Tram stop on my commute has projected warning signs to grab phone zombies' attention

by
antimidas@sopuli.xyz
2 weeks ago

The tram line has been open for about two years now, but people still have trouble remembering the tram has the right of way. Maybe this will help, the audible warning doesn't seem to be enough since many people have headphones (understandable, noise cancelling is a must if the city has any car traffic).

This is the Riitek 06, Bluetooth, backlight, and usb-C rechargable. Pretty cool and can fit in my pocket. This is the older version, but the new one is about the same price $20 but has RGB backlights. The trackpad is nice and the build quality is nice. People say that the battery lasts a while, around 40 hours of more of use, over 100-150 days of standby, and charging seems to take about an hour and a half.

Photo is of two fried eggs in a nonstick pan, the right egg the yolk has broken and the white is distinctly yellow in hue, while the left egg is normal.

I couldn't manage to capture how truly neon yellow the white was, it was almost highlighter colored. The yolk broke super easily, and at first I thought it was rotten, but it had no smell.

Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
