Acoustic cycle riders often complain about reckless people who speed down cycle paths on their high-powered "e-bikes." They point to lax enforcement, riders' inability to control their cycles at high speeds, and a general disregard for others sharing the path.
Now, replace "e-bikes" with "cars" and "cycle paths" with "roads." Suddenly, we're describing drivers.
Let’s shift the focus to dangerous driving, a far more widespread issue with greater consequences for everyone.
@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I find it odd that the site only mentions one Japanese product out of more than what, 10? I don't doubt that the ones listed here are all good, but I've tried some of them and there are definitely better instant noodles from Japan other than Raoh that didn't make the list. :blobfoxangry:
This is what I wrote in response to someone who believes the removal of DEI initiatives was a good thing.
"I assume you realize that DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) is (or was) intended to address racial, sexual, and other inequities resulting from past policies, such as slavery. Affirmative action was one of the ways to achieve DEI, and I strongly believe such efforts are necessary until everyone stands on equal footing. I wouldn’t call the removal of these initiatives a 'correction.' Instead, it’s a step backward in the pursuit of a truly equitable society"
It was a great ride except I made a mistake and rode on the Ave in the U-District instead of Brooklyn, which meant I got stuck in the Farmers Market traffic for more than five blocks. 😅
I'd side with Seattle on this. The local Safeway has one of its two doors closed permanently too, and that makes it unsafe for the shoppers on foot as we have to walk across the edge of the parking lot to get to the open door on the far end from the sidewalk. Sometime last year, a driver smashed their car into one of the columns between the two entrances. It could easily have been me had I been there.
Had lunch at Yua Ramen right next to Ranch 99 Market in #Edmonds. We wanted to give that place a try because it's run by the family of one of our daughter’s preschool teachers. 🌸
Too bad there were no cycle racks in that huge open space.
I can't believe my own stupidity. How in the world did I decide to take Burke-Gilman from Lake City to the U-District on a day like this instead of my usual route, which is 35th Ave --> Ravenna --> 25th Ave? The fact that much of the trail between NE 65th and the U-District is still full of tree roots doesn't help, and I should've known that, too.
"Key findings from the study highlight the significance of challenging the status quo to garner support for new initiatives. Despite initial opposition or skepticism, the report suggests that public opinion often shifts in favor of cycling infrastructure once the benefits become evident. However, policymakers are cautioned against adopting a paternalistic approach in promoting active travel schemes, as it may risk alienating segments of the population."
@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I'd think Berin, being in Germany, has punctual trains with no broken doors, but whoever said it, is probably right about convenience stores!
@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io@lyndings@tech.lgbt If you live in the Seattle area, Town & Country in Shoreline (formerly "Central Market") carries a good selection of instant noodles, if not 100. TJ's has "brioche" bread that's reminiscent of the Japanese soft bread, too, in case you haven't tried it.
