Can we get 80 on mount Osmond road please?? It’s only 50 now and it’s just pathetic. Now obviously I’m not expecting everyone to be able to hold 80 the entire time, but there are some sections of road where doing 50 is a snails pace and the cars go even slower around corners so upping it to 80 would just stop the crawling of cars and also make it faster to drive on for everyone.

Our goal is to peacefully encourage more people to cycle and convince car owners to use their car for less trips when viable to do so. A lot of people own cars, would calling them Nazis really help our cause?

My vision is we make cyclists and public transit users look like responsible happy citizens and attract jealousy of those stuck in traffic.

Looks like a floating point error

What was the original Simpsons screenshot? I want to know what those signs originally said.

Who uses a mouse? I function all applications with just a keyboard, my custom arch based distribution doesn’t even support mice because I removed all drivers from the kernel. /s

Asked for the lyrics to Happy by Pharell Williams. It said, sorry I can't, so I forced it to by saying, but you can, and it apologised and started writing but it got force stopped by chatgpt because it violated content policy.

I don’t know how someone can lurk without the urge to post something or comment, that must take willpower

That... is silly. Things need to move.

So you expect us to live in a virtual pod with a treadmill and grow all of our own food? And collect rainwater?

Edit: I’m not saying we shouldn’t reduce our need for freight. Growing food in your backyard (half of my yard is good production) reduces the need for freight emissions. And I cycle to work. But drive or fly on holidays, I wish we had a more reliable train network.

If I’m unconscious indoors in a safe place then leave me alone I’ll wake up eventually

Should also include: don’t invite violence against people who simply own cars.

Ouch. That brought me some memories.

Not much activity in the Adelaide community, so I've opted to manually create these when I can. I don't know how to get a bot to do it. Maybe someone can make an Adelaide bot?

I ignore them. Since January 2022 I've used exclusively macOS & Linux and you can't go wrong with that. macOS for my daily driver work laptop (M1 MacBook Pro) and Arch Linux for my home server, though I do enjoy using it a lot for work and if this mac ever stops working I will definitely build a framework Linux laptop. Nothing comes close to FoSS, don't have to put up with most of this proprietary business-oriented software.

Any cyclists? (aussie.zone)

What are some cool roads near Adelaide to ride on that have interesting history / weird design or just underrated in general maybe in the hills.
