I used to have scripts like that, but eventually switched to ssh aliases. You can set up an alias for each machine in ~/.ssh/config with lines like this:

Host p1
    HostName 192.168.1.123
    Port 22
    User pi

Then access with ssh p1. Slightly more typing, but avoids adding more commands to your $PATH. Also has the benefit of letting you use the same alias with other ssh-related commands like sftp.

Automatics also allow for engine braking. From a quick search, it sounds like a toss-up as to whether that triggers brake lights. Regardless, the article mentions the benefit is not only from cars slowing down, but also from indicating that a car is preparing to stop or "that a stationary vehicle might initiate movement". Neither of those can be done by an engine brake, so front brake lights would still have a benefit even with a driver that likes engine braking.

Oddly enough, that convention isn't universal. Top-to-bottom is typical in the US, UK, and Commonwealth, while bottom-to-top is common in continental Europe and non-anglophone Americas.

I feel like you may have misunderstood the article. It's talking about how support is increasing for dedicated Copy keys, and that programmable keyboards make it easy to use dedicated Copy keys. The article does not mention changing the behaviour of Ctrl-C.

I know of an OpenSCAD alternative called CadQuery, but as the name suggests, it's still CAD focused. I wonder if scripting Blender itself would get you closer to what you're looking for.

I find this article confusing. It's about "measures to reduce our economic vulnerability to American antagonism", but I can't see how improving the legal system or adding platform doors to the TTC are related to that. Perhaps the author is confusing economic resilience with economic stimulus?

I feel like she's trying hard to distance herself from Trudeau, but after years being right beside him, I doubt she can shake it that easily.

Note the article is from two months ago, on October 10, but it's still relevant. I was confused when I saw Chrystia Freeland quoted.

You can only pardon someone who was convicted of a crime.

I don't believe that's true. See the pardon of Richard Nixon, who was never even impeached, let alone charged. I believe there's some debate on the validity of such a pardon, but none (including Nixon's pardon) have been challenged in court.

The comic was released the day after the election, by an author who lives in the United States. I suspect the comic is explicitly about American politics.

Months after cancelling the construction contract for a new downtown pedestrian bridge in the face of “unforeseen challenges,” city officials have called off the project altogether.

As stated in a post on the city’s website on Friday, plans to build a bridge over the Speed River connecting The Ward with Downtown Guelph have been scrapped. Instead, city officials will look for ways to include pedestrian flow into another nearby project over the river.

 

This is the first time Guelph is will have a multi-year budget. This one will cover 2024 through 2027. The city is soliciting feedback through town halls and council meetings, since a long-term budget will have a significant impact on the city.

 

Two workshops are planned to learn more and share ideas: first online on November 9, second in-person on November 14. More opportunities to get involved will come in January.

 

A pedestrian bridge is being planned over the Speed River, between Emma St and Earl St, just south of Speedvale. The city wants feedback on two concept designs for the bridge.

 

Program schedules can be seen now at recenroll.ca

 

There will be four speed enforcement cameras, rotating between different locations, all by schools. The first four locations will be:

  • Westwood Road, in front of Westwood Road Public School
  • Colonial Drive, in front of St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic School
  • Metcalfe Street, in front of King George Public School
  • Ironwood Drive, in front of Fred A. Hamilton Public School
