Why couldn't twitter just stay shitn't
Really can't tell if the "no one reads cover letters anymore" thing is real or just cope because nobody wants to have to write a fucking cover letters for each of their 300 job applications

Severance is urbanist media because it correctly identifies the inherent evilness of suburban office complexes and their parking lots.

Feels like auckland regional is even busier than auckland domestic this morning

Nosferatu was v good, but holy fuck was it difficult to concentrate on that when Academy Cinemas is approximately a billion degrees celsius when it's full

In news that makes me feel both ancient and slow, I found an old flatmates 14 year old kid on Strava, and the bastard is way faster than me.

A map of all primary or trunk roads in Auckland that don't get frequent bus service

Anyone who, on the face of it, hates the Hare Krishnas doing their thing in the city on Friday nights has no joy or whimsy in their heart, and is not gonna make it.

Some very nerdy detail on the frequent bus route numbering in Auckland:

33% of the possible frequent bus route numbers are currently in use

42% are committed to be used in the RPTP by 2031.

The fun thing about using a French provider for your website is that you sometimes get very convincing scam emails in Bosnian(?)

Replacing the cassette on my GF's city bike has left me convinced that any store that sells consumer level bikes without *at least* a 1:1 gear is actively sabotaging their customers

The new style shimano quick links with both rivets on one side can absolutely get fucked

Disappointed to report that I'm currently making a journey via uber that would have been a lot easier via Avondale to Southdown

Why does Netflix even have a Christmas themed TSA apologia movie

For those who've been around for a while:

Were any alternative alignments/locations for Britomart seriously considered prior to its construction in 2001? Or was the only serious proposal going alongside Quay St to the old bus terminal?

Wild that a Tauranga->Auckland bus starts at $34, while the equivalent flight is as low as $85.

Obviously 2.5x the cost is nothing to sneeze at, but neither is a 5x shorter travel time.

Te Huia extension would provide a good middle ground/actual competition to Intercity?

Serious question: Is there any point to building roundabout bypasses for bikes like these?

If you approach using the painted lanes as intended, you're surely confident enough to use a single lane residential roundabout without the help of a shared path

Not sure if anyone's bothered to do this before, but interesting to compare the Te Huia timetables before/after the Pukekohe station & electrification works wrap up in Feb.

Best case running time is 2h22m, which still isn't great, but is creeping down towards driving time in peak traffic

A very amateur guess as to what % of the Warkworth project budget is going to the cycleways:

AT costs a raised crossing $19k~$31k. 6 raised crossings across the various roundabout legs means an upper bound of $186,000.

Just finished Arcane S2 - it's watchable and has genuine highlights (Ambessa is v fun, Episode 7 was cute and Fortiche's work is consistently excellent) but Riot desperately needs to have a quiet word with the writers and give them some serious adult supervision for next time.

I have tried to catch a train 3 times in the last month, and all three times I have been greeted by this.

Fuck it, roads for everyone.

Riding Maioro St on a grey, drizzly day makes it very easy to despise Auckland, AT, and everything anyone ever bothered to build here.

Mathed it out, and not only is taking the bus (by far) the most expensive way to get to the city on a Saturday night, even driving to the the edge of the city zone and park-and-riding the rest is more expensive than just driving all the way in and paying for parking.
