killed by drivers, cars are inanimate objects


Killed semantics includes intentionality (and lack of), while dying by accident clearly removes any intentionality whatsoever.

So it's much more faithful to truth to talk about accidents than by killing, even if both terms are semantically correct.


It’s intentional though see above comment by throw0101c.

I agree that it’s a hard pill to swallow especially if you are US American.

Can you point me to countries that don't deflect agency in accident reporting?

Here's a headline from just today in the UK:

> Man airlifted to hospital after pedestrian hit

First line in of the story:

> A man has been airlifted to hospital after a vehicle hit a pedestrian.


You are right, it’s an international problem.

But from my experience few nations are so dependent on the car as the US. It so very similar in Germany where I’m from but mostly because it’s such an important part of the economy. But in a big city you can easily live without a car. I found this almost impossible in the US.


I might have misunderstood your comment but I don't think that's what htmx does, it just adds reactivity without needing to write JS, the HTML is represented in the project using Hiccup syntax which is essentially HTML in Clojure data structures - makes sense when code is data is a big part of the Lisp idea. It is an external template file into which you can replace fields, it's just a Clojure file too.


My mistake. I mean Hiccup (not Htmx). I prefer the approach of using external template files.


AFAIK, all libraries are loosely coupled in Biff. Swapping out Hiccup / Rum for one of the other HTML templating options should be in "userspace"; straightforwardly so, without the framework maintainers intervention.

No R-EV on this side of the pond either.


Audiotool? I've never used it but it looks relevant: https://www.audiotool.com/


Audiotool is surprisingly capable.



Now I have to wonder if they're going to be confused following a sudden increase in requests.


I'm fairly sure that they do do it in California, San Francisco Sourdough is a whole bread style, they have world-famous bakeries and the crust definitely isn't an issue https://tartinebakery.com/


Archive.org has a bunch of MS-DOS games playable in your browser, Lemmings is one: https://archive.org/details/lemmings_original_ms-dos_201705


While that'd work, keep in mind Lemmings is an Amiga game.

MS-DOS is just one of many ports.


You'd need a amiga floppy compatible reader for the PC[1] and then use an emulator

You'd need a floppy image. It's easier to just download one.

Amigaforever's KB is missing recent developments that make this very easy, e.g. GreaseWeazle.
