One inch sensor in a phone is incredible. Hope that tech makes it over here

Superfeet are pretty great, but spendy. All the good ones are. Sole are also good but dont last as long ime.

Honestly, I kinda get it. It’s getting really hard to find real food. Fries taste WAY better cooked in lard. It used to be the norm, but is impossible to find now. Same with donuts or anything fried, really. Also gluten free stuff tastes like shit. I’m happy it became a trend for the actual celiacs out there though.

I know this is meant to be funny, but animal fat > vegetable or palm oil any day.

I don’t know much about the guy’s track record in council. But I did tune into the debate before the mayoral election, and two things stood out. First, was that he sounded incredibly reasonable, which was a surprise to me as my leftist echo chamber had me thinking he was an extremist. Second, the whole debate was respectful, sane, and that all the candidates seemed to want the best for the city.

Municipal political partisanship will destroy what seems to me to be the last bastion of cooperative politics in the country, which is a real shame.

I’ve always been fascinated by these things. When you think of the relatively miniscule amount of energy it takes for a cyclist to move along at 30km/hr, or an ebiker to move along at twice that speed, it’s absolutely insane that we use 4000lb cars to move us just a bit faster still.

If we were all to drive around in 100lb electric velomobiles with speed limits capped at around 80km/hr, everything would work better. There would be fewer safety issues, road maintenance would become almost negligible, and traffic and parking would be largely solved

Obviously, highway vehicles and towing and delivery would all still be a thing, so this would need a completely separate road network and is basically impossible, but man are cars overkill for getting us from a to b.
