Waymo’s driverless cars crash way less often than humans: report
Reply in thread
The arsehole human parking in the bike lane can be caught and fined.
Allowing Waymo to do it normalises it and makes the issue worse.

Social manners. What are the basics you expect from people on your 'hood?
Probably since everyone started wearing headphones. In my opinion, thanking the driver is a courtesy, but not required. I usually just give them a wave as I'm leaving the back door. If I was a driver, I think I'd get sick of having to acknowledge every thank you. But that's me.
The one that annoys me is people stopping in the middle of paths/walkways/aisles, usually in the dead middle, to have a chat with zero regards towards anyone around them trying to get past. Just step to the side, pretty easy to do.

FDA to pull common but ineffective cold medicine from market
About time. Thankfully in Australia we can still get access to the ones containing psuedoephedrine, which works amazingly well.
Can't believe it has taken this long to see the inefficacy of these.

how do you see future of linux?
Bright. As it continues to grow, and MS gets more terrible I think desktop share will always increase.
I seriously worry about what happens when Linus decides to end his involvement though. I don't keep up with the happens of the kernel devs but the thought of a split, takeover or power vacuum is a concern for me. Hopefully someone can assure me.

Australia spends $714 per person on roads every year – but just 90 cents goes to walking, wheeling and cycling

Where do you get the ridiculous assertion that a bicycle is just a hobby? Plenty of people cycle to work, shops, visit friends etc. I am one of them.
Brisbane City Council openly publishes counts of cycle paths around Brisbane. There are literally thousands of people using these on weekdays to commute.

Heading into town after lunch with a mate for a few bevvies and trivia.
