@eob @heatwave I have always believed that if we intend on getting a message across to someone we must speak at their level. Climate change is a critical issue and using Fahrenheit is important so that those in the US understand the message. They also happen to be the biggest contributer to CC. In an ideal world they would understand Celcius but they don't.
So it would be advantageous to also use Fahrenheit .
OK.
Those of you know me, know that I'm pragmatic. I will give anything a fair try.
Which is why I've spent 48 hours with the ROG Ally in Windows mode... but I don't know how anyone tolerates this.
It's buggy, cumbersome, less responsive than Steam Deck (despite a faster processor), and I'm not enjoying it. This painful user experience is not worth Game Pass access or games like Call of Duty. It just isn't.
So, Bazzite going forward. If an option like that didn't exist, I'd get a refund.
This is why Strong Towns does NOT advocate for redesigning stroads like this. There's no point.
It will cost a bunch of money and political capital and those "bike lanes" will be used by only a handful of people (just like on Wonderland Road), which will only serve as something to point to and say, "see? nobody bikes here!"
Chuck's article, "How do you actually fix a stroad?" is useful here.
The answer: you shouldn't.
So what should you do?

@zdl @catileptic And yet you argue that it's crime that makes cash a problem, when I'm telling you that hereabouts, it doesn't.
So maybe where the problem lies is not as clear cut as you would like it to be.
Which brings me back to my main argument: even if the long term goal may be to fix the financial system here, that does not help folk in the short term. Cash does.
I have a story I tell people, about a friend of mine, and myself, mid-90s. We both were in a homemade game scene.
He was rich, and his dad could buy Borland. I wasn't. What that meant was, he could code, and I couldn't.
So, he took off. He learned, got a job, went to SF, and was doing very well before I even started.
Later, I found free software. It let me start catching up. So, free tools have always been accessible, paid tools block me until I have money.
Maybe that's part of it?
I've got a friend who is perfectly well-intentioned and a good person, and who I really respect.
She will literally never speak to me about anything, or come around to anywhere I'm chatting, unless it's to share some devastating bad news, or to self-promote.
I'm loud and chatty so there's tons of ways to bother with me, regardless of the topic. She won't.
So, what I know is this: she only speaks to me when she's decided there's a strategic reason to.
It sucks so much to be used as a prop.
