Vehicle design prioritizing pedestrian survivability is beneficial regardless of urban design, though admittedly an optimal design will depend on median speed of the vehicle.in pedestrian areas.

Return to retro 1940s rounded truck hoods is honestly an inevitable design shift at some point, as fashion always cycles, but the aerodynamics and fuel efficiency standards are against it.

Would cattle scoop style front ends save lives? The point would need to be crumply plastic for auto collisions, but i wonder if designing for deflection would legitimately benefit pedestrian collision survivability.

Lol, why

Wasn’t there an Olympics in China not so long ago?

4rm the indigenous!

Isn’t Popcorn time dead these days?

Bummer, that was a great game.

More to the point, who’s got a link so we can judge this fanfic for ourselves?

Could be a hog house sewage slurry lagoon, I see what looks like a pump out on the far right corner. I’m not sure about the humps on the bottom, but they might control the current to avoid a whirlpool effect when pumping out the pond. Just guessing here.

New DKR? Yes please! It was always my favorite over Mariokart.

Plus Risk of Rain Returns seems pretty legit.

As the others here are implying, the current consensus in the Physics community is that the many worlds hypothesis is not falsifiable, and so should be disregarded in favor of funding theories that can be proven or disproven. String theorists, the biggest proponents of the many worlds theory, are generally ostracized from greater physics academia since they have failed to produce any experimental designs to validate their claims for several decades after taking up a lot of tenured positions in the 90’s, along with the “pop science” PR campaigning for their position that started then with some popular books and continues to this day in the works of Michio Kaku for example.

Mastodon, you’re talking about Mastodon, lol.

Anyway I’d build an service that provides free wifi at local businesses, then allows users to opt-in to a service that matches clients of those businesses with each-other based on common interests. Trying to encourage the establishment of hangouts / Third Places as a normal in society again.

Also possibly an application that tracks user input and the value of their input to the accomplishment of stated goals for the purpose of profit sharing. Essentially an automated accountability layer for cooperative projects and business ventures, integrated with automated project management based on Natural language processing.

Thanks for sharing, this is the kind of useful info I was looking for.

@vanderbilt try out Kbin, it integrates communities and microblogging under one web interface. Makes it easy to access Mastodon posts as well as threads like this one on Lemmy or native to Kbin. I am on Kbin.Run, which is pretty well run but less populated than kbin.social

@admin @milan

I also would like to gain the power of banishment.

Yep, this me.

Sounds like Tumblr. Mastodon or Kbin/Mbin on the Fediverse do this too.

@can Following for VPN revommendations.

@ALostInquirer Yes, Pex is pretty good for a lot of things, though it does have it’s weaknesses. For instance it is UV sensative and will break down and crack of left in the sun. Also, the fact that it is often joined with compression fittings like the proprietary Sharkbite connectors does make assembly faster, but the failure rate of those components is higher than an adhesive bonded sleeve fitment. Being flexible also has its downside, for while it is nice to be able to bend the pipe to conform to angles, you do have to bend it to each and every stud penetration individually rather than being able to thread a hard pipe through all in one motion.
