lornosaj, w This Might Just Be the World's Best Metro System

Any tl;dw, yt link, or a summary (which city at least)? I like NJB, but I don’t want to register to a random site for this.

EDIT: It’s there.

In 1974, the first metro line was opened in Seoul, South Korea. Dozens of lines were built over the past few decades and today it’s so advanced and comprehensive that it might just be the world’s best metro system.

The video will be on YouTube later. I think NJB puts his videos up one week after the Nebula version?

fwiw though Nebula is not “a random site”. It’s the creator-owned platform that NJB and a bunch of other YouTube channels are on that helps give them a more reliable income source than the fickle YouTube algorithm, while being far more affordable and practical for the end user than supporting dozens of different individual people on Patreon.

lornosaj,

Didn’t know this about Nebula; will check it out, thanks for the info!

ConsumptionOne,

I subscribed on a $30 first year promo. Happy with it for the price. NJB, Climate Town, City Nerd, and a few other creators I was following before are on there, plus I’ve discovered some new content that’s pretty good. Plus it’s a little less YouTube/Google in my life.

I’d also recommend it. There’s a lot of great, high quality content from well-known creators with no ads and occasional other perks like early NJB videos.

Wendover did a good video (yt) on the Nebula model and background (Sam’s also the Chief Content Officer).

I’ve been on it. It’s awesome

i’d be interesting if you could selfhost something like this

GreatBlueHeron, w Please recommend a middle- to high-end hydraulic disc brake set with a Flat-mount caliper

When I was shopping for brakes, years ago, lots of told me SLX has all the quality/power of XT or XTR but they’re a tiny bit heavier and don’t have the prestigious badge. I went with SLX and have been very happy.

sin_free_for_00_days, w Manchester: Call for an end to cycle lanes behind bus stops

Instead of ending it, just address the problem. I’m no city designer, but seems like a button triggering a flashing light or something might be enough. It also seems like bikers would be pretty tuned into people crossing at the stops already.

Zagorath, w Not Just Bikes — What it's REALLY Like to Cycle in Montréal
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

At one point Jason talks about how tragic it is that it takes a death for the council to do something about making a road safer.

Which is definitely true, but gods even that makes me wish I had a council as good as the ones in Montreal. Brisbane City Council doesn’t even give a fuck when there is a death. There can be a cyclist die on a road where safety advocates have been saying for years there’s a dire need for safety upgrades, and they still won’t even countenance improving the safety. They’d rather spend council resources repeatedly removing the ghost bikes set up at the location memorialising the killed cyclist.

thesylveranti, w Milan will build 750 kilometers of bike lanes to create the largest cycling network in Europe

Doubts in Dutch…

But still amazing news

madjo, w The Dutch Intersection Is Coming to Save Your Life

The article even mentions Jason’s youtube channel

Vijfsnippervijf, w Not Just Bikes — They Tore Down a Highway and Made it a River (and traffic got better)

Kind-of similar to what they did in Utrecht. In the 1960s, they built a stub for a highway in part of the Utrecht canal. Then in the 2010s they turned it back into the canal it once was. And it led to a MUCH better atmosphere.

zante, w Natural Handcrafted Artisanal ... Streets?!

How else do you think block paving is put down ?

nesc,

Maybe some people never seen it being done, so they assumed it’s laid by some machine.

(I’ve done a little walkway like 4 meters long and 1.5 wide, with three other people, hellish work, mad respect for people doing it well)

DarkSirrush,

I actually have seen videos of brick laying machines before, its pretty neat.

jol,

Yes but it’s not versatile enough for most cases

This is 100% the weaponization of disability, amplified by people who don’t have disabilities but just don’t want to change their carbrained habits.
