I think this problem will resolve itself if they remove the road surface
This is the equivalent main high street in Stockholm where the road's completely removed - far less likely to want to cycle through somewhere like this
Cyclists are continuing to ride along the newly pedestrianised section of Oxford Street, despite being asked to dismount.
Around seven security staff have been stationed near Oxford Circus, calling out to cyclists to get off their bikes, with mixed success.

We seem to have a problem with chronically under predicting rail ridership and while it does make for some good news stories it does risk leaving completely viable projects unfunded.
It was predicted 290,000-390,000 passengers would use the new station which opened a year ago today. Instead, more than 800,000 have used the @greateranglia station.

This is a problem completely of our own making because MPs are more concerned about getting votes from local NIMBYs than they are about building critical infrastructure
Exclusive from @breeallegretti
Ministers have been secretly warned that some English reservoirs are at risk of running dry, hitting water supplies to homes in the run-up to Christmas
The governmentβs emergency committee, known as Cobra, is meeting up to twice a week to discuss the situation in the southwest of England and Sussex
A secret βreasonable worst-case scenarioβ was drawn up, anticipating that several reservoirsβ water stocks could fall to 0 per cent β dubbed βday zeroβ β within weeks
Officials warned that without action, supplies to some homes could be affected, along with disruption to the construction of a nuclear power station and operations at a prison
Wimbleball reservoir, which supplies more than 400,000 people in Somerset, has 13 per cent of its capacity, while Ardingly, which serves 280,000 customers across West Sussex, is at 17 per cent

sure generative AI is going tear down the infrastructure all of our utilities, telecommunications, finances and public services
but it also helps your uncle make racist memes for his local facebook group, so it's impossible to say if it's bad or not
I'm usually someone who loves Christmas - but I fear this year there's about to be an avalanche of AI generated festive promotional slop that will make it unbearable
Putting the heating on when your house is cold shouldn't be seen as a frivolous luxury
It should be as normal as putting the lights on when it's dark, or putting the oven on when you're hungry

When are people going to realize that βdoesnβt want to have childrenβ is an extremely valid reason to have an abortion
Why is it the 'right thing'?
The only benefit of flight mode is to prevent you from picking up unwanted roaming charges as you cross different territories at low altitude
It's a complete myth that it has anything to do with your phone interfering with the aircraft's systems

Spent the last 2 weeks in Canada, and it's immediately clear why America will keep its competitive advantage forever.
Don't get me wrong, I love Canada! It's beautiful out here, and the people themselves are also lovely.
But! There is a serious lack of ambition, and an enormous amount of averseness to risk in a way that is not really fixable imo
Obviously I love seeing NIMBYism being called out, howevereveryone's only doing so because it's lidl
I understand the bad optics - but I just don't think 'some of the items are a bit cheaper than their competitors' should be a factor in a planning decision
