Ask your friend what they are personally doing for the homeless.

probably not a lot as a councilor (I don't know what they get up to outside of their council work), their council focus is environmental issues. So going to assume they drink heavily at the lack of progress being made in pretty much every aspect (except for corrupt property developers, they are making a lot of progress).

Fundamentally, everything about it is stupid.
Maybe if you designed a new city that's going to use it from day one, it would be "practical". But then your city will be a huge, empty, barren, unwalkable nightmare.

The doco The Experimental City goes into this, with the idea of building a city specifically around a few types of technologies and urban planning ideas to see how they would work in practice. The mode of transport they would have planned around was a dual-mode vehicle, that could drive like a car on a street or attach to something like a track or cable and basically become a cable-car and drive itself to a location. If you like urban planning and insane pie in the sky ideas, check the doco out. It's good.

Sure, I’ll try and track it down, thanks, but it feels important to note that we’re working with what we’ve got here, not starting from scratch

Oh this isn't meant to be in agreement with your ideas or disagreement with them, or me putting forth an alternative solution, I just think you would really dig the doco.

Also watch Citizen Jane (2016), another urban planning doco.

proposal: dual-mode trucks, like the O-Bahn in Adelaide, so we combine both trucks and trains into one.

even better if they are electric trucks.

when I said "make it a subject", I meant give them the skills and training, not send them out on active jobs per se. Ropes, knots, radio comms, maybe a bit of light chainsaw juggling. All good general skills. The point is that it would be better than waiting and doing these long drawn-out training sessions one weeknight at at time, which is what 90% of being in the SES is.

Also don't underestimate literal children.

I've taught children (and adults) ropes & knots, and without constant supervision, they would straight up kill each other and themselves.

This causes a big hazard to pedestrians and cyclists as the drivers are more occupied paying attention to possible oncoming traffic coming from the right and don't notice pedestrians/cyclists to their left. Especially in stupidly big vehicles like Ford Raptors and Dodge Rams.

alright nice, never mind then, we're moving towards active transport anyway, motorists can wait I guess. I feel like there are definitely times when you could do it more, and we should keep it moving if we can, and I don't like going off one stranger's tweet about one study, but whatever who cares, get on a bike losers we're going cycling

There must have been a bunch of incidents in America recently as I have seen the topic pop up a lot over the past few weeks, that tweet was just the first one I found as I was phoneposting on the couch.

This would secure the Ford Ranger vote by creating less traffic and more parking spaces by taking a significant number of cars off the road.

Ford Ranger drivers aren't capable of this level of thought, thats both why they drive a Ford Ranger and why we are in this mess to begin with.

vs. Destoroyah, they suggest it's partly because of what happened in vs. Mechagodzilla II with Fire Rodan dying to juice Godzilla up and win IIRC

I need to re-watch all of those one day, I haven't seen them since watching them late night on SBS way back in the day.

Biolante, Destroyah, and Ghidorah movies are great, same with some of the MechaGodzilla ones.

38 if you include the crummy animated Godzilla trilogy

the terrible iteration of the baby is in Spacegodzilla, and there's different one in Final Wars but it's fine there tbh, also the motorcycle fight obliterates any criticisms I have of that movie

by my accounting half of Godzilla movies are at least good enough to be worth the watch, about 3/4 if you're a dork like me that can't get enough and enjoy the dodgier Shōwa ones, which ain't a bad hit rate for a long running franchise. better than any of this superhero crap or the star wars will ever manage I'm sure

I have a DVD of one of the Heisei Godzilla VS Mechagodzillas laying around here somewhere. I should watch it again as its been a hot minute since I have seen any of the old movies.

Need to get a copy of Gamera too.
