What a great idea, "scare" drivers by reminding them that only other people will suffer repercussions from their actions.

Ironically it would be a good traffic-calming measure if they'd done that to the street

Xaris posted:this is getting cross contaminated with climate thread but nano/microplastics seem to be a very plausible reason. they get into cells easily and haver been shown to cause immune response and inflammation = cell death = cancer nucleation point, ontop of the whole hormonal disruption thing. and they're also from tires which is a big source of how much they spread all over. I already worried about all the plastic in my lungs, now plastic is up my rear end? Even when I don't put it there? I can't wait for the Plastics Industry Association propaganda on how microplastics are actually good for you.

it's crazy to me how far you can hear traffic if you are trying to enjoy the outdoors. i swear I have to go at least a mile into the woods before I stop hearing the highway. I thought this was interesting: "The right temperatures and wind conditions can bend highway noise like a prism bends light, thwarting roadside sound barriers and plopping sounds as loud as a vacuum cleaner into the yards of residents more than a quarter of a mile away. The effect often happens at dawn and dusk because sound bends from hotter air into cooler air. During the day, the ground is hotter than the air above it so sound bends vertically upward. The team reported that sound levels at the locations they measured a third of a mile from the highway — which normally have little highway noise the level of quiet rain — were at times above 67 decibels"

I guess if you're hard of hearing, gently caress you, it's your fault if you get hit

It's really noticeable coming from a place with no highways to an American city with giant highways with speeds over 70 mph. It's just a constant roar of white noise over the city.

mystes posted:It's loving crazy every car is like vantablack tinted now why the gently caress is this allowed (in some places I think there are legal limits but I'm not sure it's actually enforced anyway)? It seems like a pretty important safety thing that people should be able to see into cars. it’s a poor person ghetto thing to avoid getting pulled over for the crime of driving while brown but now it’s been appropriated by aging white boomers in 100k ford 950 trucks and huge suvs but yes it’s never enforced

https://twitter.com/pushtheneedle/status/1520433203089076225 loving delayed a housing development by a year over the brick pattern of a wall facing a loving parking lot. You've already decided to put the most hideous possible development there--a parking lot--so who gives a flying gently caress what the wall facing it looks like?

A few years back I was crossing Stanwix with the light at this intersection:  Dude turning right on red nearly hit me, when I waved to him he screeched "gently caress YOU" at me and drove around me, and ran the light at Penn. If his windows weren't down I'd have never been able to make eye contact with him or even see who nearly killed me. You know he went home and told his wife that someone jumped out in front of him too

And yeah I hate the window tinting too but I don't think it's even optional anymore. Every car just ships off the factory floor with pitch black windows.
