Additional image.

I had heard about the ghost bikes being repeatedly removed, but I rarely travel Nudgee Rd myself. Happened to drive down it last night and spotted this ingenuous solution to the problem. Had to stop and capture it.

edit: hmm, looks like Lemmy can't show images attached to replies. Shouldn't be too much of a surprise I guess. See it in reply.

@brisbane

@wildwhitehorses I doubt any state has ever had a leader worse than Joh Bjelke-Petersen.

@InEnduringGrowStrong ty!

@australia there have been a series of lies from our Lord Mayor and his council over this. Starting by blaming the pedestrian path closure on ex-cyclone Alfred, and then saying they needed a couple of days for inspections before it could be opened. We know now that the closure had nothing to do with Alfred, and was in fact damage that they've known about since at least 2016.

We haven't been given any timeline for when it will reopen, so our best guess is not until next year.

@trk
> Good thing we have Liberals in power now who are on the side of small business

It's a BCC project. Liberals have been in power since its inception.

@No1 it's a shame the debates are limited to only Labor and the LNP. At the last election, 1 in 3 Aussies voted third party or independent, so it would have been good to have more viewpoints represented. That's why there were calls on social media yesterday for #IncludeAdam.

@australia they lied to the press and public by claiming the protests are linked to the Greens, that they're related to Extinction Rebellion, and that they're illegal. None are true. Every protest has gone through the accepted process of declaring intent. Instead, BCC & QPS have wasted their resources fighting the protests in court with multiple expensive Silks, against the self-repped organisers. And they lie, inventing nonsensical security risks, in order to get the court to block the protest.

@otter yeah that back-to-back flooding is what I wanted to avoid. Plus it'd be nice if the images are associated with each other on the platform, hence thinking about collections. But tbh I don't have any idea how collections show up.

My other hope is to avoid duplication by posting the same images multiple times on different platforms. I *think* I've seen that mentioning a Lemmy Community will cause a post to be shared to Lemmy? Possibly only with the "cover" image showing up to Lemmy users?

@brisbane this announcement comes right in the middle of widening Gympie into an 8-lane monstrosity through this section. It needs a *serious* road diet. One 24/7 bus lane in each direction, a bike lane in each direction, and it would *still* be a 4 lane major road. But instead, we get peak-hour-only bus lanes and you can navigate some winding back streets (give way every time you cross *any* road!) if you wanna cycle to Chermside.

@brisbane It's supposed to be winter!! (Or at least, was just yesterday.) Darn weather was up over 30 degrees.

Run's 24.1 km total, took about 2:10 of running time, plus a fair few pauses to make sure I was still on track.

@australia they claim it's impossible to close a lane because one lane wouldn't be wide enough, so they would need two. If that were true, then fine; the answer is to do that, close two lanes. There'd still be 4 for cars. But it's not true. In fact, while the pedestrian paths on the bridge are wider than what would be left of one lane after water-filled safety barriers are installed, the paths on the on-ramps up to the bridge are *already* narrower than that.

@brisbot A building near me has had its fire alarm going since about noon yesterday. Three short high-pitched blasts in quick succession, followed by a brief ~1 second pause. *Non-stop*. Even with windows closed I can still hear it. And I am going fucking *crazy*.

@australia (the protest pictured here is a different one to the one that BCC and QPS lied to get blocked. A weekend march through the CBD streets that make up the official detour. Instead of the originally-planned peak-hour block of the Story Bridge)

@brisbot grr...dang federation. Seems comments from Pixelfed don't federate properly, and neither do edits to the post body. So my comment telling Lemmy users to click through to Pixelfed to see the other image in that post, or click the link to see the full collection from the day, didn't work: https://pixelfed.au/c/702260876992422191

@jerkface "it" being Pixelfed, or Lemmy?

@brisbot would any of the regulars here be able to copy/paste that message into Lemmy for me?

@Gamers_Mate @Rentlar no don't delete it! It's an important issue and more people should be able to see it!

@Spitzspot yeah I dunno why exactly the Pitch Drop experiment gets the label "longest continually-running experiment". Probably some kind of technicality about what exactly counts as "experiment" and "continually-running". There are some even older than Beal's listed on Wikipedia, depending on how you define it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_experiment

@jonne yeah fair question. It's the road shoulder. See my reply to @_cnt0 for more details
