Thanks for sharing. 6 months training of which 30 hours driving an emergency vehicle. I have no clue how effective these classes are and how adequate people feel after 30 hours. Also maybe it’s more or less in other places, but either way: if innocent people die while going after guilty people, that’s incredibly sad and if that happens time and time again, something in the system is clearly broken.

I once read US police get only get a few months training, if true i would not be surprised they don’t drive safer/better as any other guy.

You are the one who said “Instead, most Canadian cities tax housing.” is an inaccurate assumption while everything you say agrees with this lol.

But then the fee would rise equally in big cities as it would in small towns, but they’re all over the place. One increases where the other decreases etc.

That explanation doesn’t explain why these fees differ so much from place, considering the fee is per housing unit. Higher density can mean building and maintaining infrastructure is more expensive but not by factor 10 or 20. Also these costs rise rather equally across the country, while this graph clearly shows a huge difference between cities there as well.

Edit: meant to write a comment to another comment, removed this ‘copy’.

Just one?

A line in the sand has been drawn in the AI race: the porn-brained and the porn-banned.

What a great opening line. No AI would come up with that.

O, and the argument of the porn-brained: porn is progress. Fuck yes.

I can’t remember seeing a physical poster made by them, nor a video campaign. I think they’ve changed their approach over the years because when I hear of or from them it is either because a local chapter object or suggest a certain design of a very specific place like a crossing or a new road or because they’ve lobbying some very specific change in a law or a guideline. Not sure what caused that change. Maybe our country already believe cars suck? Not sure, but a lot of people who drive do prefer to cycle if the distance allows it, especially if they’re travelling inside a town.

I’ve seen versions of this that make more sense then this poster as well, reason for sharing it is mainly because it’s age shows that the concept of space for people (vs space for machines) has been relevant for a long time now.

Edit: Also notice how much this street look like some streets in some countries, but look nothing like inner-city streets in the Netherlands. Roads without bike lanes are extremely uncommon nowadays.

Another one i like:

Big clearance: 12 instead of 1.

If true, guns would be real jealous

The World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) is an international clothing-optional bike ride in which participants plan, meet and ride together en masse on human-powered transport (the vast majority on bicycles, but some on skateboards and inline skates), to “deliver a vision of a cleaner, safer, body-positive world.” The largest iteration of the WNBR in the world takes place in Portland, Oregon averaging approximately 10,000 participants and thousands of spectators.

I like your thinking, from now on i identify as Gen Z, i’ve had enough far-right bullshit.

It’s not personal, there just aren’t that many ways to commit genocide with this ceasefire going on.

It is on the top side
