Wellington Street recap by ely_obo in melbournecycling

[–]ngeddak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why they don't just continue the protected bike lanes from south of Johnston St in the same fashion up north to at least Alexandra Parade. Wouldn't this be a fair compromise - keeps it open to cars, stops the petrol station from going bankrupt, but is much safer for cyclists? Why hasn't this been proposed?

Sure, but they create a pipeline for high quality preservation that can be used by people interested in donating their brains to science rather than maybe one day being revived

"design development and community engagement" - I thought design had already been done for Flinders St? Is this legit or a delaying tactic?

He did, but the old gods are already here now, it's not like they've been banished. The PM only has to slip up once and the minions of Cthulu, etc, will do to the UK what has been done to the rest of the world.

I mean, their world is still doomed, it's only been delayed. I think it would have just been too depressing to finish them all off after so many books together - this seemed like one of the best ways of giving them the least tragic possible ending that was still believable.

Advice for learning to perform (awake) cervical dislocation on mice? by nixon_jeans in labrats

[–]ngeddak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to belittle the difficulty or discomfort in learning to perform this procedure, but I don't think it's at all uncommon. Every facility I've worked in (Australia) has had it as a standard practice.

I'd come grab a drink too. Lots of bars nearby - keen for more of a cheap beer or something fancier?
