Guys, please pray for Star
- Comment on Australia spends $714 per person on roads every year – but just 90 cents goes to walking, wheeling and cycling 2 months ago:
You’re right. You can’t have a hodgepodge of cycling infrastructure that doesn’t lead anywhere and blame people for not using it. Cycle paths need to have planning and purpose and then you’ll see some actual uptake
- Comment on Australia spends $714 per person on roads every year – but just 90 cents goes to walking, wheeling and cycling 2 months ago:
I remember seeing some numbers that every kilometre driven actually costs the EU money in terms of maintenance and the environment, whereas ever kilometre cycled was a net gain
- Comment on Australia spends $714 per person on roads every year – but just 90 cents goes to walking, wheeling and cycling 2 months ago:
I live 15km from work and public transport doesn’t put you anywhere near it and there are no convenient bicycle paths. One of the most direct routes requires crossing the same road like 3 times or sharing the road with a 70km speed limit.
It could be such an easy ride but the considerations have not been put in place to make cycling a serious option for people that live nearby
- Comment on Australia bans DeepSeek on government devices over security risk 2 months ago:
We got an email at work not to use DeepSeek. And yeah, it’s funny how all the western malware is completely fine
- Comment on Are you a Coles patriot. Or are you a Woolies nationalist? 2 months ago:
Woolworths for online and Coles because it’s closest. There’s no IGA or Aldi conveniently nearby and I don’t have time to do the runaround sourcing things from everywhere else
- Comment on Private health insurance is a dud. That’s why a majority of Australians don’t have it | Grogonomics 3 months ago:
I’ll see if I can find something cheaper than my monthly repayments for my last tax bill. The repayments will add up if I don’t do anything as I can stretched it out to go over 24 months
- Comment on Private health insurance is a dud. That’s why a majority of Australians don’t have it | Grogonomics 3 months ago:
I looked into this at an old job. I could contribute $500 a month to super and only take home $250 less a month. I’ll definitely do this if I can pick up some side work again as that’s 6 grand a year in one of the safest investment vehicles you can use
- Comment on Private health insurance is a dud. That’s why a majority of Australians don’t have it | Grogonomics 3 months ago:
I’m over 31 and make enough to get hit with the Medicare levy surcharge. I don’t really want private health insurance but is there something I can get to cut down on how much I’d get stung for the surcharge every financial year?
- Comment on Australian bosses on notice as 'deliberate' wage theft becomes a crime 3 months ago:
Crazy wage theft has only been a civil matter up until now and not criminal. In the US wage theft outpaces theft from stores for value taken from people, I imagine it would be much the same here
- Comment on Australian families switching to cycling as car-running costs rise - ABC News 6 months ago:
It sucks people feel the need to ride their bike out of necessity. But riding is the best way to get around when the infrastructure is there.
Riding feels so good when you’re on a nice path with a flat run. You get the same connection with the world around you as walking, but you move faster without the hassle of traffic
