  • This article lacks some details, but I believe this is largely just treating a bicycle more like any other vehicle. As far as vehicle crimes go here, the existence of jail time as a punishment only exists if you don’t pay the fine, and these new laws just increase the fines.

    Anyways, these changes are largely worthless for a couple of reasons. First it’s already a crime to use your phone while riding a bike, or riding drunk, or riding with headphones, but it’s basically totally unenforced. Same thing with riding using an umbrella, but even the police do that here!

    As for drunkards getting home from the bar, they wouldn’t have a car available to them generally, so people riding drunk are usually doing so because they missed their last train, and they don’t want to pay for a taxi.

    Check out the A1 as well, they have some different colour options that are really nice.

    I have some Pilot vanishing points, and I still bought a yellow A1 since it’s such a beautiful shade of glossy yellow that I couldn’t find from Pilot. Also I was able to use my Pilot calligraphy nib with it, since they’re compatible (and I think that nib alone cost about 3-4 times the price of the Mahjohn lol).




  • Maybe I’m out of the loop, but I was under the impression people paying for the enterprise tier were largely using the model on their own hardware, and that the removal of this tier was largely just rent seeking by SD against people improving on their model and selling access to a better version.

    Did SD really sell unlimited access to their compute/ image generator for a fixed price? If so that’s just so dumb it’s hard to believe. I only started paying attention to the company recently though, so maybe I’m missing something.
