Sorry I’m out of the country so I heard about it yesterday on lemmy. With big organizations, it’s possible that like the district or region leader didn’t think it’d be a big deal and didn’t pass it on. Or hell, maybe one of them is a trumper and let it go. When corporate found out from the news they tried to do a PR cleanup. Could also have been slow then.

Sorry, I meant corporate
Why is it too bad so sad too late?
The franchisee probably didn’t contact McDonalds before allowing Trump in.
They probably found out the same way everyone else did — the news. Someone had to pass it up high enough and then they issued an inter memo (which they may have gotten before the news) and then the president wrote a letter.
Timing seems okay for me
I’m guessing being able to turn it off and not change during an update is a business grade feature. I’m guessing at least windows 11 pro will come with a permanent off switch
To my knowledge, there isn’t. But you can ask the person to turn off recall. I’m going to be running 11 in a VM myself so /me shrugs
Honestly, I’m not a Democrat either I’m just a “let’s get off the crazy train and improve the country” guy. Hell, I even consider myself conservative
Thought Biden would be terrible but voted for him anyway. He bores me and I’m so happy he does. I’m so glad the internet doesn’t have to report on every little thing the president does.
I thought Harris would be a train wreck but she’s impressed me. Sure, she’s not PERFECT, but I thought her role as a prosecutor (yes that was important to me) would really make her unpalatable. Her actions, even if I think dont correct enough, more than make up for that. It makes me really not care about her time as a prosecutor. Sure, she isn’t the president I would choose but she sure seems at least presidential.
You can achieve grid lock without a vehicle in the intersection. It’s about volume and red light patterns in a grid. All you need is a choke point. For vehicles, you can achieve this via badly timed traffic lights a freeway entrance, an improperly sized roundabout, or (as you said) an obstruction in the intersection.
My estimation of bicycles to cars is very roughly based on the width of an average car. If everyone obeys traffic lights and there is a choke point somewhere, it is plausible to create grid lock with enough volume. With the current car lane sizes you have to throw out my 4 bikes/car estimation if you want more precision because the stopped space is way more dense. Probably like 8-10 bikes per vehicle. And also, you need an undersized bike path (say across a river during rush hour) that everyone’s trying to get through. It’s hard to imagine because with just bicycles, even if everyone and their mother had a bicycle, we wouldn’t even be close to the volume required on our current sized roads.
Sorry, I enjoy playing games that improve traffic patterns and people maybe misunderstood my post. Bikes can cause gridlock - with an absurdly stupid amount of bikes.
And the government is wrong here. Unless you can create an arbitrarily large amount of lanes, you aren’t going to solve traffic with more lanes. People will realize that traffic is lighter, take that road, and become more traffic until it’s slowed down again.
Sure, downsizing a main thoroughfare might cause longer wait times. But people will find alternatives (underground, walking, biking, etc). The Ontario government is making that statement because they are prioritizing cars and not transportation.
Taking lanes away from cars is stupid if you don’t supply an alternative. And bike lanes (I don’t bike so I would prefer a subway but it’s fine) IS an alternative. So the Ontario government just doesn’t understand traffic.
I love driving but I don’t want to daily commute in my car. It’s just such a waste of space, time, and money.
TLDR: bikes can cause and do contribute to gridlock, but not substantially. The government needs to encourage alternatives to car commuting. Biking is one of them.
Edit: I realized I wrote a story just to defend that bikes can cause and do contribute to gridlock even thought we need a lot more bikes to make a meaningful contribution to gridlock
Trump will win. Vote like it
I mean, doesn’t it already bias towards low population red states due to the cap at 538
Do they expect someone to work at cost for them? Running a company has overhead.
It sounds like they know what the code should do generally, but either didn’t design it to be debuggable or have no idea what they are doing.
Everyone has their own way of doing things and when you commit you need to make sure you deliver a quality product.
Bug hunting sucks, especially with other people’s design.
