More like if you stop swimming, a strong person with little clothing is gonna get physical with you. Also, I believe you need to kill some Norwegians specifically to get exiled to Iceland, where every village has an outdoor pool heated by lava. Or just move to Iceland without killing anyone if you're a coward.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:Exercise monitors like Fitbit also massively overstate calories burned for obvious reasons. Only accurate ones are Garmin iirc I got a new Garmin thing mostly for the sleep stuff and it claimed I burned like 200 in half an hour of lazily practicing turns in a parking lot (I am just now learning to ride a bike), so I do not think I would trust its numbers either. Related: does it matter what I get in terms of knee/elbow pads? The end of that session made it very clear that I need them, probably looking at another week before I have enough skin back on my knee to get out there again and I'm just starting to make some real progress so this sucks.

Ensign Expendable posted:Broke: parking in a bike lane When I used to ride the south lake union street car every day, multiple times the street car just had to stop and wait because people were parking like rear end half in the street car lane. I'd get out and just say gently caress it and walk. I remember once it was some moron with a harley davidson trailer and all i could think was that i wished the street cars had plows on them to just shove that garbage right off.

I'm sorry for the child abuse of not learning to ride a bike, but I'm glad you are learning now! I don't think you need knee and elbow pads unless you want to go mountain biking. Once you've got the basic balance (and you sound like you do), the main thing that's gonna make you fall is But also yeah, having the seat low enough that you can have a flat foot on the ground is maybe a good start too.

yep, same poo poo happened downtown when the sidewalk was expanded to make more pedestrian room for a busy bus stop. A guy half a block away who owns a furs shop lost his mind and threatened to sue everyone. Small business tyrants are the worst.

If that public property is "valuable real estate for a small business like hers," maybe she can buy it from the city instead of freeloading. idk

At some point the cops realized they could just do nothing all day and still get paid and nobody could do anything about it because they're cops. Why'd it have to be this union to be the one to recognize their power?

I think the excuse nationwide for not just parking your squad car at a dangerous intersection and writing tickets all day long is that they're still shook over the summer of 2020. It's your fault!

I don’t even want cops doing more traffic enforcement. Speed cameras and red light cameras are easy enough and as long as they put up good signage than boom 24 hour enforcement That said I had a pretty funny experience a while back I think I posted here at the time where a car blew through a stop sign then realized a ppb cruiser was right behind them and slammed on the brakes in the middle of the intersection. Driver was probably thinking oh poo poo as they then turned left probably expecting to be pulled over but the cruiser just drove through the intersection and went on with it’s day lmao. It was a nice newer model Lexus and maybe it would have been different if it had been a beater or maybe not, idk I’m pretty sure the massive uptick in unsafe driving I’ve noticed here in the last six months is people changing habits now that it’s clear there’s no enforcement anymore

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:https://www.post-gazette.com/local/city/2023/07/28/pittsburgh-squirrel-hill-purple-parking-zones/stories/202307270091 All the shop owners here throw a fit whenever parking is reduced to make room for bike lanes. Studies show that parking spots in front of a shop don't actually make them any money, especially since the car parked there is usually the owner's.

Just found out my city is proposing expanding paid parking to the whole city, strongly discouraging second cars per household, expanding public transport and bike infrastructure, making the city centre even less car-y, and greatly reducing parking provision around new builds. The paid or paid-permit-based parking includes currently free neighbourhoods and parking around shops, and is justified by environmental concerns and "people should pay to leave their cars on public land". Why don't we have a crying Dutch flag? Before you think I'm being too  about this, I found out because a neighbour brought round a petition against it. The least car-brained country in the world is still pretty drat car-brained.
