@v_sapronov @jasoncoxnc So you want your personal preferences to impact upon the freedoms of other people. Classy

[Lincoln Stuart @Simpson_1892]

@v_sapronov @Twittle_Johnny @jasoncoxnc Cool. So whats your problem with building houses where people already are again…?

[Lincoln Stuart @Simpson_1892]

@roodave @MAndrewWaugh Meanwhile the apartment you live in has no ventilation, has a glass facade facing north-west, the new building is crumbling, and to get across the street you have to wait at 3 separate lights, centimetres from diesel trucks moving at 60kph+ through a highly pedestrianised area.

[Lincoln Stuart @Simpson_1892]

@roodave @MAndrewWaugh But enforcing a barely attainable best possible practice as a minimum legal requirement in highly specific and costly instances is what we love to do most. It’s what keeps most of our essential infrastructure projects in the best possible place - in our imaginations :)

@AussieWirraway @MarkDando4 It creates confusion for non-locals and irregular travellers, but also for locals making trips or using modes they don’t normally use. Definitely a big design flaw - and not something replicated in many other major city transport networks.

[Lincoln Stuart @Simpson_1892]

@AussieWirraway @MarkDando4 Hence the confusion. It’s easy to underestimate how a seemingly minor issue compromises the service.

[Lincoln Stuart @Simpson_1892]

@AussieWirraway @royuniscool The problem is that it’s PTV that has created the mountain - by directly telling people *not* to do this.

@shorewalker1 @SeriousDangerAU @goodchatcomedy @MChandlerMather Fair enough. I can’t see as much evidence for them being as complex and sinister as the major parties. From my experience with I’m more inclined to assume Hanlon’s razor.

[Lincoln Stuart @Simpson_1892]

@shorewalker1 @SeriousDangerAU @goodchatcomedy @MChandlerMather The Greens always take the blatantly economically illiterate position. They advocate for price ceilings and demand subsidisation when prices are too high and the economy is already experiencing a shortfall of the good. It’s nothing but cheap votes.

@MathsPlusPlus @CollignonPeter You’re not genuinely understanding my point, and being an asshole about it in the meantime. I know the internet brings out the worst in us but you really seem like an awful person :( I feel quite sorry for you and the people around you..

[Lincoln Stuart @Simpson_1892]

@MathsPlusPlus @CollignonPeter I did not say value = quantity. I said certain values are *quantifiable*. Some more-so than others, but we can broadly estimate quantities for some seemingly intangible human values (and they’re published in scientific journals ;)). Why don’t you stop misrepresenting arguments.

[Lincoln Stuart @Simpson_1892]

@MathsPlusPlus @CollignonPeter I thought Martin was simply making a statement of his opinion supported by evidence, and wasn’t claiming that it nullified other legitimate scientific findings, just that it overrided them on a quantifiable judgement of the tradeoffs.

[Lincoln Stuart @Simpson_1892]

@MathsPlusPlus @CollignonPeter Look, I understand it’s difficult to quantitatively assess these sorts of alternatives rigorously - but making quantified value based assessments is obviously reasonable (and necessary) even if it doesn’t meet your standard of scientific rigour.

[Lincoln Stuart @Simpson_1892]

@MathsPlusPlus @CollignonPeter Yes, the “economy” of course is just an abstract elitist financial sportsball that has no bearing on the value of the lives of ordinary people… all that matters is that we conserve energy to maximise our lap count around the sun.

@l422y @CompletedStreet @GoBrightline Dude, nobody can see shit through that crap. Don’t kid yourself, it’s awful

[Lincoln Stuart @Simpson_1892]

@davejhyde @UnwalkableBris1 It was still the driver’s responsibility to give way before turning - but he was able to prove in court the cyclist was in a genuine blind spot and that he had given way to all traffic within the limit of the sightlines of the vehicle. What’s the solution?

[Lincoln Stuart @Simpson_1892]

@davejhyde @UnwalkableBris1 The same thing occurs here - and in this case of course. While at busy pedestrian crossings the pedestrians will receive a lead time of 10 seconds. In this case it looks like the cyclist was travelling faster than the bus, arrived several seconds into the green cycle.

@waitmanb The dog whistle I’m hearing is that someone’s a fair bit of communist apologist…

[Lincoln Stuart @Simpson_1892]

@Altimor @mmjukic There is a certain degree of bias in immigration toward the anglosphere, for obvious reasons.
