Musicians were getting screwed by labels long before streaming became a thing, and labels are still mostly where the money disappears to

Lidl is better for being in Sweden, and Aldi is better at not being in Sweden

This is basically the most pathetic thing he could have done with this tech and it's hilarious that he actually did it

About 200 meters, but I usually take the bike down to the Lidl 1 km away.

Where I last lived I had 200 meters to a small shop and 3.5 km to the local Lidl, which was fine but not ideal.

Getting a bike with a rack might be a good idea for your grocery runs. 3 km is less than 10 minutes on a bike.

Originally airlines preferred them over two engined planes because they were safer,

Up until ETOPS (aka Engines Turn Or Passengers Swim) was introduced in 1986, it was not even legal to run cross-atlantic flights to and from the U.S with twin engines.

As I understand it, point-to-point taking over from hub-and-spoke coincided with mid-size high-range airplanes like the 787. Before that, the economics of running point-to-point had trouble penciling out, since you needed fairly large aircraft to handle the distance. Hence, hub-and-spoke made sense - run small aircraft to and from hubs and then run a large long-range aircraft carrying a large amount of passengers.

Strength training helps, a lot.

'Fart' does refer to speed occasionally, but the key here is that it's always called 'Hastighetskontroll' in Swedish. Note the double 'L' in 'kontroll' and the compounding of 'hastighet' and 'kontroll'.

This is either Norwegian or Danish.

It's true that 'fart' means speed in Swedish, but in this context 'hastighet' would be used (~'hastiness').

Interestingly worded title - did the car drive itself into the crowd? No, right? Then why would they word it like that?

Anyway, more evidence to support the fact that cars are far too efficient as weapons to be granted as much free rein as they are today. Bollards save lives, implement them liberally throughout any areas with pedestrians.

It's probably time we admit cars that are a bit too useful as weapons to continue affording them the vast uncritical access they currently enjoy in our built environments.

This post is inspired by me seeing an ambulance in the bike lane by the apartment building opposite of mine.

By this point, I'm sure we've all had just about enough of anti-urbanists and NIMBYs claiming in bad faith that bike lanes and bus lanes will be obstructive for emergency vehicles, and as such cannot be built.

You're probably well aware that exactly the opposite is the case - cars are the principal obstruction for emergency vehicles, and emergency vehicles can actually make very efficient use of bike and bus lanes to shorten response times.

I propose that we flip the argument on its head by rebranding bike and bus lanes as Emergency Vehicle-lanes, which just so happen to afford permission to buses and bikes when not in active use by emergency vehicles (which is of course already the case, everyone is required to yield any space to emergency vehicles, at least where I live).

This way, we kill this particular argument against bike and bus lanes in its crib, and expose the opposition as being actually against emergency vehicle mobility, in favour of having more lanes to drive their cars on.

Let me know what you think!

 

I'm having issues getting the app to behave in a predictable manner with regards to localization.

For reference, my system locales are:

  1. en_SE
  2. sv_SE
  3. es_ES

With this locale setup, I expect my apps to be presented in English whenever possible. However, Summit defaults to Swedish under these circumstances. I tried overriding the locale in the app settings and setting it to en_GB, which is a slight improvement, but the app seems to "forget" the setting after a while being backgrounded and reverts to Swedish. Occasionally, the List-screen is in English, but Detail-screens are in Swedish.

Finally, when using this overridden locale, the keyboard also defaults to en_GB, while I prefer my keyboard to always follow the default locale whenever possible. I'm not sure if this is something overridden in the app or if it's caused by the temporary override I have on language in the app, but I figured it should be mentioned.

 

I'm getting close to the bottom of my backlog on a few podcasts, so I'm looking to get something new in there.

Personally, it's been, in no particular order:

  • If Books Could Kill
  • Darknet Diaries
  • Hard Fork
  • 99% Invisible
  • The War on Cars
  • The Urbanist Agenda
  • The Climate Denier's Playbook
  • Well There's Your Problem

I'm mildly considering getting into Behind the Bastards and It Could Happen Here, but I'm a little bit skeptical on account of how damn much there is to be listened to in their feed.

I'm currently commuting around 12 km one way, which takes me 30 minutes. How long is your commute?
