It's cool how we developed tools to destroy the world before we developed a way to understand what would destroy the world. Good poo poo. Anyway, what's up with this 'great filter' talk

Did a(nother) community bike ride to try and get 500 m of bikeways finished off. End goal being to connect two major bikeways , and bisect my city with a bikeway whilst generally following the major public transport routes , creating a micro-mobility/cycle highway Imagine being against being able to ride 40km north to south and not having risk of being hit by a car because of "potential impacts to the way you use [X] street" with no actual named grievance

Yeah, supposedly Mexico’s air pollution has also been getting better due to a variety of factors. It is interesting to watch as both Mexico and even parts of Canada more seriously start to diverge from the US. Also, a bunch of Mexican cities have genuine grade separated BRTs which is rarely talked about.

Neat old film about how bikes became useful transportation in WWII. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzFMv-eIS7s It'd be nice if modern bikes came with fenders, chain guard, and kick stands standard.

mystes posted:I hate it when people put up no trespassing signs on public rights of way or try to hide them there's been this fight going on for like 40 years about this coastal path where my parents holiday. The nearby property is owned by some really rich guy, but he hates that people get to walk between his garden and the sea and fenced it off. He said they could walk on the beach instead, but that only works at low tide. At one point the locals got a judgement that their right of way existed but the local council wouldn't enforce it, so a bunch of them turned up with hammers and did some public works themselves (this was in France). I read about a similar story of direct action in England the other day but can't for the life of me find it. distortion park has issued a correction as of 07:41 on May 7, 2022 |

one of the fun things is everyone far and wide is recognizing how absolutely psychopathic drivers have become last 3 years and yet we are still so far from any sort of action and improving alternates that we probably have a decade or more of increasingly worse status quote psychopathy before we just collapse. let’s hope $10gal prices might force improving and building transit and keep peds safer but I doubt it just increasing hell until collapse

Norton posted:it's crazy to me how far you can hear traffic if you are trying to enjoy the outdoors. i swear I have to go at least a mile into the woods before I stop hearing the highway. noise pollution is horrible. when I was trying to find a new apartment I'd bust out my phone and measure the decibels during the mornings (when I was most often viewing places for the first time) I think the worst was a place that was 1500 feet from the highway; but inside the house I could somehow measure traffic over 65 decibels lol. there was a giant hill on the opposite side of the highway from the house and I imagine it was acting as some insane ampitheatre to make the highway even louder and focus all its noise into a suburban area. anyways a lot of my ideal choices fell through because landlords are garbage who can't run a background check faster than over 3 weeks, and I ended up having to rent a place that's about 500 feet from the highway. 18 hours of every day there's just a shitload of ambient noise from the highway, with constant peaks 24/7 from random people mashing their accelerator as hard as they can. I try not to think about the air quality and how bad my lungs are gonna get hosed from living here for a year but oh well lol. This gave me the shortest possible work commute out of all my options because spending 60+ minutes total driving every work day was driving me insane and costing me a ton of money and probably the greatest risk of my life due to the risk of traffic accidents out of every lifestyle change I could make. The funny/sad part is if I was making just a biiiit more money I'd have been able to afford rent at a place that is literally within a thousand feet of my job. I could have been walking to/from work within moments! There's even a walmart nearby if I wanted to go totally car less! At least my new place is near a bunch of stores and restaurants. Well, as long as I'm willing to drive to them, because they're all across a 4 lane stroad that's directly connected to a highway on ramp so it has constant traffic and no way to cross it. gently caress yeah!

It is going to be interesting in the next few years because it seems there is a huge push to also improve transit in regional Mexican cities as well as start re-introducing intercity rail. Tijuana is also supposed to be getting a commuter rail service. (Also, in general Latin America has taken the BRT concept and run with it, specifically by providing short headways and grade separation.) As far as Canada goes, it seems Montreal/Toronto/Ottawa are all pretty heavily investing in public transit. Canada is very car dominant (Not just Bikes is still right) but there seems to be an urge to follow international trends. I would say the US specifically is uniquely bad even for North America. Most of the country besides the Western states are selling their systems fall into disuse. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 13:43 on May 7, 2022 |

Opening with the story of Rob parking shittily in their spots intentionally as a gag is interesting, I was driving home once and imagined that somebody parked in my spot in my apartment's underground, and just the idea of it made me absolutely furious. This completely imagined scenario which did not and has never happened, and which would barely have inconvenienced me, still managed to make me extremely angry. And I'm a pretty easy going person by nature. The moral of the story is that cars turn people into monsters.

maybe its because this is the first nice weekend in 8 months in Minnesota but the highways were crazy today. numerous crashes which caused so much traffic during which I saw multiple cars go full speed and slam on the breaks (which is probably what caused the crashes in the first place) its a jungle out there. maybe everyone does have covid brain

I have the shortest commute of my life, outside of my time working in Europe. It is 10 minutes/2 miles one way and if I encounter other cars, there will be some fuckery about. People riding my rear end even though I have my turn signal on and there is another lane next to us, not yielding before entering a roundabout, veering into my lane while picking up their phone, etc. I only drive when it's very cold here in MN, otherwise I bike on the trails that I'm very grateful to have at my disposal.
