School drop offs increase danger to children.

A joint study released by York University, The Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto cites dangerous drop-offs on the opposite side of the road, cars stopped blocking traffic and double parking as cause for concern regarding the rise in collisions

We observed that in 88 per cent of the schools that we went to look at and with each additional behaviour it put kids at a 45 per cent increased risk of having a pedestrian collision

Of course the best mitigation measure:

If you can, walk your kids to school. Let your kids walk to school. The more kids walk, the fewer cars, the less chance of one of them being hit by those cars

What in the AI generated advertising is this?

Maybe build ebikes instead of EVs?
Then you'd need about 1/50th to 1/100th the copper.

The picture shows ISBN 9781784708276

I search this to get the title: "Entangled Life - How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds and Shape Our Futures"

I see £, so I'm going to assume it's the UK. I picked Manchester as a city to search.

I search the book.

Seven 2021 versions, three 2020 versions, and audio book are available.

Are you using the correct http/https syntax?

My home assistant is on an old laptop, so obviously it's names HAL 9000.

Facebook is a community where people use their authentic identities. It's against the Facebook Community Standards to maintain more than one personal account.

So yes, you CAN, but it's against their community standards.

Once you prize your son off helldivers, you should play helldivers.

In all seriousness, homarr now has some fledgling home assistant integration, and I saw a really slick showcase in the discord where someone was using home assistant pages in iframes (mobile view) within a overall homarr page (desktop view).

You got libraries where you are?

Mine does online rentals for digital products (movies, TV, audiobooks, ebooks).

Pi.Alert is dead...💀 Long live NetAlert X 🚀 (network monitoring) (lemmy.world)

After thinking for about a year about it I decided to rename the project to 🚀NetAlertX. This will help prevent confusion about which fork someone is using, and differentiate it from the now stale upstream project. With about 1800 or so commits over the stale project, I thought, this project deserved a new name. It will also...

Breaking change!

Now I've got to update my dashboards with the new name and icon 😀

Zigbee devices.

Smart heating/cooling

Automated lights

Hacked T6Es

Worst:

Batteried smart blinds (with not battery level reporting)

Bed mat sensors (some issues)

Nouveau_Burnswick ,

In short, the issue was that the battery blinds don't alert when they are low battery, and he didn't think to hard-wire them in advance.

Ones that are close enough to power, he's run some 5v lines on an automation timer.

I lived in a small town with a small theatre.

If you couldn't make a show, you called it in and they'd try to resell your ticket; if they succeed, you we're refunded. So there was no "due date/time" but the sooner you asked them to resell, the better your odds.

Never any other cars in car ads, the road is all yours

You can also just look and the model number of your rental and buy that.

I can do this on android 10.

You don't need to go down to the hardwood, but you should still trim your shit.

Unless that's what you're into, then you do you.

Don't forget to tip Galen Weston.

Nouveau_Burnswick ,

That is the law on Ontario, all lanes of traffic must stop for someone using a pedestrian crossover (zebra crossing). The penalty for failure to comply is $1000 and 4 demerits. Fines are doubled ($2000) in community safety zones.

The law isn't to blame; driver compliance, enforcement, and road design is.

Nouveau_Burnswick ,

Some stranger? No way.

My own mother? Absolutely.

Anyways, my thought is that crosswalks should default to walking, and if cars want to pass then can get out and press a beg button to get the light.

Are microplastics from car tyres contributing to heart disease?

"Add one more likely culprit to the long list of known cardiovascular risk factors including red meat, butter, smoking and stress: microplastics.

"In a study released Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, an international team of physicians and researchers showed that surgical patients who had a build-up of micro and nanoplastics in their arterial plaque had a 2.1 times greater risk of nonfatal heart attack, nonfatal stroke or death from any cause in the three years post surgery than those who did not."

https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-03-07/microplastics-may-be-risk-factor-for-cardiovascular-disease

The research is particularly noteworthy, given that one of the biggest sources of microplastic pollution is the synthetic rubber in car tyres: https://aus.social/@ajsadauskas/112015017609398126

So it's not just the sedentary lifestyles that car-dependent planning encourages that's causing health issues.

And it's not just exhaust fumes either.

There's also the health impacts of microplastics, including from car tyres.

Worth noting as well that internal documents from the big oil companies show that they knew since the 1970s that recycling wasn't going to solve the problem of plastic pollution. They promoted it anyway: https://aus.social/@ajsadauskas/112064312364853769

until an alternative to the materials used in tires is found.

Car tires ARE made of the alternative materials.

Pneumatic tires were originally all natural rubber until synthetics were added due to war shortages.

Just a small aside, your points are all spot on.

It's just a reverse change of distribution.
The bottles go back to a central location (some regions that's a bottle depot, other the point of sale then bottle depot).
The bottle depot sorts and returns.

Yup, that's why we all need to continue advocating for transit and safe streets.

A rising road toll in the US. A rising road toll in Australia. Journalists give 1000 reasons why it could be happening.

And they studiously avoid mentioning the growing proportion of massive SUVs and pickup trucks on the roads. If they mention it at all, it's only in passing: https://youtu.be/Hb5_RUNeC0g?si=uuns6D1I6fGINdpU

But.

If you have larger and heavier cars, with larger blind spots, of course you're going to have more fatalities!

Remember kids: Every 10cm a vehicle's hood height increases, the risk of fatalities grows by 22%: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212012224000017

I take argument with #5 as a concept.

My region is against speed and red light cameras out of freedom and privacy arguments; so people get slaughtered by cars instead.

Fine for selfhosting though.

Nouveau_Burnswick ,

How do you figure? Red light cameras decrease frequency and severity of crashed at signalized intersections. https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R46552

There is some increase in rear ended, but those are much less severe than right angle or pedestrian collisions.

Cities adjusting the dilemma zone, or increasing speed limit; is a problem with revenue usage of red light cameras; and revenues should be going to victim funds. It also seems to be a uniquely USA problem? That could be a taxation and funding source issue.

The "we" would be everyone who is not the "37 per cent of urban areas globally, and just 52 per cent of the urban population, [who] have convenient access to public transport."

Nouveau_Burnswick ,

Perhaps something like this

In Switzerland, minimum frequency standards for public transport are enshrined in law – meaning each citizen can expect regular provision of bus and train services, even in rural areas. It is administrated at local level, with each of the country's 'cantons' setting out a framework for delivery.

In the Zurich canton, for instance, which is roughly comparable with South Yorkshire, England, and includes both urban and rural areas, villages of 300 people or more are guaranteed a bus service at least every hour. In the Bern canton, which is less densely populated than Devon, small villages get at least four and up to 15 return bus services each day.

In both places, schedules are aligned with railway timetables to ensure citizens can travel short or long distances with ease. Accessibility for disabled passengers is also a legal requirement.

Nouveau_Burnswick ,

Exactly. Canada/USA won't have the same regulations as Switzerland, but we can certainly have similar regulations.

Script (for watchtower?) removing all but the last old docker image

I have watchtower to keep my 50 production docker containers up to date. So far I have never had to resort to an old image since the new one was bugged but I know of the risks and dont have the --cleanup flag activated so I could easily spin up the old image if necessary. I also keep daily (mirrored) backups so I should be ok in...

Nouveau_Burnswick ,

Not to my knowledge, but you can set up a cron job to prune containers older than X days.

Nouveau_Burnswick ,

So my thought with the time based pruning is that you can keep a backup that's X days old.

Let's say you keep 2 weeks. If there have been no problems with an image after 2 weeks of an update, you're probably good to go. If you have an issue during those 2 weeks, you can return to and image within those 2 weeks. If you've had no problems after 2 weeks, it's probably stable.

Adjust 2 weeks to whatever you're comfortable with.
