Flagstaff cyclist lucky to be alive after being tossed from his bike by passing RV
  • So we should raise our pitchforks at the everyday normal people who were riding totally legally along the right side of the lane, not more than two abreast, not holding up more than 5 vehicles, when a lunatic in a >5 ton RV decided it would be fine to pass with less than a mirrors width of space at 45 mph?

  • I agree that hitting the cyclist looks unintentional. And very sorry to hear that so many folks in your life have been taken by vehicle accidents.

    When you say that this is, "just an unfortunate accident", it sounds like a defense of the RV drivers poor decision-making that led to very serious injuries of others, hence the downvote.

  • At the very least, Arizona and many other states should require a separate license and training to operate an RV that size.

    And yeah, regardless of vehicle, it was an incredibly stupid (and illegal) decision to pass that closely.

    BTW, AZs 3 ft passing law limits civil penalties to $500 if serious injury is causes, $1000 if death.

    Dont know if the driver could be found negligent in a civil lawsuit?

    What if we made an alternative to everything on Android?
  • It would be nice if Wallet worked. A workaround for probably a pretty small subset of Graphene/degoogled users is to use a Garmin watch compatible with Garmin Pay.

    Splitwise equivalent?
  • I may very well stick with splitwise given that most friends are familiar and there are nice features. Just wanted to know if a Foss alternative can even come close.

  • Any recommendations for a splitwise equivalent for android? An initial search on fdroid only shows apps last updated in 2019. "Split it easy" lacks the ability to split bills paid by multiple people. I also liked the ability to use foreign currency in splitwise.
