attention: tori https://twitter.com/StreetsblogUSA/status/956944782093438976 “The facts remain unchanged. The actions of the operator were not and are not criminal in nature,” McCarthy said. He declined to address the requirement that drivers yield in situations like what MassBike described. Jake Wark, a spokesman for Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley, said prosecutors saw no reason to pursue charges. “The investigation did not reveal driver impairment, distraction, excessive speed, failure to signal, or disregard of a known risk,” Wark said. “What it did make plain were the challenges inherent in operating such a large vehicle on city streets. As prosecutors, we welcome measures to make our roads safer for cyclists and pedestrians, but we have an ethical obligation not to charge a case we know we can’t prove.”

lol was that really a data leak? isnt that just information they have out all the time? or did i miss something about their db being hacked i think the strava thing is overblown in terms of mattering. all foreign nations already know everything about us bases. if they had access to realtime tracking of everyones movements that could be bad from an attack pov, but otherwise nothing is really going to cmoe of it as everyone with means to do damage already knows. theres another conversation to be had about ~data driven tracking~ and privacy in general which is actually a problem.

Just as you wouldn't blame a driver for crashing into an asteroid that lands in front of them you wouldn't blame them for hitting any other random object that doesn't belong in the roadway such as a bicycle.

i think it used to be that when you were a fatass in the army they just made you do more PT and eat less but i suppose that isn't disruptive or innovative enough for today's modern warriors

here's a nutty thought: if you need to "gamify" a reason to do physical activity maybe instead actually do physical activity toward a purpose rather than treat it as some onerous intrusion in your otherwise sedentary life

for example, you could see how many push-ups you can do in an hour, then try to break that record.
