NJ actually has the best public transit in the USA. Just ask Gov Phil Murphy, or his wife who is running to replace the corrupt Sen. Bob Menendez (whose own son, Rep. Robert Menendez, is in his first term and considered too junior to succeed just yet).

https://youtu.be/1h7HpSHcHWE?si=TEOi0jugT15SLMJE This has probably already been posted like 1000 times but I can't be assed to check. It's a horror game where cars try to run you over while you try to walk home. Skip to like 5 mins in for terrifying content. E: pretty satisfying when the player jumps behind a bollard tho.

Rode my bike today I attempted this 9% gradient back in October and couldn't do it, so for the last three months I've been practicing on hills five days a week, and today I finally had my revenge. Thankful for this thread for always pushing me to do better (so I can post about it)

Guy on a bike just got hit by a car right outside my building. Someone on a scooter was hit a quarter mile down the same street a few weeks ago. The whole country's fighting over the murder that happened a couple miles away while people are being hurt and killed in totally mundane ways all around us.

Platystemon posted:Why does Subaru make a vehicle (Ascent) that’s like Hummer H3 levels of huge? Because they sell for a lot of money and a lot of the core Subaru demographic is getting older and wants bigass cars. I'd say that nobody's going to pay $50k for a goddamn Impreza but I guess the WRX actually gets near that now.

the other day a guy in a subaru got angry that the car I was in was preventing him from speeding, so he tailgated us and then mimed cocking and shooting at our vehicle with an imaginary pistol, before he turned off. subaru’s demographic is like that.

Unfortunately for him his license plate was easy to remember so we called a cop and they found him with relative ease.

HashtagGirlboss posted:What’s the thread consensus on UPS drivers? They’re good union workers and I find them to be a lot more pedestrian considerate than the fed ex and amazon scabs I see them driving into the 2 way “protected” bike lane a lot less. At least in NYC the problem is there are zero open zones for trucks to unload because free parking über alles so the FedEx and Amazon dudes with like 74 seconds allocated per delivery don’t have any good options. Stupid and frustrating situation, it seems like a lot of these deliveries could be done by cargo bike or smaller vehicles and they need a consistently open spot to unload.

Every package delivery driver keeps at least a few dozen other drivers off the road, so there is that. Probably a good idea to replace some parking with dedicated loading/unloading zones if they’re in the way.
