Where I live in Western Australia they're not ripping bike lanes out per se, but existing bike infrastructure is just pitiful, and improvements are so painfully slow.
There's just no cycling culture here. It's considered a sport rather than a mode of transport.
It's not really clear whether scooters are going to have a positive impact by increasing demand for this infrastructure, or a negative impact by increasing animosity towards anything which is not a car.
What does that really mean though?
Pretty sure any city would tell you that they're doing their best to improve public transport.
The only question is whether their efforts would meet your subjective definition of "public transport first".
That's why I'm saying the general boycott on the 28th won't achieve anything.
Target specific products, brands, or stores and make specific demands of them.
I don't even see the code. All I see is heading, emphasis, dot-points ...
My guess is that someone is erecting turbines which interrupt the view of the landscape from his living room, and that the most logical opposition he can come up with is it's proximity to his boundary.
There's plenty of farm houses in really idyllic settings where you can't really see anything other than rolling hills with trees and pastures, and can't really hear anything other than your sheep and whatever.
Having someone plonk a turbine in the middle of that would be annoying, particularly because whoever owns that turbine and is getting the revenue from it probably plonked it somewhere they couldn't see nor hear it.
In this type of area if you want to build a piggery or hen house or some other kind of agriculture that is either noisy or smelly you do need planning approval and it is difficult to get.
Having said that, I don't have a lot of sympathy for cranky farmers. They whinge about absolutely everything, have ridiculous tax concessions, and over the last decade have made many millions in the growth of value in their properties. As in, he could plonk a couple of turbines in front of his neighbors house, and the revenue would pay for the construction of his 4th mansion in the next valley over.
How will they receive the message if you don't hit their pocketbook?
I fear the only message you're sending is that they're impervious to this type of protest.
I just don't see the point of obsidian et al.
Just use a directory structure and save markdown files in it.
There are many apps that are great editors for this structure on every platform. IDK exactly what obsidian does but many editors have zettelkasten (fancy cross links) functionality, just no fancy graph.
Ghostty + helix is the sexxy RN.
Hol up. Are notes stored in files in a directory structure or a single file? Just that you said "the file" so I'm wondering.
If so, that's lock in.
That's the whole point of markdown lmfao.
The march 7 to 14 Amazon thing is a better idea.
Anything not bought on 28 Feb will just be bought on 1 march. Retailers won't even notice.
Yeah I don't think either of them would care in the slightest about this type of polling.
Entirely predictable.
Trump was mocking the voting public on presidents day with that "Long live the king" quip.
That said, it's just bonkers that 40% of voters feel like things are going in the right direction. Honestly the whole thing is cooked.
Plenty of answers here but I don't think anyone has answered this part:
So here's my take ...
Musk did the sig heil as a fuck you to everyone that doesn't like him. That's it.
They just won the election by basically lying, ignoring, and playing for time. They can literally do whatever the fuck they like for the next n years with impunity.
Imagine if Harris had won and in her victory speech said something like "Don't worry Don, I'll make sure they give you diapers in jail." It would've been a low blow but we would've loved her for it because it's poking fun at the conservatives for no other reason than to stir them up.
I think there's another, longer conversation to be had about why racism (and by extension nazism) resonates with voters in 2025, but I'm too weary for that I think.
