Going old school: Ottawa teen flips the script on smartphones - Gavin MacNeil recently jumped on retro phone trend, mastering multi-tap texting
For some, the very idea of ditching their smartphone might seem impossible, but for MacNeil, a Grade 11 student at École secondaire publique De La Salle, it had to be done."I could feel a huge addiction to my smartphone and social media," he told CBC. "I went to the extreme of getting rid of my [smartphone] completely, and that's what brought me to a flip phone."

Kind of feels like a lot of cities in the US act like it's illegal to build public restrooms.
Do they really think nobody will need to go if they don't build restrooms? :/

If they build public restrooms, someone has to be in charge of maintaining them, or else they get so filthy I'd rather go in a bush.
After having a TFT dash on the Ninja 1000SX I had for a couple years (long since sold), I don't really care either way about having that feature. 🤷♂️ #motorcycle

How Seattle Rejected the Monorail
In 1997, Seattle voters approved a monorail transit system to be built across the city. Beginning as a cab driver's dream and growing into a major civic project, this was on track to become one of the largest systems of its kind in the world. But shortly before breaking ground in 2005, the project collapsed in on itself. This documentary tells the story of how Seattle ended up in this unusual position, and why the city's dream never got off the ground.

correction: cops don't give a shit about *your* property. Property of rich people is a different story.

What if part of the reason for forcing electronics and computers into everything is to intentionally make it not possible for users to work on their own stuff? 0_0

If your for-profit business has ever received a bailout or government subsidy because it can't stay afloat any other way, your business model and/or business practices are broken. >:(
