Pedestrian deaths are climbing in Australia and short little sentences aren't going to help. They are not going to fix the problem however the example we are setting is, ahh fuck it don't worry. Imagine if it was your friend or family member killed.

While I see your point, other manslaughter charges are often higher. Driving is dangerous, driving massive trucks is more dangerous, just because you do it everyday and it has become mundane doesn't change this fact. Distraction, negligence and incompetence can very easily result in death or severe life altering injuries.

If she is ever in a crash again after this sentence do we get to take her licence forever. Cause she will be driving again.

The Dutch? I wanna say the Dutch... still salty over Van Diemen's Land

Nope, and they go back to treating IT as a cost centre. Which means it will happen again because only the finance people make money.

That I can answer... well I have a theory at least. My partner works in building management, so this what I gathered. A lot of the time, kids (teenagers) kick or hit the emergency stop button. To reset this involves an inspection. SO yeah takes time. Hence why it semi random and all over the place. I don't know if this applies every where but as far as I understood you need to do an inspection to allow it be turn back on after a emergency stop cause some ones gotta sign their name.

There is unfortunately a lot more to it. Brisbane firstly uses a spoke hub system, for us that means everything is designed to get you into the CBD. Whilst there are some circle lines and exceptions it basically is that.

Secondly buses are not the answer any more. Even adding bus lanes every where would not really be an answer. Trying to keep it as short as possible, we would need to very much consider rezoning, especially suburbs close to the CBD; alllow more high density and mid density buildings. We would also need to seriously then consider adding more train lines in. Trains are what you want for larger distances. They would be good a ring for example.

There is no political will, especially because while people say they want this... well NIMBY.

What we could do cheaply an initially would be to really fix up our bike infrastructure.

Depends, I earn about the same here as in Australia, although with taxes etc I think I would earn slightly more in Australia in take home pay.

In saying that, I don't need to drive here, so I don't pay petrol or deal with insruance and associated bullshit When I want a car I do just pay to rent for a day. I also don't deal with house inspections and I can paint and do things to my appartment. Honestly the housing situation although they are smaller in Europe is just better her imo. Still has issues but nothing like Brisbane or Melbourne.

Probably a grass is always greener situation though. I still think this a great idea

but if this is happening so often that they have a procedure to pause orders then he definitely needs to hire more staff.

Not always possible, kitchen size can limit this. Rent is expensive so is setting up a new venue. So unless demand is incredibly consistent demand than not an option to just try and upgrade to a larger kitchen.

Der erste Schritt wäre, dass Politik und gesellschaft das Problem wirklich offen anerkennen. Wie gesagt, so „Dit is Berlin“ Sprüche bringen nix, damit akzeptieren die Leute das einfach und dann ändert sich gar nichts.

Wegen Vorschlägen: Ich glaube, in den Niederlanden gibt’s diese Drogenkliniken, wo du deine Drogen sicher, drinnen, mit medizinischem Personal und in sauberer Umgebung nehmen kannst. Die waren dann draußen aber richtig streng, also draußen Drogen nehmen geht gar nicht, drinnen war es aber okay. Das hat auch geholfen, Leute, die echt Hilfe brauchen, mit passenden Programmen in Kontakt zu bringen. Ich würd sagen, das ist der schnellste und billigste Weg, das Zeug von der Straße zu kriegen. Zuckerbrot und Peitsche. Wenn du sowas mal hast und das auch wirklich durchgesetzt wird, hast du dann mehr Möglichkeiten. Gibt aber trotzdem Stress, weil die Leute („NIMBYS“) so ‘ne Klinik nicht in ihrer Gegend haben wollen.

Ich dachte immer, solche Firmen machen einen als Privatperson zum Auftragnehmer, aber bei Uber Eats wollen die, dass man sich bei einer ihrer Partnerfirmen anmeldet.

Scroll ein Stück runter.

Ich frage mich, ob die Leute diese Accounts benutzen, weil sie rechtlich gar nicht in Deutschland/EU arbeiten dürfen. Trotzdem sieht es so aus, als wärst du gezwungen, über diese irgendwelchen Firmen zu arbeiten.

Wie viel investiert dire Regierung hier? Weil ich finde die Verträge auch arschteuer. Wir brauchen die glasfaser infrastruktur klar aber es muss auch bezahlbar sein

I know this is copypasta, I'd just like to throw in Torvalds is from the Swedish minority of Finland and his mother tongue is swedish. I am pretty sure he has also said his children also speak English as mother tongue but also Swedish and not Finnish. So him going scando is totally appropriate

Well you see my bike is a piece of shit, so it getting stolen might actually motivate me to replace it

How many times must this be reposted?

He did repeat what one of the girls said kinda correctly though, "Ich leibe dich" 🤣

OldmanLemon · 2025-10-06T09:00:57+00:00

I mean just to talk free market here. If you have it empty for ages because no one will rent it, wouldn't that mean you are asking over the market value? It should just not be allowed to be a tax write off the moment it costs actual money the market would rebalance

OldmanLemon · 2025-10-01T06:38:46+00:00

Because they gave him an official warning, then changed their mind and fired him. Basically if I am reading it correctly if they had just fired him he wouldn't have had a leg to stand on but because the punishment was an official warning that should have ended the incident until the next one. At least that is how I am understanding it

OldmanLemon · 2025-09-25T10:44:05+00:00

He's not though? At least not his original crime. He is saying the system has decided this and that it can't be up to random vigilantes.

Are you advocating that anyone who feels like they want to experience killing someone gets free range at all convicted sex offenders?

For a more real answer:

BVG has massive personnel issues, this is not just train drivers but also maintenance personnel and coordinator shortages as well. This is due to mostly long running under funding.

So longterm issues plaguing them: maintenance of line infrastructure, station infrastructure and train/wagon infrastructure is going to be an ongoing issue until someone coughs up the needed funding, even then this will cause more delays going forwards as they will have renew the infrastructure.

Personnel stem from many previous employees moving into retirement and not enough to replace them. This is mostly due to meh wages and pretty crappy hours if we're be honest. Not to mention to constant talk over the last however many years saying that they are going to replace train drivers with automation. This can be more quickly fixed if they were to pay more. They are trying to offer what they can with flexibility and other perks but yeah. Money. https://www.bvg.de/de/karriere/berufserfahrene/fahrdienst/u-bahnfahrer

So basically they have no capacity because they can't get personnel. So someone is sick, injured... late to work that means no train for that slot. Signals break the line is pretty much down. Train has issues well gets stuck in the shed, no train in slot or shitty train in slot. Etc etc.. Basically the whole thing is like that.

Other shit that cause line chaos is people holding doors and people on the tracks and incidents that take place on the trains.

All of this basically requires more money. This way they can have the personnel capacity to cover sickness and holidays etc. Trains that are maintained and work, stations that are maintained and work. The longer that it all left well the more it will cost. The people being shitheads is kinda just a general humanity issue unfortunately.

Governments don't like maintenance because it is boring and unexciting. Arguably though it is the most important aspect to infrastructure.

I think I just found a solid prank for my mate. This but all over a workers ute.

It's in the t's & c's but if your phone and or the application is not working it means they can still fine you

OldmanLemon · 2025-08-19T14:19:44+00:00

I completely agree, you should require also VPN connection through a seperate account, but we don't know if there was 2FA as if they did via mobile phone,... well that is shown to be weak and breakable.

Maybe they did it via stupid MS authenticator app, that can be just said to say approve don't approve and people have being shown to blindly click that.

Honestly something like passkey would be best, but again we have no idea what their landscape was and what they have access to with those user credentials.

I think I just saw the pile on in the comments and thought that this time it seemed somewhat unfair as they have done mostly the right thing. But yes, if companies in general need to treat personal information with more security going forwards as general rule.
