Relax, give it monthly and the asphalt will be covered in little black oil stains, designating it perfectly as a parking lane.

There are good arguments that legalised abortion decreases crime.

The Republicans are aware of this.

Days before US launched a major military operation in Iran, FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen staff from CI-12 the FBI counterintelligence unit tracking foreign spies operating on US soil.

They were investigating President Donald Trump’s alleged retention of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago

I'm concerned about my 10-yo being as scared as I am.

My Dutch wife, OTOH, wants to buy her a book about sexuality.

A pop-up book about sexuality.

Can't remote-exploit my bike.

Local exploits include loosening the headset bolts. Which is zero-click unless you use a ratchet wrench.

The worst where we live are the men on the way to the football club. Going to watch their kids or even with kids in the car.

Drivers not only go down it the wrong way, but they drive faster! Is it because they feel like they're less likely to get caught?

On the few occasions we've challenged anyone, the response is unbelievably childish. Especially for someone who's judged themselves responsible enough to drive a 2T SUV.

It is deliberate and it is a complete failure to take responsibility.

Ours is a one-way street, intended to reduce traffic through the neighbourhood and protect kids at the nearby school and football club.

And f'ing enforce it !

My village is 30bkm/h but the average driver is well over 40, not uncommon over 50.

50 in a 30 is not an accident or a mistake but a deliberate choice to speed and risk killing kids. A deliberate choice to speed and risk smearing a 5 year old's blood over your windscreen.

I firmly believe there are people who would still be alive today if not for the government delaying the blanket 30km/hr speed limits for urban areas. More will die while we wait for local councils to act #spΓ©irgorm

Two years on – saving lives with Wales’ 20mph speed limit - PJA Two years ago, Wales became the first UK nation to introduce a default 20mph speed limit on restricted roads. Here's what the latest data shows.

Definitely. Deaths dropped by 19% (100 people) are alive in the year following the introduction in Wales.

Senedd election 2026 sees 20mph as hot topic of discussion In a valleys cafe, many believe 20mph works outside schools and hospitals but question its use elsewhere.

I'm quoted in this BBC article on Wales's 20 mph default speed limit www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I'm even given slightly more coverage than the guy who somehow reckons not driving above 20 all the time will break your car πŸ˜•

Hopefully many of those who were so vocal before introduction won't bother again. It's pretty boring hearing "...and β€” in his view β€” less safe" all over again.

But even so, it's very hard to argue more people should be hurt or killed so you can briefly go faster between traffic lights.

I used to do it with my 1999 Volvo, leaving a note on the steering wheel, "don't open the window, it won't close again."

I did it because I flew for work a lot and the boss didn't care about the extra it cost, because it helped prevent me missing yet another flight πŸ˜‰
