"right turns on red (after a full stop, when clear and not otherwise posted) are legal in nearly every state", Really? Really!? I never knew this and.. I don't know but, this just sounds insane. how long do folks have to wait for red to clear, 2 hours? What reason could there be to allow you to legally bypass a red signal? Are the signal routines programmed so bad? Why? Why is this a thing? I'm baffled. hahahaha

Locally, if both pedestrians and a crossing motorized lane get a green light, there's a flashing blue light for the motorized lane that comes on together with the green, explaining you to look for those pedestrians. And running a red light is only allowed during calamity like letting services pass.

edit:

Lots of reactions, none of which really explain why their local traffic law team chose to weaken the message of a red light instead of upgrading their signal routines. Its all stopgaps to ease congestion (and something about emissions, lol). There are other ways my brothers and sisters and everyone in the mix. We need to safeguard some ez rules, like red is no. Now red is only no sometimes. There should be about 50k choices you make before you chose to diminish the power of a red light. The 2-1 downvote ratio make me think that folks feel like it's either right on red or wait in traffic forever. That's the carbrain talking, y'all, we can all have it better than that.

Is parched itself not strong enough to fit the bill? Nonnative speaker here.

It's not really my style, like a lot of public art. Still, 300k is fucking nothing on a nothing burger. I'd applaude this rock made out of 90s school floor linoleum. Rather they spent it on this then ripping out bike lanes.

https://www.guidedolomiti.com/en/dolomites-mountain-rescue/ there are places that have better terms. I even thought our hiking group got some alp-hikers club membership for heli coverage, but it looks like you don't need that and it's a courtesy thing so you ' pay in' this rescue pool. Good thing those horses were only charging us for sport and we didn't even need any heli's :)

Your point is only valid if you trust the government, and you have a right not to trust them. A government you dont trust can use anything on your phone to put some bullshit charge on you, there is no phone, even a minimal phone, that does not have something on there they could use to pin some shit on you. I think you have to plan rules around a possible untrustworthy/fascist government while you have a normal government. Like habeus corpus, right to be forgotten, information requests, etc.

The current american government seems completely batshit insane of the rails, which is why I am using my privilege to never have to go there, to never go there. Some folk must go there, and they need basic protections against fascist rulers. I think, your point boils down to fascism-light. ' You shouldn't have incriminating stuff on there '... the only way to do that is with a burner.

I have very little Linux self host experience. I went the ' same distro on server/client ' route with Fedora, for the same learning reasons and have been pretty happy. Although all my use is recreational (game server hosting), so far no complaints :). I never see anyone talking about it, does anyone know why?

Wow, ok. That kind of looks fantastic!

They should have known it was a risk. The moth checks out.

'Amazingly, everyone in Senate got through the whole ordeal without pointing out that their democracy is a rotting husk drooping corpse fluid on their constituents in need', said a baffled onlooker while they tried really hard not to buy that latte-frappé today. 'Paramilitaries roam the streets in search of the next kill, true, but the pastries at the buffet today were really spectacular, you got got have the good with the bad' Said a senator who couldn't feign even the slightest iota of interest.
