Here’s an example, tradies use all sorts of things, ranging from kei trucks to just loading everything on the back if a motorbike.

I literally have never seen someone use a f150 here as a work truck, they’re too impractical and expensive.

They have access from the other direction, and presumably they know to avoid important times, idk, maybe theres a permitting process.

If you allow 2 full lanes on residential streets, people start buying cars and parking them in the street. Wider lanes can work if the city can prevent street parking and discourage home parking, the important thing is that you don’t increase traffic. Japan requires proof of a parking spot to register a vehicle.

Tell me you’ve only ever lived in car-centric hellscapes without telling me you’ve never left America.

workers depend on it (or do you see tradies lugging their shit around on a bus?)

I see workers hauling tools, 20’ rebar, etc on bikes every morning. Occasionally I see a washer+dryer+refrigerator on the back of a 2 wheeler. But typically large loads like that are handled by 3 or 5 wheelers. Large concrete mixers and dumptrucks are uncommon enough its OK if they block an entire street for a night.

The important part isn’t that the roads are narrow, its that the environment is hostile enough to cars that they aren’t anybody’s primary transport.

If you can restrict the cars, you’ll have plenty of room for everything else. A 12’ car lane can permit dozens of cars per minute or hundreds of bikes or thousands of pedestrians. The worst part is, the more car-based infrastructure you build, the worse it gets as more people are forced to drive.

Not a hat guy, and its too damn hot to wear more clothes. Sometimes I see locals wearing puffy jackets that have fans blowing on the inside, but that seems too cumbersome.

The store increases the price because people will pay more for higher number. You can get spf 80 or 100 cheap elsewhere.

How did the Vaseline spf50 work? Thats what I use on my body since it seems the most water-resistant, but I still get pretty dark. Did you test face sunscreens?

Careful of sunscreen stains. I apply 2 thin layers under air conditioning to minimize the moisture and allow it to fully dry.

Clean it with soap and water every day and put vasseline on it, then bandage. Not so much vasseline the edges turn white, but enough so it stays moist. I lost a decent amount of skin in a motorcycle accident last year and the only scarring was the area that got infected.

When I stopped my bike to look at the monkeys, the front wheel slipped on some wet leaves and caught the bike while accidentally revving the engine and hitting my balls on the fuel tank. The monkeys saw it all.

I have no thoughts on the matter, but here’s a couple monkeys I saw this morning.

Its not useful for murderers, since most murder isn’t a risk vs reward calculation, but I could see it being used for white collar crime and political corruption severe enough to cause multiple social murders.

The 20 dollar fix: 2 bollards near intersections to stop people from parking where they force bikes to swerved in front of distracted drivers and block pedestrians from the view of drivers.

Walk directly across the hood.

The skeletons that pop out aren’t related to the function of the machine, the wizards that built them just thought it was funny.

Wait you don’t put the beans on the toast?
