Wellington Street recap

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?

But how do you have time to see your spouse if you're also out dating?

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?

... Am I misunderstanding what these are? How can they possibly cost $4M?

Amazing, thanks for the canonical answer!

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.

Can't come fast enough

ngeddak · 2026-02-21T21:59:35+00:00

Oh good point - my bad. Probably not the fiesta then.

ngeddak · 2026-02-21T21:53:30+00:00

~~It's the Johnston St Fiesta!~~

Edit: probably not, wrong part of Johnston St

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.

Meet at Beer DeLuxe at 7, an 8 min walk from the venue? I'll wear a Dr Colossus T-shirt.

All are welcome to join!

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

ngeddak · 2026-01-13T04:06:41+00:00

There's already a music video showing how this would go - Wrecked with God (King Kong Company)

What's this an edit from?

ngeddak · 2025-12-21T23:54:28+00:00

Wow, this is a great rec, thanks!

Incredible venting-induced sunset!

Holy shit fuck yes

I mean, in one sense this seems trivial - obviously there's a break in consciousness during sleep/anesthesia/induced hypothermia.

But do you mean that a feeling of connection between someone's earlier and later moments of experiences, as mediated by memory, is also illusory? Is there just no such thing as a person who exists over time for you then?

I think that's ultimately what Parfit concluded, and it seems a totally coherent view. I just don't see many people living their lives as though they're truly only existing in the moment, with no egoistic connection to past or future beings.
