Matthew in Aotearoa

I like science, software, outdoors, food, reading, water, biking, but not cars in bike lanes.

@DiaryofaSickGrl This won’t hurt

@Becs Is it the caffeine or something else?

@SwiftOnSecurity Caffeine is the world’s most popular psychoactive stimulant.

@Bridgetpee No, but my parents were 🤣 Part of my job is writing Python professionally, and would argue that using good tools for the job is a job well done. And professional-level exams tend to be open book.

this is ridiculous, next thing you know they won't be making public swimming pool lanes wide enough for my yacht or footpaths big enough for my preferred "star shape" running style

How to create a cycling culture where none exists? Build a complete network, and build it quickly. Between 2016 and 2024, Vilnius built 164 kilometres of Dutch-inspired, red asphalt cycle paths, and went from 1.5 to 4.5% modal share—a three-fold increase—in two political terms.🧵

@tmurphyNZ What business?

@ask_aubry Over ear headphones are like “do not distrub” mode. But some people can’t read.

Mystifies me that cycle lanes have become a partisan issue. Every time I mention them in here the usual conservatives appear and tell me how wasteful they are. Yet when Key and Brownlee announced $100m funding back in the day, we saw no pushback from either side.

I am not against cars. I own a car.

What I’m actually against is a world designed where cars are the only way to get around.

isnt it strange how dishwashers need you to insert detergent every time

why does it not have its own tank from which it can dispense as needed and you replace it like once a month
