Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•This brilliant campaign from Quebec shows exactly what it takes to get motorists to actually yieldEnglish
41·3 days agoI’m not advocating for this system anywhere, just that crosswalks should be more then enough in a lot of circumstances. Clearly, it’s not in Quebec.
Your statement that rolling a stop sign is less likely then a crosswalk seems crazy to me. They are both a stop sign. Both fines are very expensive here.

52·3 days agoBut the crosswalk is a stop sign if a pedestrian is using it in most modern traffic codes, and even if you are only about to use it (visible intent to cross), 80 countries agree that is enough to give you right of way on a crosswalk. Visually a crosswalk is just completely unmistakable, so what would adding another stop sign do?
If those rules are unclear, maybe trafic education is lacking? Or maybe repercussions are not enough, maybe increase the fines or chance to get fined?
Interestingly Qatar, Macao and Singapore place the burden of safety on the pedestrians while crossing a crosswalk(very cool for pedestrians, famously lacking about 1 to 2 tons of steel cage to protect them during a collision with a car).

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•So, I was supposed to be a twin, but my twin was absorbed in the womb, which is known as "Vanishing Twin Syndrome", but i have a couple questions about this
6·9 days ago“Fetus papyraceous occurs in 1 out of 12,000 pregnancies and 1 out of 200 twin pregnancies.”
Instead of absorption, it could have been papyrification, but apparently that leaves a kind of unmistakable trace for a doctor, which you mentioned so I assume was involved during birth. If pregnancy was non-standard in more ways then just finding out late, maybe those remains were so small that they were harder to notice?
I couldn’t find a written record of a similar situation where a second twin that was seen at 7 months and just vanished afterward, so this could be a unique mix of circumstances. That also makes it statistically a lot more likely that somewhere along the lines, information was missing, or got garbled in chaos, or was misheard, not unlikely during extreme situations like birth. I’m not even thinking about bad intentions, just all the places where one human error could be the missing puzzle piece.
Can you think of any extra information regarding your time during pregnancy and your birth you are willing to share?
It sucks that you couldn’t live with your twin, although I can imagine you have made you peace with it since. Having siblings can be a lot of fun, I know I love it :)

4·22 days agoVery cool, thanks for sharing! Reminds me of Alien, like in a perfect world your build would be dripping some viscous goop and probably have some flickering lights. Nice.
I have HA yellow here connected to about 10 of these (RWL-021) switches. Only quirk I found is that with a smaller network, if they become unavailable through bad connection, you have to really delete the device from the ZHA list to get it to recouple. Im no home automation pro, but it felt like I had to delete it twice before they would pair again. Now my network is fully on, they don’t lose connection anymore so it’s no longer an issue.
Look up dimmer switch automation blueprints on the HA forum and spare yourself the time to make your own. After that you can change the settings in the HA ui, no yaml required.
The Signify (hue) zigbee based dimmer switches or regular switches would work for this, right?
I’ve had it with these monkeys, on this god damned bed!
