A lot of the reason I've put off buying a bike is that most of the bike lanes were either nonexistent or painted ones that abruptly ended whenever there's an intersection. I personally knew a little kid who got hit riding through the neighborhood, and whoever hit him sped off. Luckily he survived, but he very easily could have died if they hit him at a higher speed. Drivers just normalize being impatient way too much nowadays (especially after the pandemic) that you can't trust people to obey things like painted lines. You need barriers, even if they're cheap temporary solutions.

I haven't, but I have pulled by shoulder lifting a mattress at a weird angle to put on a fitted sheet that caused me to hear ringing in my ears and made me feel like I was almost going to. That was maybe two weeks ago, but it stopped after I laid down for a bit.

What's become the most deadly wildfire in the United States in the past 100 years, and they still found all of the bodies. 93 people have been confirmed dead so far, but there's at least 100 people missing. They're searching with dogs through the rubble, so those numbers will probably change in the next 24 hours.

Ever since the pandemic, I wanted a multiplayer skateboarding game where the social aspects of it are just as important as the mechanics so you can hang out with your friends and skate in a way that feels authentic to doing it in real life. Instead of having a plain multiplayer lobby, you could have an apartment you could decorate that you guys could hang out in before you pick the map. You'd be able to sit on your skateboard or chairs and benches to get out of the way-or also to be an obstacle if you wanted. It would also be pretty cool to edit a map in real-time by having some items be movable by the players, like kickers. The maps would vary between skateparks, street skate spots, and DIY spots that have been modified to be more skateable. There could be a couple NPCs you could skate with if you don't have any friends online, but they would be more predictable in how they behave. There could also be NPCs that are purely obstacles, as well.
