we recently had a city hall meeting event thing where Rich Owner of Local Sports Team Man told everyone that our public transit was terrible and our bus system especially was "shameful" even that they had to sell as "don't worry we don't want to get rid of cars!!!!" over and over

i really hope he gets cryonically frozen when he dies from a blood clot due to vampirism and then have it somehow actually work and he wakes up in the far future to see a bunch of strange mixed-race people speaking a language he can't understand that kinda-sorta sounds like english and all his money is worthless and what few skills he has aren't at all useful because he's basically the equivalent of a trebuchet mechanic

also you can buy this on there https://www.ebay.com/itm/Flash-Flying-Ball-Infrared-Induction-Colorful-LED-Disco-RC-Helicopter-Toy-New-TH/142646104162 it's about $3 US and you turn it on and it just starts wildly flying around the room and blinking and slicing people's faces with its blades

Elysiume posted:I don't really get the impression that taxi drivers and lyft drivers are in significantly different income brackets that's not the point, one of them is a large corporation part of an even larger coalition of corporations that's actively trying (and succeeding) to limit their drivers' rights as employees at every level of government under the banner of enabling the new economy. cab companies aren't exactly great either but they don't have anywhere near the kind of clout or the veneer of trendy high-tech whiteness as lyft et al has put it another way, taxis weren't the ones who got my state government to enthusiastically pass a law removing my city government's ability to regulate transportation

i was gonna make a joke about maybe people would ride trains if they could be isolated in their own little sterile room for the whole trip so they don't have any risk of interacting with the wrong kind of people but then i realized that's basically what hyperloop or musk's dumb tunnel company are advertising themselves as ffs

i know this thread loves their transit chat so here's a video about 1937-era traffic lights i stumbled on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKMtNLGGpUQ key takeaway for me is that traffic lights were incredibly loving confusing before they were standardized. depending on where you were in the country they could have between two and four lights, you could just slam right from green to red, yellow and green might come on at the same time, or if you're real lucky they could have something altogether different, like this loving bizarre... thing:

H.P. Hovercraft posted:czeching their website it looks like they source from a number of springs all over florida and not from what tampa's using for municipal supply the point i was gonna make originally was that, at least here, all the bottled water bottling plants don't pull from the municipal supplies, they pay primo prices to rape our natural beautiful springs directly then i realized i was getting into an argument about goddamn bottled water and dropped that angle

fishmech posted:what point is that, exactly. your municipal supply is coming from the same place one is pumped directly out of the springs, decreasing their available flowrates and affecting wildlife downstream, the other is coming from a well sunk into a completely different far away part of the aquifer that has much less of an impact

hobbesmaster posted:433mhz should get better range than WiFi though in my experience the reliability of the whole thing (especially over distance) super heavily depends on the modulation its using, a lot of them basically just hook up an IR remote control chip to a 433mhz crystal via an RF transistor and that seems particularly fragile in my testing source: i reverse engineered a bunch of RF remote control switches so I could control them from my own transmitter
