Pour one out, always terrible to hear. To anyone that needs to hear this : don’t ride in the bike lane when it is not the safest place to be. If cars don’t like it, fuck em, they aren’t gonna understand traffic from your perspective anyway. (I happen to know somerville and boston biking very well) It’s good that more bike lanes= more bikes on the road but if you’re a strong/skilled cyclist the bike lane should often be ignored.
Another big difference is the $38 billion in subsidies the meat and dairy industries get from U.S. taxpayers…That should also raise alarms.
The answer is here, but you just can’t fight physics. Light needs to come through a lens and hit a sensor. There has to be some significant distance, in relation to the thickness of the phone for this to work. Until camera technology advances and somehow produces a comparatively sharp image, we will be stuck with the bump. It’ll happen at some point I’m sure, but there is a whole bunch of tech that will need to change to get there.

No way, this stuff is excellent. Hard to believe yours is a good faith take when Trump & co spew the most vile commentary that is completely fact free day after day. This is sarcastic, but it’s not really an exaggeration. They could go harder, this is still quite professional, I love to see it. Finally the Dems are in the rhetoric race.
It wasn’t milk
Same rules for communists then?
You know nothing, are not American, and you comment all the time on American politics? Why are you here again?
Shills gotta do the job they’re paid for, after all …
Slippery slope on that one. Do all Nazis deserve punched in the face (and worse)? Yes! Let’s not criminalize thoughts or beliefs though, no matter how reprehensible they may be.
IDK where you were riding… 10 year cycle courier veteran from Boston here with my own anecdotal experience. This could very well be a personal health thing with you. Never had any issues related to the fumes in my throat, or heard of any related issues within the messenger community. If you told me over time that the fumes have a negative impact on healh I’d believe it, but I probably wouldn’t listen to a commuter who rode a tiny fraction of the urban cycling I’ve done personally. I’d be very interested to see a study on long term bike messengers.
Forreal. Somewhere in the Modern Primitives book one of those old heads talks about making people wait a year for a face tattoo. If you’re serious enough to come back a year later then it’s not just a passing impulse. Good policy. Kinda doubt homegirl waited a year, but it’s possible.
Sure, we are all capable of the whole gamut of political opinions, it’s foolish to gauge race as the only deciding factor. On that we agree. There is also a whole messaging thing that would need to shift for Republicans to appeal to a wider variety of people, which is what I was trying to point out. How many times has JD Vance spoke in narrow terms about “the white working class” , that’s probably not a message that appeals much to a diverse electorate. I don’t think the current Republican party would even tolerate Michael Steele at this point.
That’s hilarious, you think Republicans would try that? It’s been mask off for the open racists since Obama, they understand their base just fine.
I’m definitely not trying to victim blame by any means, my apologies if it came off that way. You’re absolutely right, sounds like the driver was 100% to blame and cyclist happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I did not intend to imply that this particular accident was the result of a skill issue , and looking back I can see where it might sound like that. I know far too many strong cyclists that will never be the same after accidents in Boston.
The amount of disctracted drivers on the road is scary for sure. I love riding in the city but I’m also thankful that it is no longer my job.
