The term would be Latin then.

Roman is specific to the city/kingdom/Republic/empires. Latin is the tern for the culture they had/left behind.

Edit: usually

I used to live ontop of a grocer.

If I didnt know what to make for dinner, I’d start preheating the stove, then walk down to buy dinner.

Still had to wait for the oven to finish preheating when I got back up.

That’s true for trucks and taxis. Not so much for personal transportation.

My favourite photo from the article.

Thankfully we see a good samaritain providing some aid to the casualty.

We also see a cop talking to the driver IN THE CAR. If someone was assaulted with a baseball bat, I would home the cop would take away the bat before talking to them.

How that driver is allowed to stay in the vehicle is assanine to me.

Citizens?

Canada public safety recommends 72 hours of self sufficiency.

My in-laws live remote/rural, so they’re closer to 5 days.

Being ready for the apocalypse is a little strange. Being ready for a snowstorm/flood/bridge collapse is normal.

Yeah, and that just capital costs.

With the same Ottawa example, a sidewalk isn’t much cheaper than a road in in operating costs, but a pathway is nearly nothing.

That’s based on paths getting little to no snow and ice clearing.

Its also only a partial story as “damage done” doesn’t directly relate to actual costs.

Take Ottawa as an example

Transitway is nothing but buses all day long, and that has an amortized annual cost of $42,100 per lane/km/year.

A local road that sees a couple hundred car trips a day costs $14,122 per lane/km/yr.

So that’s 3× the capital cost for way way way more vehicles at 1-3,000x the “damage” per vehicle.

Bicycle lanes an amortized captial cost of around $5-1000 per lane/km/year (this number is REALLY hard to peg down due to all the different ways cities account for bike infrastructure and the type of infrastructure it is).

So a bike lane is somewhere between 14 to 3000x less expensive than a local road, despite 160,000x less “damage”

Bench / street art.

Tax by the mass of vehicles with the 4th cube law, as that’s the damage they due to roads.

I’d recommend $10/year for bicycles.

It’s all the orange

I did my all my PMP hours and studying during my 40 minute subway commute.

So get more traffic into active and public transportation. Then there will be less traffic to annoy drivers.

Very controversial, transit should also be on that list.

The ones behind you won’t

We don’t even need to do new; lots of the world has proven and new trials on safe streets ongoing.

the cost of bringing just 1 road up to safer standards is more than operating a dozen cameras

Absolutely. It also makes sense to wait for the 20 or 45 year mill and resurface or utility repair so that you aren’t tearing up a road for nothing*.

That said, you can also narrow a road with paint in 1-2 years by adjayting existing lines for zero new dollars.

Were also still building NEW roads with standards we know are unsafe. It costs 0 dollars on a new road.

*by nothing I mean finacial costs, not the human life and limb costs.

Swap windows home server for server on the last page and you’re done.

Until your kid is 7/8, then you need to explain why one server isn’t enough and you need a second server somewhere else for the same reasons it shows a server being important when the computer gets pee on it.

Hard to say, I don’t know how EU ETD minimums and individual member states works.

That also wouldn’t cover any externality costs from something like a heavy or large EV.

Bring in vehicle weight, vehicle displacement, and engine displacement annual fees at the same time.

Want an asshole vehicle? Fine, pay extra for your externalities of a heavy vehicle, large engine, and/or large vehicle.

All bike infrastructure is car infrastructure.

We wouldn’t need any bike infrastructure if we just limited all roads to 30kph.
