Yay for my city that plows the sidewalks before the streets. I can't find the reference now but there was a good study about the health and safety benefits of prioritizing sidewalks. It's a feminist and anti-ableism issue.

#snow #Longueuil #DogsOfMastodonBTW if anybody can send me the link to that study, I'll include it in a thank you and encouragement email to the city. To help them stay strong in case there are drivers complaining because they think it should be the streets first.

Voilà ce que je viens d'écrire à la ville:
Bonjour,
Je voulais écrire en reconnaissance du travail de déneigement à Longueuil. Vous le savez surement déjà, puisque vous mettez la priorité sur le déneigement des trottoirs : c’est meilleur pour la santé et sécurité de toustes. Je suis toujours contente de me réveiller en hiver et voir que ma ville suit les meilleurs pratiques.

To those drivers you can reply that to clean the sidewalks before the streets is fundamental, to make enough space to store the snow removed from the street.

@GustavinoBevilacqua seriously! It's an issue here.

Not difficult to understand!
And to pack all the excess of snow on large ships and to send it to Tehran, where soon they must evacuate the town because there is no more water¹, doesn't seem a feasible idea.

@GustavinoBevilacqua
On the other hand, it might be feasible to store snow for use in summer:

BTW, that was made since 1780 BCE in Mesopotamia…

@kimlockhartga little baby snowplows. They're adorable, and sidewalk sized. I'll try to get a picture next time I happen to be outside when they pass.

One baby snow plow, coming right up -
@kimlockhartga
One baby snow plow, coming right upI think being the sidewalk plow person would be an excellent job, although there’s probably some rivalries with the road plow guys, everyone pushing snow onto the other person's territory.
I wonder if you'd get fired for plowing too much? Like I know places in our area that could use a sidewalk, so maybe just start plowing them on the side. -

Our neighborhood has some streets without sidewalks and I just can't even.

@dillyd @kimlockhartga There's folks without cars that walk the half mile or so to get groceries. The areas they walk get buried under snow and ice by passing plows

@francina1909 ma la domanda corretta è?
Perché ci facciamo mille menate quando la nostra esistenza è una briciola nell'universo ?
Fra 10-20-30 anni non ci saremo più, fra 100 non saremo nemmeno ricordati, quindi godiamo del ora e adesso, siamo troppo piccoli per avere un impatto, pure minimo, su qualsiasi cosa. Tutto quello che ci fa stare bene è buono, quello che ci sta fare male è male, a prescindere.
Il resto serve solo ad ingrassare le tasche dei psicoanalisti...

Proseguono gli scontri lungo il conteso confine tra Thailandia e Cambogia in quello che è un conflitto che da decenni si trascina su una frontiera mai completamente delimitata. A luglio un’altra

Designing a Simpler Cycloidal Drive
Cycloidal drives have an entrancing motion, as well as a few other advantages – high torque and efficiency, low backlash, and compactness among them. However, much as [Sergei Mishin] likes them, it can be difficult to 3D-print high-torque drives, and it’s sometimes inconvenient to have the input and output shafts in-line. When, therefore, he came across a video of an industrial three-ring reducing drive, which works on a similar principle, he naturally designed his own 3D-printable drive.
The main issue with 3D-printing a normal cycloidal drive is with the eccentrically-mounted cycloidal plate, since the pins which run through its holes need bearings to keep them from quickly wearing out the plastic plate at high torque. This puts some unfortunate constraints on the size of the drive. A three-ring drive also uses an eccentric drive shaft to cause cycloidal plates to oscillate around a set of pins, but the input and output shafts are offset so that the plates encompass both the pins and the eccentric driveshaft. This simplifies construction significantly, and also makes it possible to add more than one input or output shaft.
As the name indicates, these drives use three plates 120 degrees out of phase with each other; [Sergei] tried a design with only two plates 180 degrees out of phase, but since there was a point at which the plates could rotate just as easily in either direction, it jammed easily. Unlike standard cycloidal gears, these plates use epicycloidal rather than hypocycloidal profiles, since they move around the outside of the pins. [Sergei] helpfully wrote a Python script that can generate profiles, animate them, and export to DXF. The final performance of these drives will depend on their design parameters and printing material, but [Sergei] tested a 20:1 drive and reached a respectable 9.8 Newton-meters before it started skipping.
Even without this design’s advantages, it’s still possible to 3D-print a cycloidal drive, its cousin the harmonic drive, or even more exotic drive configurations.

@mathewi@journa.host I'd say less that the social web is dying, it's quite alive and well on the Fediverse.
I'd argue that the social web as it currently stands is being abandoned by the very companies that made it.

@filippodb @lalchimistadigitale @spettacoli beh già nel 1985 non è che fosse così al top. È una produzione italiana al risparmio e non sono neppure così sicuro che abbia mai visto la pelle di un tamburo. Ma il groove, anche se sintetico, funziona e il ritmo vagamente in controtempo potrebbe addirittura ricordare (bestemmio) Blue Monday dei New Order

@fucinafibonacci @lalchimistadigitale @spettacoli quindi il buon sandy lo piazzava ano a caso con batteria o pianola a tracolla a seconda del progetti tanto era tutto in playback anche questo credo...
Però invecchiato malissimo il video.
