Do you believe that anthropogenic global warming is real, and significant enough to be a threat?

[ ] No, it's natural
[ ] Real, but insignificant
[ ] Real, and a threat
[ ] Not sure

@Alastair Reminds me of an old comedy skit from Norway where a pedestrian walked along a forest path, came across a speed limit sign, and started walking really slowly, before taking a look at his watch and speeding off, only to be stopped by a policeman coming out of the bushes to write him a fine and confiscate his shoes.

What the fuck is up with Sonic's appearance in that new movie they released?

Very glad I'm not a Sonic fan right now.

@Joshi If this is a real C&H strip, that's almost spookily prescient of Bill Watterson.

@shivvi Our walkways are usually the width of a single road lane and paved with asphalt, so there's usually plenty of room.

@shivvi Pavements are more aimed at pedestrians, but you're allowed to cycle there if there are few pedestrians and you're not putting anyone in danger.

@shivvi Okay, I checked, and duh, pedestrian walkways are always called "walk and cycle ways" here in Norway, and the signs look like this. I guess that explains my assumption.

@shivvi I'm still learning to drive, and it's unlikely that Norway's traffic rules differ significantly. I'm going to check that.

Cyclists and pedestrians have some privileges as road users that drivers do not. For example, if there is an accident involving a vehicle and a bicycle, the driver of the vehicle will tend to get the blame. Pedestrians are also not really expected to know the traffic rules. If you hit a pedestrian who walked on red, the pedestrian is unlikely to face any legal consequences. When you hear about accidents in the news, it's always the driver who gets the fine or has their license revoked.

Earlier, I asked why cyclists are such massive dicks. Why did I ask?

Well...

I've encountered cyclists a few times while practice driving, and they have this tendency to cycle in the road even when there is a pavement or footpath right next to them. They will also *not* use a bus stop to let cars pass.

According to the traffic rules, they have every right to do this, but the traffic rules also say that road users should show consideration for each other, and they're definitely not doing that.

If I wanted to turn this system into a product, I suppose what I could do is cycle the most popular smart bulbs on the market through the full CIE xy range of visible colours with an XYZ sensor pointing at them in order to create colour calibration profiles for them, and then just publish a list of compatible bulbs.

It tempts me a bit to eliminate the first-party hub from the system and just make my own hub. IKEA and Philips Hue both use variants of ZigBee, and you can buy ZigBee modules.

My ambient daylight dependent smart light software + sensor wouldn't need calibration anymore, and could potentially work with all smart lights, if I just had an XYZ sensor outdoors, or in the window, and another one pointing at one of the light bulbs in the system. I suppose what I could do, to spare myself the need for constantly using two sensors, is to run through a first-time calibration routine that cycles all the colours.

Why are cyclists such massive dicks?

@jeremiah @monerica I'm not here to have debates. They are stressful. I block people who stress me out. I worry about my job, my health and my money. I do not need additional sources of stress and misery.

@leyonhjelm Reassuringly, I don't get it...

@Alby @TheCzar If leftists are pussies and right wingers are dicks, then centrists are assholes, are they not? 🤔 We're the third orifice...

@awg @guizzy @masterofthetiger Well, I say a command, but here's what I did.

0. Nostrils flared "by themselves".
1. I flared them.
2. Whoa...

Not much heavy decisionmaking involved. I was just doing it at random times.

Point is; it supports my argument: We don't decide with our thoughts. Our thoughts respond to our subconscious decisions.
