@singletona I’ve heard plenty about car centric design killing main street. Interesting what different parts people hear.
A melbournian with many interests:
* Christian (very liberal)
* Embedded Linux Engineer
* Magic The Gathering judge
* Board gamer
* Keyboard enthusiast (DIY, very small, Colemak)
* Getting into 3D printing, supporting the keyboards and gaming.
* Father of 2 kids (2018 & 2020)
* NixOS user (awaiting alternatives for community reasons)
All too often I come off as argumentative, I’m working on it but definitely a work in progress.

@GeneralEmergency probably, but it can be hard to see that context when your in it :)
Maybe it’s the general idea that main streets are dying in the concept of people should drive to every store, and stores that do this take away value from being able to walk between stores.
@jaybone I’d rather not have a 40m gap of nothing in the middle of main street.
@Pregnenolone I have trouble seeing the giant corp as the victim
@lgsp bike helmets are pretty much useless :)
@culpritus @krakenfury I mean they think that driving a car 4 hours to work is a sane solution.
Yes we need less cars, but leaving cars more dangerous isn’t the better interim solution.
While cars have always travelled at speed at night, till modern headlights they were just reckless.
It is another reason cycling infrastructure should be seperated: so headlights can be shielded.
@ltxrtquq @takeda (I can’t watch the video, so I’m going off just the image)
Imagine how pissed that driver would be if they were actually following what the driver probably thinks they should be doing: riding single file next to the kerb.
The long queue of bikes would prevent the driver turning onto the road for so long.
@jagged_circle @TheDrink reliable condition testing of batteries may be a big deal
@TrickDacy @Dungrad Isn’t that an improvement over a dumpster?
@Sanctus @Protoknuckles A Tesla is unlikely to improve that for you
@Swedneck @luckystarr The Netherlands doesn’t have the sprawliest of urban areas, but that is because those just don’t work, so don’t have them ;)
Yes, 30/60 is pretty reasonable once driving isn’t the only way for people to get around.
@Voyajer @AgentOrangesicle Yeah, they really need to be exterminated (at least for a few thousand km from here)

@AceBonobo @Showroom7561 I believe that around here they are required to be removed when not in use.
Not that anyone knows this.

@Almacca @Global_Liberty Yep, and someone should be in jail for it.
But also, nothing will happen, Tesla will keep failing.
