  • In the town I grew up was a tailor who only sold jeans and would fit them to you right there. Every single woman I knew went there for pants because you could get pockets put in and a proper fit. I still have three pairs.

  • I'm a millenial, too. Even I use my phone or computer to tell time more often than anything. Before smart phones we had some solid years relying on wall clocks and watches. It was a skill we kept using after we learned it, unlike a lot of kids who haven't needed to flex that muscle since they were taught.

  • That's more a people problem than a lemmy problem. Anyone can make as many instances as they can afford and as many communities as they like.

    I don't see the comparison between spez and the admins, Lemmy is a much different model from reddit.

    For as much as I post, I only had two mod actions against me I felt were disproportionate, which is pretty good considering there is no way for anyone to make 100% good decisions all the time. Otherwise good people can flame out and bad people can still be fair mods.

    I didn't like a couple of the big news coms, so I made my own. Build the things you want to see, because you are the fediverse as long as you're on it.

  • Tried that. They send cops to escort the psyche nurses, they absolutely get in the way. Ended up traumatizing my buddy even more, he jumped out the window. We didn't see him for four days.

  • Depends on the hospital. I've had a couple friends genuinely enjoy their stays and claim it helped them get better faster, on the other hand, doctors have warned me about others.

  • Because of this, I looked into whether the Canadian governments and municipalities had some kind of copyright, but couldn't find anything except laws against interfering with traffic. Enforcing a ban on making your own signs would be way more tedius than just saying "Don't fuck with traffic" anyway.

    And yeah, you're right, there are signs like those all over private lots and around businesses. There's nothing special about the government ones.

  • There's totally a reason to check things like that. If there were any accidents or reports of issues it would be investigated. If it was a common hazard, cops might even set up a trap to catch cars making illegal turns.

  • Never said it was cool. It's not cool to make shit up to support an argument.

    I worked for the government. I had a six month contract with Department of Justice on the massive influx of files shortly after red light cameras went up in our area. I filed traffic tickets, too.

    One file that stuck with me was a commuter who accrued multiple speeding tickets over a few days in an area I knew well, because it transitioned from the highway to a residential area in like, no time, and the RCMP had set up a speed trap before the new speed sign. It's not clear it's residential because it's a forest on one side with a huge hill between the road and the houses on the other. He went to court to ask for a sign to be put up closer to the highway or the speed trap to be moved up the road. They didn't do either.

    The lib thing is such a weird lemmy meme. Like tankies, they're responsible for everything wrong in the feed.

  • Any department of transportation isn't going to have their own print department, as far as I know. They contract out print jobs like that since the equipment and expertise to produce at scale are prohibitively expensive for just one client. As I've seen, that kind of job uses laser-etched plates on rollers with different plates for each colour. Pantone inks, probably. So they need the laser machine, a printer the size of a small apartment, the licensing, and all the materials, just for signs.

    The reflective coating is just a simple laminated layer.

    Source: Worked at a printers and toured a couple screenprinting shops who had contracts with the city. We'd print anything as long as someone paid and sent the correct filetype.

  • Uh... all I said was that I worked for the government. You're just making up your own little world over there, aren't you? This argument is moot since I can't anticipate everything you're gonna think up in imagination land. Kinda hard to argue against things no one said.
