Reminds me of the view from Brasstown Bald, but I don't think it is.

wish I was in a big truck for the first time in my life

FYI, big trucks are even worse for being blown around by the wind. The increased weight does not make up for the increased windage.

President Trump mocks former Transportation Secretary : "This guy takes a bike to work ! Can you believe it ?? He rides a bicycle" in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world
[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

The issue here isn't you insulting Trump. The issue here is you antagonizing other users. (That's also the difference between your comment and the one you just reported and why I will not be taking mod action on it, BTW.)

I removed the comments that very clearly broke the rules, and left the ones that were marginal. But being forced to make nuanced decisions about marginal cases like that makes me less and less sympathetic over time, so I'm telling you to quit testing that boundary. You won't get another warning.

You are not entitled to accuse people of things or invalidate their opinion just because they disagree with you, especially when they're pretty justifiably offended. Frankly, your previous comments were really borderline rule-breaking, too, and you're lucky I try to moderate with a light touch. Knock it off.

As someone forced to ride my bike right next to thundering trucks and cars on the roads every day, I can't begin to enumerate how many close calls I've had because there are no bike lanes here. in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

Hmm, one wonders if he grew a sense of self-preservation.

I did that with a level 1 halfling-like* character in my first ever D&D play session. Okay, my character didn't "fly" the enemy off a "cliff," but he hurled himself at it and knocked it off a roof. Almost took another player out too, when the rope he was using as a climbing harness swung around, LOL.

Feds accidentally publish secret plan to kill NYC congestion pricing (gothamist.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/28665588

Lawyers for the federal government briefly published internal correspondence on Wednesday evening detailing a laundry list of flaws in the U.S. Department of Transportation’s legal strategy to shut down the MTA’s congestion pricing tolls.

The document, dated April 11, was mistakenly posted on the docket of the MTA’s federal lawsuit challenging U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s effort to kill the tolls by revoking federal approval. The internal 11-page letter, sent from attorneys in the Southern District of New York to a lawyer for the federal transportation department, was taken down less than an hour after it was erroneously put online. By Thursday afternoon, the attorneys were taken off the case while a transportation department spokesperson speculated they published the document as an act of sabatoge.

It marked a new, bizarre wrinkle in the legal back-and-forth between New York state and the Trump administration over the future of the Manhattan tolls — and sparked yet another round of recrimination within President Donald Trump's justice department.

Three assistant U.S. attorneys wrote in the internal letter that Duffy’s current argument to shut down the tolls isn’t likely to hold up in court. The program was approved under former President Joe Biden through a U.S. DOT pilot program – the Value Pricing Pilot Program – that allows local governments to impose tolls on federally funded roads. Duffy has argued he has the authority to rescind that approval, but the government attorneys were skeptical.

“It is unlikely that Judge [Lewis] Liman or further courts of review will accept the argument that [congestion pricing] was not a statutorily authorized ‘value pricing’ pilot” by the federal government, the letter states. “We have been unable to identify a compelling legal argument to support this position."
