Tourist cities should have hotel rooms by the hour that are actually clean when you just want to take a nap.

    German take: Parking on the side of the road and on sidewalks should just be banned.
    Its legality is based on a single court case from the 1950’s where a judge decided that it should be a legal use of public space, because it’s necessary and useful for motorizing the country. The justfication is obsolete. It’s not enshrined in any laws. The traffic law specifically forbids it, with exceptions.
    Yet it’s practiced everywhere and even where parked cars block sidewalks, police simply don’t enforce the law.

    “But where should I park?”
    You should have thought of that before buying a car.

    “But what about rural areas where you need a car to live?”
    No problem here, just park it on your turnip field.

    All gamepads that have it having a BAXY control scheme. That’s B right, A down, X left, Y up for the buttons on the right side of the gamepad. I can’t tell you how many times I have pressed the wrong buttons when playing certain games all because the 3rd party switch controller I have uses ABYX or because I don’t remember where the symbols are on a PlayStation controller. Dreamcast and original Xbox had their shit together with how they used BAXY for their controllers and to this day I may shit on Microsoft, but not on the BAXY control scheme on their gamepads.

        Purely preference. That, and I’ve spent about a million times more time on an xbox360 than just about any other console in existence, so it’s what I personally consider the best way. If you or someone you know uses any other way, that’s your deal, but I just can’t retrain myself to like any other format.

          It’s not, though. The person I replied to is saying that the lowest button of the cluster should be A, whereas the SNES standard puts B in that spot.

    Something I have discussed before aside, a communication reform would be nice. The world of language is way too chaotic, with too many people who think their way of communicating should be universal and not enough people with that opinion questioning how they can change theirs in the name of efficiency/sufficiency.

      Most every mall in Asian countries I’ve visited has this system already. This may just be a North America being cheap problem.

        Some North American malls have them.

        The problem is that a lot of American malls are in decline and can barely afford to keep the escalators working, let alone install these lights.

      I have seen these in airport parking garages - green when the spot is empty, red when occupied and visible from the end of the aisle.

      What really blew my mind was seeing the exact same functionality for stalls in the restroom.

      The image sensor is square… it should just shoot 1:1 scale and let you crop it to an orientation later

        Most image sensors are not square, they are 4:3 or 16:9. Square sensors are typically used for more specialty applications.

        I agree it could be useful on a phone to have 1:1 sensors, but I would still support the direct recording to standard video resolutions and aspect ratios as otherwise encoder limitations will affect what video you can shoot.

    I’ve got a few:

    • In addition to fluoride, water supplies should be dosed with small amounts of lithium. Maybe LSD, too.
    • Incel bounties: Anyone who has trouble getting laid can check into a facility where they are assigned a bounty equal to a set rate times the days they’ve spent in the facility. They can leave any time, but the clock restarts if they come back. Volunteers may show up and offer to have sex with a participant. If the participant agrees and the deed is done, the bounty gets split between the volunteer and the participant.
    • Hard rationing of greenhouse gas emissions: every year everyone gets issued an equal amount of GHG vouchers that, in total, represent a safe amount of GHGs that can be emitted that year. Fossil fuel companies then need to buy these vouchers on the market and turn them into the government in order to get permission to extract the representative amount of fossil fuels. Doing so without permission would carry a severe penalty. This concept could be applied to water supplies, fisheries, and other resources as well.
    • Imputed rent as taxable income instead of flat property or wealth taxes.
    • No fares for urban public transit. Instead, a special property tax should be applied to real estate inversely proportional to its walking distance from transit stops.
    • Reintroduce wolves to suburban areas to keep the deer under control.
    • Electric airships instead of fossil fuel powered passenger jets.
    • Nuclear power plants within or adjacent to urban centers, especially in colder climate regions.
    • Gray water recovery built into homes and municipal water systems.
    • Urine collection programs for phosphate recovery.

      Hard rationing of greenhouse gas emissions

      You’re more or less describing cap-and-trade, where corporations have a limit of carbon emissions as ‘credits’ which can be traded on a market. So a company that doesn’t produce as much emissions can sell their surplus credits to another company, so the market as a whole doesn’t exceed a set amount of CO2 emissions. As it stands, in this or other carbon tax based systems, people pay for emissions in the form of sales tax on CO2 producing products.

      wolves

      I’d imagine they’d just leave again eventually. If suburbia was an advantageous place for them, they’d already be there.

      Nuclear power plants within or adjacent to urban centers, especially in colder climate regions.

      Nuclear plants are somewhat geographically restricted to needing to be close to a suitable water source, there’s plenty that are next to or inside metropolitan areas. That being said, high voltage transmission means that a plant can still be a few tens of kms outside of a city before transmission losses start to add up. Also, small-scare reactors have been under development for use in remote communities.

      Gray water recovery built into homes and municipal water systems.

      Any sort of dirty water recovery is more efficient at the municipal scale, and plenty of towns are already doing that.

      Urine collection programs for phosphate recovery.

      Seems that’s not a super easy thing to do (read expensive), but there’s research being done… also apparently, a good portion of it in wastewater is from laundry soap… but as in the above, more efficient to just collect all wastewater and process it on a large scale.

    There’s this suit of useful little programs called Microsoft PowerToys, I always thought it should include a tool that allows you to quickly swap the contents of monitors around in multi-monitor setups.

    e.g. move all open windows from monitor 1 to monitor 2 and vice-versa, while retaining their (approximate) position.

    This may already be a thing, I haven’t really checked.

        That’s only useful though if someone looking for this function also happens to be looking for a tiling window manager. I assume most people needing this don’t want a tiling window manager.

    I’d like citizenship swapping services. Some people just don’t wanna stay stuck to their country of birth, especially if renouncing that citizenship is literally impossible (I’m Moroccan, and according to Moroccan law I’ll stay that way to my own detriment, even if I get another citizenship which thankfully is possible).

      I bring this up regularly. Trading a doctor for a doctor seems like a fair enough trade & many folks want mobility. The irony of “if you don’t like it here, then leave” being met with your & other nations making it exceedingly difficult to do that. I know several folks would love to have my US passport but where I am at, I would get a lot more value & ease in having a local passport form entry to nearby countries, to visa woes + residency, to opening accounts (dealing with the IRS+SEC means many, many places refuse service), dual pricing, & actually getting some semblence of integration.

      It’s called a B Corp in the US. A public benefit company. It’s for profit, but with a mission. Doctor Bronner’s and Newman’s Own are the two that come to mind.

          You don’t want that, the controlls of the original C&C franchise was terrible.

          Left click to both select and order units and right click just clear the selection?

    After an impromptu upscale bar/lounge crawl with the wifey the other day…

    A shoe that can easily go back and forth from high heel/wedge to comfortable flats w/o much, if any, tooling or carrying around extra parts. She also brought a clutch purse

    Wifey was dead the next day from foot pain of walking between places.
