@Pistcow not confirmed that this will be tolled, but it’s going to start from the end of one existing toll road which, yes, was built by a mix of public & private funds and is now privately-owned and tolled. I expect this will be the same.
But my objection is *primarily* about the fact that it’s being built at all, rather than about who’s paying for it, per se. Even if both are bad.
@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.
@coaxil Nikon D7500, some on a 55–200 mm f/4.0–5.6 lens, others on the 18–55 mm f/3.5–5.6 kit lens my older D3100 came with.
@coaxil I posted to this community from my Mastodon if you wanna go find that, but also here’s a direct link to the Pixelfed posts I *wanted* to link:
@brisbane I couldn’t figure out how to get them to post directly from Pixelfed to Lemmy how I wanted, unfortunately, so I’m posting a link to that from here.
And it also doesn’t seem that my double x-post to pics worked. 🤷♂️
@trk conveniently, I only noticed the fog because I went outside to bring in the washing, and discovered it was *soaked*.
@trk I went out last night at an unreasonable hour to go take photos. Took my good camera though, not the smartphone, so will have to wait to process them before sharing.
@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

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.
@brisbot much better this morning. Woke up early and managed to get myself outside for a quick half River Loop ride. Always feel good after doing morning exercise, as hard as it is to get up to actually do it.
@brisbot Urgh mornings suck. Usually I blame it on my tendency to go to bed late, but last night I was in bed early and set an alarm early to get up for some exercise. Morning arrives and I immediately re-set my alarm and go back to sleep until I have to be up for work.
@brisbot how exactly does Mastodon–Lemmy interaction work? This is a comment reply because I searched for it, but is there an equivalent to subscribing to a Lemmy community? A way to post in a community?
@Zozano it’s not so much fuck me, as fuck the entire Brisbane population.
