I’ve heard that Sceptre is a good brand for that

The simplest solution is just don’t buy these TVs

Relevant XKCD

It wasn’t always so one sided. Jane Jacobs wrote about the power and effect of local community surveillance over the streets in her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities. When we zone for and build mixed use streets with enough density and points of interest to ensure foot traffic at all points in the day from a variety of ordinary people, with a healthy percentage of them being established locals, then it’s much easier for good samaritans to notice when something goes wrong (like a kidnapping attempt) and intervene. Privacy used to be a lot easier to achieve too when you needed it.

Longer trips should probably be multimodal if you can no matter where you are in the world. How are the public transportation and bike shares?

Seems to be gaining popularity with real estate and construction to help visualize spaces as they’re being built and/or sold

Are these posts/ads coming in after Carney roasted them?

Alberta’s shorts are great 💙

The world doesn’t have enough sectoral bargaining

More fentanyl comes up than is caught headed down. The fentanyl problem feels like it’s blown way out of proportion in order to justify the use of emergency powers to enact tariffs without going through congress.

Almost every trip inside cities, between cities, and even to some rural places could be done with alternatives to cars.

I know it can be hard to imagine a world where cars get minimized to filling a small niche role in a broader transportation system, especially when today most people in Canada and the US think cars are synonymous with mobility. Other countries have shown that car lite/free lifestyles are not only be possible with today’s technology, but desirable.

The alternatives are more space efficient - meaning less traffic congestion, they’re better for the environment, and people’s health and wellbeing.

Even if you’re one of the few who insists on keeping your car, wouldn’t it be nice to give safe, viable, and reliable alternatives to everyone else who doesn’t want to drive so they can get out of your way on the roads?
