Pedestrians have the right of way. Most of the other hills are survivable.

I had someone speed up to scare me and call me a bitch when I was using a zebra crossing… he wouldn’t have even been close if he was going the posted speed.

Except where trams are involved. Those have a license to kill.

The word Himalayan is pronounced like Him-a-lay-an, NOT Him-all-ee-an.....

[–] ExtraPartsLeft@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I've never heard it pronounced like that, and I live somewhere notorious for bad pronunciation. Is there another similar word pronounced like him-all-ee-an in your local accent?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

No. I have no idea how that happened. Just someone I know that pronounces it that way

The Office means the British version. The American office refers to the American version.

I live in a pretty mountainous area, but I can think of a couple blind corners on small hills near me. So probably the one on the way to the bakery while running or biking.

But I do a lot of ski touring so I'd rather die on one of the big ones.

Cloud-based. If a product won't work if my internet dies, or I can't access my data without internet or a subscription, I won't buy it.

If a motorcycle has to be ear-splittingly loud for "safety", then it's too dangerous to be road legal.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 days ago

It's explicitly the opposite, scientifically, according to my safety class

The deep rumble being loud overwhelms anyone's ability to properly locate the bike quickly, and they demonstrated this live. It's definitely harder to locate a LOUDER bike

Probably a slightly higher stair in a staircase one day
