I can't remember the exact number but in order to actually account for what it costs to build+maintain shouldn't street parking be something like $200/hour. That's probably wrong but whatever, the sheer scale of invisible subsidies given to the auto industry and drivers is insane

mystes posted:biking indoors is the most boring thing in the universe I have mine set up in front of my TV and while it's not as good as a good ride outside, Wahoo SYSTM is pretty decent entertainment and I can do it on weekday evenings without worrying about getting hit by a self driving car haven't tried out zwift or the other ones yet, might try trainer road next

I used to work at Lowe’s and the number of people that would toll in with comically large trucks that weren’t actually practical for anything was insane. can’t even count how many times I’d load 2x4s into a truck bed over my shoulder because the bed was at chest height

HashtagGirlboss posted: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 average speed cameras for freeways are better though as it means you can't floor brakes for cameras, you do need to send out someone after people with license plate concealers or fake ones. there's entire foprums dedicated to how to make decoy plates that switch with a button hooked up to your radio lol.

lol the dunken thing could never happen here in the US because basically every single drive through has rules that YOU HAVE TO BE IN A CAR TO USE A DRIVE THROUGH. I didn't have a car until I was 21 or 22 and it was hella annoying because I worked late all the drat time and places would close the inside but not the drive through for a few hours and i'd just be like hey. please. i'd love to buy some food and they would be all NO YOU NEED A CAR. Thus I began to hate car culture even more. silicone thrills has issued a correction as of 07:40 on Jul 29, 2023 |

The boat goes directly into them because the SEVENTY FIVE year old captain, who needs a mobility scooter, can’t stand and so doesn’t see them. Insane.

Often mobility problems make bending or standing up from a low seat hard, meaning a lower car is almost impossible to get in and out of, but a much higher one or a minivan is easier, because you can just kinda step in and out. That truck seems a bit much though.

this was filed in the 2022 legislative session in Washington state but I don't think it ever went anywhere: https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=5903&Year=2021&Initiative=false quote:Any drive-up service open to motor vehicle traffic, whether publicly or privately operated, must allow other multimodal transportation alternatives to access the services. However, if it is determined that a traffic safety hazard exists by mixing motor vehicle traffic with nonmotor vehicle traffic within the same lane, an alternative lane or lanes must be made available for other multimodal transportation alternatives.

so if Seattle passes a law (like they did with the right turn on red stuff) is the restauranteur analog that they just ignore the law and don't implement it?
