Fun fact! SVG is one of those things that is often easy to minify down below your nginx/apache/cdn minimum gzip length. If your SVG files are < ~1kb, it's usually faster to just not gzip them. If they're < ~150b

Lots of people don't realize that 1 cup milk has 13g sugar from the lactose. For comparison, a typical sugar packet is 2-4g. (This is why cereal + milk is probably just about the unhealthiest thing possible to start your day). It'

Hah yeah, it was kind of funny that by the 4th shot, the ER docs and police there knew me as "the rabies guy". I also was told that the immune globulin is a bit complicated because it needs to be prepared specifically for the pers

Oh! I got rabies shots in 2014 after being bitten by a dog. The course of treatment is injections 0day, 3day, 7day, and 14day. I went to the emergency room to get these injections, at the recommendation of my primary doctor. Unfortunately

Hey sorenjan - The OSM Wiki is not correct. We've received no license from Strava that allows tracing outside of their iD fork. Current progress on securing permission to use the heatmap for OSM tracing is happening here: https:/

Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience.. For what it's worth, it sounds like your edit was fine (what you described is actually the preferred way to map divided roads) and should not have caused any issue. I'd love for you to
