Turns out if you go out of your way to not be a sexual deviant, people won’t have a safe word around you. Go, Normie.

Australia@aussie.zone•Why do so few people cycle for transport in Australia? 6 ideas on how to reap all the benefits of bikes
3·2 years agoTo your question, I couldn’t afford to live where I work (near the brighton end of the SE industrial zone), and the hub-and-spoke melbourne train network means my PT commute would be somewhere between 2 to 2.5 hours one way, with me getting to work two hours after my start time.
We operate 24 hours a day, for back shifts there is literally no public transport option available at the 10-11pm shift change due to the end of service (and making the start time earlier would just mean shift change at 4am, same problem.)
Changing workplaces in the industrial/ag sector is another important factor. For example, my last job, I was driving 40 minutes in the opposite direction to my current commute, it wouldn’t be tenable to sell and buy housing every time there is a job change, the stamp duty alone would be a waste of money. For my colleagues, I recruited a couple last year from a company that wound up, they went from a 20 minute drive in one direction to a 40 minute drive in the other direction, Many travel radially across the city to get here, and large industrial/manufacturing plants are typically NIMBYed in development or if the sprawl grows around it, suddenly there’s noise and activity restrictions.
I could get work locally outside my area of expertise, but I’d be stunting my career and dropping about $50 grand a year in earning potential.
I 100% support public transport and personal mobility, but also recognise the limitations.

61·2 years agoI live 42 km from work, and I have school drop off’s and pickups on the way. I can’t live where I work, and the kids education opportunities means I can’t have them educated where Iive.
Bikes and public transport are welcome but won’t help my situation.

Squaring using 3+4=5 is one of the oldest relationships used by masons. don’t need a ruler, just a piece of string or straight edge. Pythagoras described the relationship on paper

Australia@aussie.zone•Parking isn't as important for restaurants as the owners think it is
71·3 years ago“In this case, Eagle Street scored highly. This was mainly due to it having the highest parking fee (A$30-$75 for three hours) of the three restaurant precincts. Even in Caxton Street, which has the cheapest parking ($11 for three hours), more than one in three customers travelled by public transport.”
Also, water is wet.
Lovely unbiased article

I’m sorry about your dog. I’m just a first aider but from what I’ve read in case reports it sounds very similar to Crush Syndrome
Basically the tissue is dying or has died and the fresh blood flow overwhelms the kidneys and immune system causing renal failure














On the bright side, all the car thieves that knew how to open a steering lock have all grown up, so a club lock is probably going to be the best defence outside of a kill switch. Great for road rage, too
