[–] uis@lemm.ee 22 points 2 years ago (3 children) We had to spend about a month mapping the city to figure out WHERE THE FUCK SHE COULD GET ON AND OFF THE SIDEWALK. Wow. It even worse than my shithole. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) Dude it gets worse. They installed decorative boulders on our sidewalk instead of adding ramps. The stones were SANDSTONE AND IMMEDIATELY ERODED. It was pointless, got in the way, and cost tax payer money. The boulders used to take up 1/3 of the walk way, so I'm happy they're being weatherd. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago Jesus christ who is in charge of this, lol. I'm so sorry. That sounds frustrating as hell, I really have no good words. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Xylian@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Just make it national law to follow an industry standard that includes ramps everywhere a intentional transition between roads or entrances to properties are. Germany has DIN 18317 and DIN 18318 for that. DIN = Deutsche Industrie Norm (German industry standard) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] uis@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Same with GOSTs here. GOST = ГОСТ = (Меж)государственный Стандарт = (Inter)national Standard Was just National Standard during USSR. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Wait you used both Latin and Cyrillic scripts to describe that. Are they both used in former Soviet countries? Are the Cyrillic words phonetically closer to what GOST would sound like? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] uis@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago Are they both used in former Soviet countries? I'm trying to understand your question. Latin and Cyrillic scripts? Depends on language. In Russian only Cyrillic. Polish I think uses Latin. Are the Cyrillic words phonetically closer to what GOST would sound like? GOST is transliteration of ГОСТ. International Standard is translation. Or Interstate Standard if "государство" is translated as state. permalink fedilink source parent [–] poopkins@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago For a second, I thought you had quoted a different paragraph. permalink fedilink source parent
