I didn’t know that Italians and french had the same language, traditions and skin color. I had assumed that there had been riots in the streets when Italy joined the ECSC in 1951.
You’re totally right, but I hate the whole “Sweden/Europe was ethnically homogeneous” line that centrists say.
It’s worse than the existing interchange. This is a one-more-lane project that makes the neighborhood worse for bicylists and pedestrians.
The project will implement a Diverging Diamond Interchange design that will significantly improve traffic flow and safety, while reducing congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. At the end of the project, it will be both safer and easier for motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists to access and navigate.
This project will relieve congestion and improve traffic flow on local streets, improve the existing interchange and intersection operations, improve the safety of local streets, and increase capacity of the local roadway network to support future growth. See the Updates tab for related Project Documents.

It just seems strange to portray highway interchanges in a positive light. Like, they might be the safest interchange for stroads intersecting an interstate, but that’s kinda like putting a $25M bandaid on a bullet wound.
I’m not sure if there’s any safe way to have level crossings for bicycles and pedestrians across highway ramps. The safe ones are almost always underpasses or overpasses. There’s a bicycle path in Stockholm at the end of a highway ramp as it merges onto a 50 km/h road, and I’m terrified to use it.
Together we’re advancing initiatives focused on creating safer, more efficient travel options for all modes of transportation, from vehicles to bicycles to pedestrians
They spent $25M not making travel safer for bicycles and pedestrians, and explicitly making travel less efficient by inducing car demand. $25M could buy Caltrans an entire set of one of their new Stadler kiss trains, to go from 24 trains sets to 25.
edit: Actually this intersection is more dangerous than the existing intersection. It doubles the amount of pedestrian signals that pedestrians have to cross, and eliminates the sidewalk on the east side. Plus, they’re cutting down like 8 trees and not replacing them. This is urban decay.
Theyre extremely car-centric, space-inefficient, wildly expensive, and don’t do anything to solve traffic.
Those aren’t bicycle lanes, they’re clear zones to protect drivers so they won’t hit a tree or a pole and ding their $100k truck.
All that could happen is that they kill a bicyclist and drag them for a few hundred feet, but that washes off.
In the past two years, I have had horrible issues where it decides that I’m not allowed to join the call because I have a Teams account logged into a different organization, that it won’t let me log out of. An issue where Microsoft servers just time out if you have ipv6 enabled, etc.
Don’t get me started on Skype for Business. It’s still around.
bad summary
Chinese police have also offered little information about the 62-year-old attacker beyond saying the man — identified only by his surname of Fan — was upset about his divorce settlement.
Much more likely to get run over in a crosswalk in the us than in Europe. American drivers don’t stop. The amount of overengineered zebra crossings in the US are crazy.
IT folk got so annoyed about being asked about what happens if you got run over by a bus, they decided to go out and show everyone.
“Shell has a responsibility to reduce its emissions,” but everyone involved is abdicating their responsibility and handwaving away the idea of emissions reductions?? How else will Shell reduce emissions by 45% if Shell doesn’t reduce emissions by 45%?
Slavery is wrong, period.
I mean Putin’s soldiers, not Russian speakers.
Go for it!
Hetzner currently doesn’t have a managed kubernetes option, so you have to set it up manually with Terraform, but there are a few terraform modules out there that have everything you need. The rumor is that they are working on a managed kubernetes offering, so that will be something simpler in the future.
Their api is compatible with all the Kubernetes automation, so all the autoscaling stuff is all automatic once you have it set up, and bullet-proof. Just use the k8s HPA to start and stop new containers based on cpu, or prometheus metrics if youre feeling fancy, and then kubernetes node autoscaler will create and delete nodes automatically for you based on your containers’ cpu/ram reservations.
Let me know if you need documentation links for something.
For the firewall issue, could you keep the cluster on its own vpc, and then use load balancer annotations to do per-service firewalls?

No NATO country has expressed concern about being nuked. This is a question of geopolitics, not military strategy.
I understand why Democrats are falling back on arguments like this in the face of open facism, but it’s fitting that this week is the the 86th anniversary of the kristallnacht pogrom. Somebody tell Hitler and Goebbels not to dehumanize and attack all those jews, because it would be, like, totally bad for the economy or something.
The point of Trump’s rhetoric against immigrants is to dehumanize them and scapegoat them for all of the US’s problems. We do the same here in Sweden, when our politicans say we’re being “naiive”, and we call immigrants disloyal to Sweden, welfare frausters, and terrorists. We accuse their culture of being anti-democratic, sexist, and promoting child abuse. We scapegoat them for our crime issues, antisemitism issues, and impoverished neighborhoods.
Just the first step in dehumanizing an entire 1M+ group of people.
Their Terraform support is top notch too, better than AWS.
Transportation planning is a local issue, not a national issue. Obviously national funding plays a role, but you don’t need national funding for sidewalks and bike infrastructure. Vallejo’s local and state government representatives are all Democrats.
