    Help me Hivemind I&#39;ve been asked to come up with some bicycle themed snacks for an album release party Ideally appealing to people from mid teens to twenties who go to loud bands and enjoy a mosh pit. Not too time consuming or expensive please, I&#39;m a poor and tired person. Vegan would be good (especially with the price of eggs and butter) Best I can come up with is round cookies with spokes, rim and hub piped on #BikeTooter #FoodGloriousFood

    @Niall@mastodon.nz The rough approximation for the increase in damage is the fourth power. So if the axle is carrying twice the load it&#39;s causing 2x2x2x2 as much damage. I get that that&#39;s oversimplified and our roading construction is different from where that work was done (I&#39;ve heard they had to call off a similar trial on a test road constructed here because it got too dangerous. The road was degrading even quicker, so whatevs) and I know there&#39;s new developments in axle engi...

    @pezmico@mastodon.nz to be fair the logic is the heavier trucks can carry more things per trip and make less trips. I suspect &#39;fewer driver hours&quot; is more important than &quot;less diesel&quot; to the transport industry. I have an alternative idea for increasing load capacity per driver hour, but it is not popular with the road transport industry. It&#39;s also best combined with rail capable ferries, some of those sidings they hocked off to the developers of big box retail outlets and...

    @josh I have seen a take that it can dull a medical practitioners diagnosing and analytical skills. Potential explanation is that the summarising for notes is part of those processes. Maybe by refusing I am helping keep my GPs skills fresh? The emergency vet who used AI note taking didn&#39;t do a great job diagnosing my dog&#39;s woes, but was also working with the handicap of not being able to access the dog&#39;s regular notes and having to take the owner&#39;s word for things. @skinnylatte...

    Anyone have any information about the bylaw that&amp;#39;s the subject of this petition? Growing up in Tamaki Makau Rau with the restrictions on going into entire catchments in the Waitakere ranges, I was surprised by the open access here (and the paths and shrubbery across the face of the earth dam at Ross creek) Nowadays Watercare up there have obviously had to be less fussy, because there&amp;#39;s no way they can dictate what happens in the Waikato catchment. Surely we already have some co...

    @BobLefridge @cuddlyanarchist This bit confuses the heck out of me &quot;Simpson said the money for the transition is coming from TAB. &quot;It&#39;s money that was previously essentially going into greyhound racing and it&#39;s being used to fund the transition programme.&quot; If there&#39;s no more greyhound racing surely the money that&#39;s coming in from it now is going to stop? Do TAB profits normally go into consolidated funds, and therefore offset general taxation? Presumably they...

    I&amp;#39;m seething. There&amp;#39;s always something, I know. But this is a sneaky, petty thing. DCC backtracking on opening the Caversham tunnel to cyclists and pedestrians so soon after finally agreeing to progress it. They have been dragging the chain on it for so many years.

    @Sadsquatch I know there&#39;s been talk of inviting our city councillors on a cycling tour of some of the best and worst infrastructure @frstep

    @Sadsquatch That sounds like fun, and potentially transferrable to many urban ares @frstep
