Look, I could ride to work no probs but I'm a fat oval office and I take the bus instead. If you're too lazy to ride, just own it, don't come up with these THERE'S SNIPERS THAT ONLY SHOOT BIKE RIDERS scenarioes.

Bogan King posted:So the Junkee WordPress theme is custom af so fair go ripped them the gently caress off [Junkee] While I'd love to poo poo all over the liberal party, the underlying structure of both sites is massively different, the only real similarity is the layout (which is similar to literally hundreds of other websites) and the fonts which they've now changed. In short, it's really nothing to get worked up about. I'd never even heard of "Junkee" until this.

Mad Katter posted:If you live 25km from your job and can't ride a bike, that's cool because nobody is trying to convince you to. I would loving kill to have viable public transport to work. In Sydney it was an hour on two buses to work or 45 minutes down the m2 - buses every day! In Brisbane it's 30 minutes driving over the Gateway or 1.5+ hours via public transport. It's ridiculous. Someone needs to organise more than one loving bus route over the Gateway so I don't need to go all the way into the city and back out again to get anywhere. Hell, to bus into the city is 45 minutes (non peak express) or 15-20 minutes by car. This city is terrible beyond belief if you don't want to drive.

So happy Pell has finally been charged. I have friends who have been waiting 40 years for this moment and, even though they know he'll never actually answer for his crimes, being able to watch all the horrors that man committed during his life be brought to light is as close as they will ever see to justice.

Surely the court will have the balls to charge him and lock him up without bail? I mean this is a pretty big network of sexual abuse and the 3rd highest catholic in the Vatican is the equivalent of catching a godfather.

How will they get him out of Vatican City? There's a good reason he fled the country during the first big hearings.

My concern is that he's also a Cardinal-Prefect in charge of the Vatican's finances and they have no mandated retirement age. His position is up for renewal in another two years, I think, but it's anyone's guess what actually happens then. Also, the pope is not obliged to accept his resignation.

Periphery posted:Yeah, your issues are clearly affordability related, but even if you could afford to live closer to where you work then you'd just encounter all the same lack of bike (and pedestrian) infrastructure that currently exists. Sure, you might be happy to ride on roads where bikes are mixed with cars going 80kmph but a hell of a lot of people want to feel safe while they ride. Overall, if you want to really increase bike mode share rates then you need dedicated infrastructure for them. not to bang on any further but yeah I treat cyclists with respect but other drivers dont and that would prevent me riding to work too. I would love to not have to have a gym membership and just ride as its two birds with one stone. in terms of my car related travel, its pretty large. We are looking at moving as our money situation is going to be better soon. Work travel will be half for the two closer offices and roughly the same for the third, but highway instead of urban driving. currently im going through about $70 in petrol a week, plus the unseen costs (wear and tear) on the vehicle itself. sometimes im doing $90 in fuel plus tolls if I have a busy weekend with friends and family. but yeah, in the next 3 months that fuel cost will be reduced while rent is increased, and Im totally cool with that. on top of that less time commuting which is the biggest factor.

Korgan posted:They're loving with you. I have to attend appointments with my provider once a fortnight at the most. And yeah, the "job searching" they "provide assistance and facilities" for is a loving joke. Years back I was having to come in once a week to use their computers for job searching. PCs running outdated windows, slowest internet connection so your searches take forever (but it's ok, here's the local paper on the table and oh someone took the job section with them, welp), grimiest loving keyboards and mice you ever saw. Walking into that room was the most humiliating, demoralising thing. I finally found a job through no assistance of that useless pack of shits and they had the gall to mail me a satisfaction survey and then ring me once a week to remind me to fill it out and return it or otherwise my personal agent would get a low mark. I had similar a couple of years back, with Max Employment, the evil fuckers. But from what I could gather this hour on their PC's was instead of spending a week in a seminar learning how to better find a job, as if they could actually help a person. Of course the government was giving them a shitload of money on the pretense of training me for a week. In the end I did my job hunting at home before I went in, with the jobs I applied for on a list with me. I copied that list on to their approved form at their office, handed it to them and walked out. They were fine with this arrangement. Dammit, even just remembering my dealings with Max Recruitment gets me really angry.
