Yeah, I have no idea where this “largest by a factor of 2" info ever came from.

It’s not the largest rocket ever launched by man, that honor goes to the Saturn V that launched the Apollo capsules to lunar orbit, the Falcon Heavy is merely the largest in current production and use. Nothing yet has surpassed the Saturn V.

Actually, I think it is going to be in helio centric orbit not Mars orbit, but at a distance that intercepts with Mars orbit...

This is one of those ‘you guys ruined it for yourselves’ things. If you didn’t shit all over my storefront after waking up I wouldn’t need (or want) the strips.

Good on these designers. I mean lets be real, if you need to take a seat there is the ground. If you wont sit on the ground you can use one of the many benches in these photos. You know the ones designed for sitting and not taking a nap.

it doesn’t actually do anything to eradicate homelessness, while threatening the lives of already very vulnerable people. If, for example, you see a person huddled on a bench in 10-degree weather, you could call the authorities so they could be taken to a hospital.

I agree, most of the “hostile design” around here is there to deter skateboarders.

Precisely. Most of these things are there as a response to a problem that hinders the use by the most people or creates an unsanitary/destructive condition. Plus at least one thing they show is there for the protection of pedestrians, an example being the metal poles that prevent someone from driving a car into a…

I am so tired of the shaming of these installations. They’re usually put in place to address an existing safety/health or damage problem on PRIVATE PROPERTY. Even in instances where they’re used or sanctioned by the city it’s totally understandable.

Most of the images on this dumbass hashtag aren’t even geared towards…

Not going to lie, a lot of the stuff they showcase I find genius. A lot of the things they show are to reduce skateboard damage, which last I checked skateboarding isn’t a human right, and people who damage property as a result of it rarely ever pay to fix it.

Anyone bother to look at their gallery..? They are making HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE leaps to make things that either likely arent or 100% arent “hostile…

I pursued the linked site and frankly, I’m not so bothered by the designs meant to discourage skateboarding. This one is particuarly ingenius.

I see what you’re saying. It’s mind boggling how many people don’t “get” Chromecast when I explain it to them. Some people REALLY like typing things out with arrow buttons for some reason.

Communication is SO KEY on this stuff. My husband is great about this, and checks in with me about everything - because he wants to and it’s good to have a sounding board. Want to refi the car loan so we can get the better credit union rate? Let’s chat about the pros, cons, and available options. Are we OK paying down…

Yes. That’s not a perfect model either, but it’s a start.

You mean like Microsoft are now doing with continuous rolling updates to Windows 10?

I really wish software companies would move beyond the numbered/named releases for their products and just work on the ongoing, continual improvement of their products, period. And sometimes that will involve new features and sometimes it won’t. Like, why does Apple have to launch a splashy new iOS *every September*?…

I have both google assistant and google maps on iPhone. In fact, in ios, you can now delete apple maps (I have) and you can use google assistant for your voice needs... On android phones, google based services are pushed. It makes sense for a company to want to push their in-house brand. Google pushes google maps as…

It’s just so much easier with a single account. But maybe I am lucky that I am very controlling about and like to stay on top of everything, including finances, while my husband is more than happy to not have to worry about any of it. So while we talk about how much we have and any worries or excitement openly, I…
