Covid era restaurant menus. They were nice and fringe before that.

I like browsing the repository at https://www.linuxserver.io/ from time to time. Since they only make docker images for popular projects, it’s a good way to see a more curated list of what people are using instead of getting lost in giant lists of open source projects.

I think you’d get your answer by looking into how that works with motorcycles, since that’s a better analogy than cars.

What safety standards are you thinking of? Vehicle maintenance? Proof of competence to operate it? Following laws while moving?

The easy answer to it is probably “because enforcing cyclists is hard and doesn’t pay for itself in fines.”

I drive and cycle.

When I’m riding my bike and break traffic rules, I’m a suicidal idiot.

When I’m driving my car and break traffic rules, I’m a dangerous menace to others.

Drivers don’t get to clutch pearls when their actions directly cause death and injury to others. A cyclist riding like an idiot is like a motorcyclist without a helmet - the vast majority of the danger is on themselves.

We’re not sending our best.

I was taught this in driving school. If you’re the last car slowing down, leave a gap of a few car lengths so if a car behind you is going to hit you, it gives you some room to escape either to move up, or enough room to turn out of the lane.

That sounds like some kind of superhero fantasy to me. In what scenario am I about to be rear ended and have enough time to move my car safely?

I usually leave enough space that I could turn into another lane without having to reverse, so if the car in front of me stalls I can go around without too much fuss. That’s like half a car length at best.

My domain is still set to a former address of mine and I never bothered to update it fifteen years later.

You could provide an address for your registration… sometimes people make typos.

If there’s truly an audit or verification it’ll be easier to explain a typo than why you said you live at “123 Eat Shit Ave”.

This meme made me thirsty.

Alberta, are you ok?

If they can cancel a green card at a moment’s notice I wouldn’t trust them not to cancel diplomatic immunity the same way.
