@kn8.bsky.social any way I could pay you for a high-res version of this photo? I'd like to get it made into a print for my Dad for his birthday - provided you were cool with that! DM me if that's something you'd be up for and we can figure it out. It's a truly awesome photo.

Absolutely no-one is going to say that out load vs. just a glance down at screen. Plus, most of the times I'm especially interested in knowing some data real-time I CAN'T TALK.

"bright clothes, headlights on" as if these are equivalent. As if a driver driving in the dark with their headlights off is just like a pedestrian choosing to wear a navy hoodie instead of a yellow rain coat.

The way you've put this is so, so good. Immediately want to parrot this at my work, gently haunted by the irony that I'll be saying something I didn't think of myself in order to criticise people who don't think for themselves.

Avoided them so far. Make my own in those refillable flasks. Just honey and lemon juice. No clue how effective they are as fuel, but can't be far wrong and taste amazing.

Your honour, had the deceased not collided with my abruptly outstretched foot at the top of the stairwell, they wouldn't have fallen to their death. Truly a tragic accident.

Not living in a time and universe where I could have had the the opportunity to walk through a peaceful forest at dusk with lantern hanging from my staff feels like an injustice that I'll never fully recover from.

There is absolutely no interpretation of this story that could be summarised as an "e-bike crash". BBC claiming they've been accurate here is a load of shit.

Just had 2 hours of basically flawless, smooth gameplay. Closed game and shutdown PC to do some stuff, started back up and it's all stuttery again... Changed nothing.

I don't really want a thriving car industry. I want to reclaim our public spaces for people. I want to be able to walk and bike as much as possible and feel safe. I want reliable, low-cost public transport to get around. If you must do cars, do them like those tiny Microlino fellas or Citroen Ami.
