      I am a contributor and I frequently bow out of decisions and because it gets pretty brutal.

      But I feel like a ant compared to giants because their conversations go way over my head.

        I’m glad I am not the only one that feels this way. I have a ton of edits under my belt but I feel completely out of touch with what gets talking about on the forums and Slack.

      As an aside, I will say that the examples from the OSM Overpass API are pretty nifty for other applications. For example, I once wanted to find the longest stretch of road within city limits that does not have a stop sign or traffic light, in order to fairly assess ebike range by running back and forth until out-of-battery. I knew at the time that OSM had the data, but I didn’t know it could be queried in such a way. Would have saved me some manual searching, as well as broadening to include rural roads just outside the city.

    I don’t see a problem with this, seems perfectly reasonable an API that let’s you query whatever you want. By drawing attention to this you might get some “easily offendable people” to notice OSM and make a fuzz about this which will result in a worse API for everybody.

    Always knew my unrelated OSM API key was useful for something. LOL

    As a side note, OSM does trails in parks and the like with exquisite detail, much better than Google Maps. Just in case.

    I’m probably missing something obvious, but what does distance from a highway ramp have to do with a bank being robbable?

        Surely it would be better to get to a multi-storey car park? Can’t be followed by helicopter. Lots of vehicles to transfer to, or stash to money in to return to later.

        A highway seems a great way to get caught. Limited exits. Very visible.

      You need the highway section of the mission to shoot the cops while the NPC is driving.

    Move over bitches, I am the getaway driver here. You think I jest? Tell me, are you afraid of doing 120 into oncoming traffic? Have you ever raced a cop up an on-ramp like it’s a drag strip? How many flashing lights have you lost by completely disregarding your passengers cries of panic and just saying “I’ve got this, hold the fuck on” swerving across 6 lanes at [redacted], whipping out on a surface street, and ducking into a fast-food restaurant drive-thru, smooth as fuck? Pfft, I bet you’ve never even drawn up plans for a minigun installed on the top of a prius - because if you don’t lose them in the first couple minutes, it’s not speed you need, it’s endurance. And a fucking minigun, duh.

    Told you, I’m the getaway driver for this job. 😎

    And? This is like looking up hammers that don’t leave fingerprints on the grip so you can get away with murder. The tool itself isn’t the issue, the motive is, as well as the person responsible for using it.
