You talking about Powell? Gladstone and Cesar Chavez? Burnside and MLK? There are so damn many intersections that cyclists have died at

Unless I’m mistaken I would say that it’s the other way around, Morse code is more like a human readable machine language expressed in binary because the 26 character alphabet is expressed in different binary values, much like ASCII.

This is a weird meme to me. Have you ever made something like a simple accumulator machine out of logic gates, OP? You literally just program them in binary, although usually the instructions are expressed in hexadecimal. You make your own instruction set. When we did ours in Compsci foundations I just decided that 0x06 was going to be my jump at negative instruction. I could have wired the logic so that instruction was at a different value, it’s literally possible to make your own instruction set, then your own assembly language, and then your own compiler, and your own programming language. People, mostly women at first, did this for every new computer their institution built at first.

As racist as the Dutch are, they sure have it right when it comes to building bicycle centered infrastructure, and Dutch Bros really is the opposite of that. The vibe of the place really fits the chain’s hometown of Grants Pass, OR though, which is a CHUD town pretending to be hip, laid-back and outdoorsy.

Yeah but what do we do with all the steel, rubber, aluminum, & plastic involved in all these cars?
