Oh boy, he said pal, I think you are in trouble, mister.

On-street parking can be very dangerous for bicyclerider (doorings accidents), the people getting out of their car on the street and for people wanting to cross the road, as they can’t be seen well between parked cars - espacially children. And it takes space away that could be used for real bike lanes and wide enough side walks.

If people want to own a car, they should park it on their property. If they don’t have space for it, they shouldn’t (have to) own a car.

Charging the residents to park on the side doesn’t work well, it is often way to cheap, compared to the luxury car owners get.

Isn’t the movie Hancock a bit in this direction?

Exactly, I don’t understand the downvotes. If something as big as a car is only used 5 % of the time, the headline shouldn’t be how we can waste more resources on this useless item, but how we can reduce those items and increase the usage time.

We should and I will.

That’s beautiful, thanks!

Does anyone know those tony boxes for kids? It’s a box with a speaker, and if you put a little figure (a bit like a playmobile character) on it, it plays an audio book as long as the little figure stands on it.

I really want to build it myself, but I have done 0 research yet. But every now and then a thought plopps up, like ‘I could use NFC tags to trigger the box start playing’, ‘I have an old raspberryPi somewhere’, ‘is it even possible to build a good sounding speaker in this size?’,…

But no time to follow up on those thoughts.

Would you start with big scarry teeth and draw the rest of the monster around that? Or start with the shape and worry about details later?
