So some facts here:

  • Commercial truck carrying gravel
  • This was a rebuilt bridge, not a historic one
  • The owner of the construction company has proactively offered to pay for repairs
  • Yes, the driver is am idiot and made a mistake, and is probably going to hear about it for the rest of their lives.

Go back to site directories.

Curate your news feed.

Stop using a single corporate search engine.

Participate in online social communities, not in social media.

Years and years ago I worked on a project where the logo was the outline of a head and an inward swirl for the brain.

For the website, if you held your mouse over it for 9 seconds, it would spin and flush. No one ever found that one that I know of.

While genetics certainly plays a role, never, ever, let age be an excuse. Plenty of people either start, or continue to be active, well into their later years. Heck there’s a pro mountain biker who consistently places top 5 nearing 40.

And if you can’t be active, there a tons of sedentary hobbies, too. Life is a series of experiences, enjoy them while, and whenever, you can.

You seem pretty active with OSM, so I’ll propose this here since I don’t have time to make it.

OSM is very, very popular with hikers and cyclists, and I’d argue rhey drive a lot of it’s use, especially via third-party systems. However, it’s one failing is “gravel” roads. While they support many different gravel road types, they admit on their Wiki that use of the proper terms is low.

Given the heavy use of Garmin devices, especially among gravel cyclists, mountain bikers, and bikepackers, where terrain definition is important, it would be outstanding to have an app in the Garmin store for Edge devices that could report the exact terrain type (compacted, dirt, etc) with a button mash as you ride it.

This is why I switched from Ubuntu to Debian.
