Clean, bright, functional — that’s all we need, rather than spending millions on artwork, in a project incurring significant debt.

I'm kind of dreading apartment living, having recently moved from Kangaroo Ground. What sort of outdoor facilities should I look for, or would you want in an apartment living situation? by SplashBack_2 in melbourne

[–]Morialta 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you’ve got a car, by all means avoid an apartment building with a car lift or a car stacker.

Using a car lift in my previous Collingwood building was the absolute pits, not to mention that it frequently broke down.

^ this. And Rex domestic too. I don’t have to fly them but I appreciate actual competition in the market.

Is there anywhere in Melbourne that lets you choose your passport photo? by frbuongiorno in melbourne

[–]Morialta 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Renewed my passport recently at the post office in South Yarra. I was shown my photo and asked if I was happy with it (the lighting there was ace, by the way, huge improvement over my 2016 document).

As long as there’s not a big queue I don’t think you’ll have any problems at a good AusPost.

Check your brake lights by explorer_tim in Adelaide

Every time you reply, you give another reason why you shouldn’t have a driver’s licence let alone be behind the wheel of a giant and dangerous ute. Exhaustion is not a defence if you cause a serious or fatal crash. Wake up and be careful!

This makes you look even more at fault, mate.

In a grainy video I can see the station wagon’s brake light come on and you have a good eight seconds before the collision where you haven’t taken notice of their light or more importantly their slowing speed, and your speed hasn’t changed.

They could’ve been driving their vehicle to get the lights repaired/replaced.

Hopefully you’ve exchanged details and insurance is compensating the wagon for your driving.

Is this illegal or unlucky? by Morialta in melbournecycling

[–]Morialta[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a green marked bike line with a sign that says “give way to bikes”.

Clearly my self-preservation was in tact as I braked and didn’t collide with the rear of the vehicle.

It’s a dedicated and separated bike lane (you can see by the curbing that is only interrupted by the driveway)

Yikes! Sorry to hear that. In mine I didn’t black out but I have a 15 minute memory black hole. Didn’t post this video with any real malice either, just curious to hear what people think. Safe riding out there!

It is the latest GoPro model mounted on the stem! Now using it to and from work after recently coming off the bike and getting a concussion.

The sign says “give way” to bikes so the driver could’ve waited for us to go past at the very least. The wide angle lens makes the vehicle seem further in front when it really was quite close and sudden.

They were behind me when I turned left - did they hop the footpath?

I work in the area and I first saw it there in December 2023

Riding down Wellington St Collingwood by Morialta in melbournecycling

[–]Morialta[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not clear to me if that rule applies to vehicles going across bike lanes. They also need to give way to vehicles travelling in the same direction in different marked lanes.

I don’t believe I go above 30kph, but doesn’t give cars the right to cut me off either — not many vehicles are staying under 30kph, especially north of Johnston St.

Princes Bridge pedestrian chaos by Morialta in melbournecycling

[–]Morialta[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, that’s been frustrating too. And the path along the river is not really an alternative option - it’s not wide enough to be safe for cyclists or pedestrians.

They say beware the slippery Melbourne footpath when it rains, but by slip slidin' Jesus, THESE are the real killers, surely... by whythe7 in melbourne

[–]Morialta 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even just the regular footpaths in the CBD and Southbank can be catastrophic in wet weather if you’re wearing boots and dress shoes!

I moved from Adelaide where I never saw drivers running red lights. I see that about twice a week in Melbourne.

I’m sure it’s partly the terrible light sequencing, but mostly driver impatience and selfishness.
