thats pretty much universal among light rail at-grade systems

i looked it up and this stretch of like six blocks is the only bit that goes curvy because of the need to accommodate left turn lanes, which imo is a pretty acceptable compromise for a light rail system built in a red state over the last 20 years or so

dude's just trying to attract a set of insta followers who mistake whining for insight. not a bad clout building strategy on today's internet tbh

Can you even be an influencer if your name is Hayden and its spelled "Hayden"?

The layout and design of Salt Lake City is pretty wild, listened to a podcast about it a while ago. https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/plat-of-zion/

quote:

Street width, as well as the length of each block, can make the city feel hostile to pedestrians. The streets are so menacing and crossings so long that the city has placed plastic buckets on lampposts which hold flags that pedestrians can carry to the other side while crossing.

We have those in some places in Seattle, even for small roads. Nowhere as many places as I'd like to see them, but you run into them semi frequently. Every road should have them.

Yeah, reading this stuff really bums me out too. If it's any comfort at least the lab animals are (generally) sacrificed for a good cause.

In related CursedCon, this is an MSDS for some kitchen cleaning product at one of my old jobs. I was bored one day so I read the whole thing, and must have forgotten since my WHMIS training was ages ago, but they list the components' LD50 for two animals and three types of exposure.



"I guess they weren't paying attention when the bunnies died."

As something of a palate cleanser, here is a statue somewhere in Russia, honouring mice and other lab animals that have given their lives for scientific research:

That's komle or raspeballe. A ball made of mashed potatoes and flour. It's not very good but people here insist on eating it. Some people put bits of fried bacon in them and then it obviously becomes more palatable.

Mashed potato and flour describes a whole lot of dumplings and gnocchi which are all tasty af. I thought your Hitler apologism was bad but you've gone too far this time.

Wait, does that mean you were terrorizing rats?

There are common tests run to induce stress and fear conditioning, such as foot shock or restraint. Then there’s the forced swim test for despair or traumatic stress. I didn’t like doing these things, nor did I find it pleasant to do the animal sacrifice—and I’d seriously question anyone who actually does—but they are an unfortunate necessary evil in research.

Between all that stuff and the bullshit politics and publish-or-die environment of academia, I no longer wanted to be a part of it after I did my postdoc research. It’s cursed as hell and I don’t miss any of it, I’m so glad I found a career in medical writing. If I were to go back into research, I’d much rather work with people, even if I don’t really like them all that much.
