left-turn-only lane on the next block, and they want people on bikes to stand there in an unprotected green box between those two car-parking/driving spaces […]

People need to get their heads out of their cars "When students walk to school, parents build new connection points, children develop independence and social skills, and neighborhoods gain a giant third place for kids — essential infrastructure for development that cannot be replicated […]

Anyone in the Fedi used the Wike Salamander? Seems like a great combo solution to replace an aging stroller but I fear the ebike part will cause issues if I try to take it on public transit. #askfedi #biketooter https://wikeinc.com/en-ca/products/salamander-e-cargo-bike-stroller

This is what the #eBikes' battery indicator looks like at 50.0V, a 72% "state of charge" for this 48v 620Wh battery. In reality, almost half of the usable range is gone, from pulling the sweeper trailer 8.4mi +up 660ft. When it shows 3 clicks, it will be in […] [Original post on urbanists.social]

My perpetual motion machine clean energy startup will harness the well-actually power of replies to a yglesias take.

Of course we don't live in Gun Town. That place is obviously absurd and could never exist in real life. We live in nice safe Car Town.

In bits of good news, the legislature passed parking reform in Illinois! I think the governor still has to sign it but this is cool chi.streetsblog.org/2025/10/31/i...
