Not really. I just leave at the time needed to get to work on time for whatever mode I’m using. It’s about 8 miles, and before COVID it was usually quicker to cycle than sit in traffic. Now there’s less traffic so cycling takes a bit longer than car, but not much. Bus is about the same as cycling.

I’m 57 and not hugely fit, but I can cycle 8 miles each way without any problem. Takes 30-35 minutes depending on wind direction.

Keep you healthy too. I need to start using mine again.

At least they learned and stopped doing it.

We’ve got 1 car. If I need to go somewhere and the wife has it, I get the bus. It’s a lot cheaper than owning 2 cars.

Love it. It’s why I stopped putting adverts on any of my sites. I’d rather lose a few £s in order to make the interwebs slightly less shit.

You are supposed to scream into the abyss. The void is for staring.

What’s wrong with your house smelling like curry? It’s delicious. Better than smelling of hamberders and old man farts.

Good god this is real. What a tit.

It would be nice if the roads that lacked a crossing weren’t so lethal to pedestrians. Maybe remind drivers that other people use the road as well as them?

I don’t want it to collapse. Just stop being an arsehole.

https://beaks.live is my contribution to the nonshittified web.

Anyone know someone that has bought into this? I’ve got some magic beans and a bridge to sell them,

Cager = Car driver. Because driving a car is a like driving your own cage, metaphorically and literally. I don’t think it’s a particularly useful word.

It’s pretty unlikely these days. You can try it on a bootable usb stick first, to make sure the hardware is ok with it. Ubuntu has more support for things like non-free drivers and such.

This is the best way to do it because they will go further on the off chance that you are a prime scamming victim rather than someone winding them up. Hooked one for about 25 minutes once because I said the phone wasn’t next to the pc, so I had to keep shuffling between the two. Every time I came back from the pc, I gave the phone a whack on the table to make them jump.

Can you use FF extensions with it? The web site doesn’t say one way or the other.

It’s quite possibly Mystery and Imagination. I need to confer with a friend …

Jesus, that’s some real desperate idiots there.

Decades of pandering to drivers has resulted in feelings of massive entitlement, where any move towards equality of transport is seen as an attack on their fundamental rights. It’s going to be difficult (if not impossible) to shift. Round here the prospect of lowering speed limits causes such angst and wailing and anger that you would think they were being asked to poke their eyes out with a stick, rather than add an extra 30 seconds on to their journey time. When you take a step back and view it with open eyes, it’s utterly ridiculous.

I guess we’ll continue having these sorts of battles over transport infrastructure until the generation with this panicky car-centric entitlement dies out.
