Holy mackerel, I swear driving inbound on the M1 from the outer west is going to be the death of me. Also if I see one more person indicate and then immediately merge or not indicate at all, I am going to scream. Indicating is a warning to those around you, and that means you need to give everyone sufficient time to heed your warning.

I'm watching a show about hoarders. One of the irrational things they do is keep so many clothes that are ragged or don't or never fit them.

Boundaries people!! Everyone in the docos are far too nice and let the hoarders walk all over them. They let the hoarders ruin their home and ruin their neighbourhood, They make it really unhealthy and unsafe for everyone else.

Does anyone know how fast those Lime scooters can go vs how fast it actually goes? Rode one today and was easily overtaken by private eScooters even though I was flooring that thing with my thumb HARD.

faster than the wait time for an orthopaedic surgeon appointment.

@goodviking @bot001 those private scooters are almost certainly over the legal limit, which I think is 250w, but you can buy them for "off road" use with larger motors. nobody checks of course, but the scooter share companies have to offer legal vehicles for sure.

20km/h they're limited to
