Lol, yeah, that tracks. Edit: what a lovely snipe. Here's an update from our newest national monument: https://twitter.com/batshit_auspol/status/1756981746120458706?t=dU8Lj7_CIr6P0G0kfcssPw&s=19 Captain Theron fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Feb 13, 2024 |

For me, it wasn't just his ugly pastel coloured appropriation of the Aboriginal flag. It was the way he doubled down on it as genius. And a marvelous representation of the unique Australian landscape, (despite it not having any colours commonly seen outside in Aus.) And refused to understand how racist it was to steal the indigenous flag, how ugly his flag was, and how many other people were angry with him for being stupid. Just a dense, dense self unaware pile of poo. That continued on and on. Although, I do wonder what his next obsession will be. We've had 1,000,000 word articles about Q, we've had scribbling lines on a map of Sydney, what will he solve next?

Anidav posted:Isnt London a shitzone though Right, and even with the lovely zones, people are still willing to ride in the wet, thereby disproving Recoome's lazy attempt at a point. Imagine the numbers we'd see if they had a superhighway that didn't force them to share space with cars. Electric Wrigglies posted:active transportation will gain way more people if it is to cover off the last km on an electric bike to a train or a bus that whizzes them 16 km each morning to work. Electric bikes should hopefully really drive up metro usage as the "last km" public transport has always been a huge gap in Aus. Well it's a good thing that connecting existing public transport stops and providing good routes around them is ingrained in the DNA of the plan. Getting 16 km to work isn't the only use-case we need to consider. It's about how people move around in their communities. To school or the supermarket. With a good network, we can replace cars for a good chunk of trips. Also 16 km is a very ridable distance anyway. Stop thinking in terms of binaries, like "it is for THIS". It's for a whole bunch of things. EoinCannon posted:I reckon escooters will attract more people cos you can easily get them on a train and just hop on and off them and fracture your skull and break your wrists. They're the first share vehicle scheme I've seen catch on in Melbourne. Yep, we call them bike-paths out of habit, but it's important to remember they're actually MUPs, Multi-Use Paths, for all kinds of modes, and it looks like zippy little e-scooters are shaping up to be a pretty big part of that too, for better or worse. As well as walkers and wheelchairs of course. I tried a shared scooter scheme in Adelaide, and found the speed limit to be prohibitively slow, and the relative cost prohibitively high. CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:I lost braincells reading that rightwing style anti public transport vomit. Just stop. gee if if only we'd figured out a way to address incline issues at some point in the last thousand years, oh well, "seven traffic lights to bring all perpendicular city traffic to a halt while we cross" it is. By your logic, the rigorous interrogation the superhighway plan has been put through is rightwing style anti-cycling vomit. If you can't answer basic and important questions about your supposedly superior plan then maybe it's not so superior after all. Another thing - this "public transport network" you want to spend billions of dollars on, does it do anything for Urban Cargo Deliveries, or is it more of an exclusively "passenger" thing? Is it good for parents doing the school run? Does it take them from door to door? What about grocery shopping? Nice and easy for that too? That said, the Metro rules. It's so drat fast, and straight, and clean and quiet and cool, and seems to be pretty well-used. I'm all about minimising interruptions with intersections, and that's exactly what the metro does. Most of the construction IS out of the way (apart form the building some of the stations), and so is the operation. The difference is, it does it by throwing an eye-watering stream of hundred-dollar bills into the coalface, and I think those tunnels might be beyond the skillset of the army reserve. If you can build the thing on the right, don't tell me we can't build the thing on the left. And obviously, obviously, it should at least connect from Tallowong to Schofields. Here this guy has some ideas for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy7KRLWCPwo Captain Theron posted:So, uh, what's the story about Bucky and the indigenous flag? He decided to unilaterally redesign it or something? I offered a suggestion for a simple and elegant solution to a real and pertinent problem, and as usual the thread lost its poo poo while completely failing to offer any alternatives. Because they are hell-bent on racistly repeating the mistake this colony has made since its inception, which is to ignore first nations' design principles. That's probably why they're so opposed to using the ancient technology of flat ground and walkable trails too. Bucky Fullminster fucked around with this message at 07:22 on Feb 13, 2024 |

What if we cover the superhighway in solar panels overhead? That way we generate power and keep all the cyclists dry in the rain. It's so blindingly obvious I'm surprised Bucky hasn't mentioned it previously.

NPR Journalizard posted:Say what you will about Bucky, it looks like he gets results. Oh look an actual well thought out plan that has a proper destination, links to existing routes and would get used. This will also link to Parramatta river cycle lanes and also to Concord West and create a link from Sydney Airport to Parramatta via bike and pedestrian path. While some of the bike paths are foul IMO after Sydney Airport, it actually gives you a viable cycling route from Taylor's Square / Oxford St to Westmead via the south. That also gives you a route from Taren Point as well to Parramatta. Bravo to Mr Moss, this is exactly what is required and so so so well thought out. quote:By your logic, the rigorous interrogation the superhighway plan has been put through is rightwing style anti-cycling vomit.

I know Forrest has just seen a way to make money off climate change, but that’s better than actively trying to obfuscate climate change and extend fossil fuel use.
