    I think the diverging diamond interchange is terrible. Because of the crossover, traffic can only cross the interchange in one direction at a time, so most of the traffic in the interchange is not moving most of the time.

    A pair of roundabouts connected to on ramps eliminates the danger of left turns without stopping the majority of traffic most of the time.

    A massive overbuilt interchange that cannot function without traffic lights is the opposite of elegant.


  • Ublock origin’s website says to use ublock origin lite, which is a manifest v3 version that should continue to work albeit not as well.

    Some chromium based browsers will continue supporting v2 extensions. Chromium is said to continue v2 support until June 2025.

    Firefox is the best choice as they have no plans to drop the support ublock origin relies on.









  • The US has laws that bans paying for blood, but they can pay for plasma. All healthcare in the US is a for profit venture.

    If you donate blood in the US, you are the only one in that process who is making a donation. Every other organization in the chain between your donation and the patient who receives it will add a markup for their own profit.

    Organ donations work the same way. If you get killed by a car, and your heart is used to save someone’s life, they will be charged nearly two million dollars for the operation. Not only does your next of kin not get a cut of that two million, your estate will still get a bill for whatever treatment failed to save your life.

    I can think of little that is more unethical than being the only one donating. Plasma is better because the donors are paid. If healthcare is for profit, at minimum the profits should go both ways. Plasma is the one time it does.
