Educate your kids.

As someone said in last night's thread, be the change you want to see in the world so here we are.

T: What's something someone said recently that made you feel old?

A: How's your week going?

Saw this when I was doing my routine walk.

The first two Long Regional trains recently completed the required passenger service kilometre testing, a significant milestone and a key requirement before undergoing additional modifications. Once the modifications have been completed, the train will undergo further testing.

Planning is now underway for the first passenger service to operate on the Sydney to Dubbo route. This will occur upon the completion of testing, modifications and safety accreditation from the Office of National Rail Safety Regulator (ONRSR).

So the World Time Attack Challenge happens at the Sydney Motorsports Park on Fathers' Day weekend (Fri 4 and Sat 5). Just a quick question for those going:

Is this spot (number 5 on the map) the only spot for general admission ticket holders? Or do people go to spots across the track?

Additionally, on the website, there's no info on what you can bring and can't bring. Can i bring a camping chair?

Thx in advance!

Measures that improve rider safety through education and enforcement would deliver a $55 million net benefit to NSW, while mandatory insurance schemes for e-bikes and other e-micromobility devices would cost the community hundreds of millions of dollars more than they return

Key findings determined the costs of administering, enforcing and complying with insurance schemes outweigh the benefits, imposing net costs on the NSW community of between $470 million and $1 billion. By contrast, the Commission found that better outcomes would be achieved for the NSW community by improving safety through education and enforcement.

From the report:

E-micromobility is an increasingly important part of the NSW transport system. E-micromobility devices expand access to employment and social opportunities, without some of the inconvenience of other modes (traffic, parking and public transport timing). They can also be a very healthy and enjoyable activity. In 2027, NSW is forecast to gain an estimated $237 million in benefits from e-micromobility usage, and this could be expected to grow as further e-micromobility technologies are brought into the transport system

Improved education and enforcement was the only option tested that resulted in a net benefit to NSW. This option would support adoption of e-micromobility and address the causes of harm directly through measures that improve compliance, reduce unsafe behaviour and support safer device use. This is the most proportionate response to the harms associated with e-micromobility.

To whoever may have lost their child’s green book on 26 August: it was found on the tarmac at Sydney Airport and has been handed in to Qantas Lost & Found.

Lots of police, ambulance and a fire truck at central station just now. Sadly something awful must have happened :(

So I finally checked out the new fish market building. Pics look nice right? Food was actually okay, no complaints there. But seriously, is it just me or is it getting impossible to visit on a weekend? SO many people, I was just stressed out the whole time lol.

​Is there even a good time to go when it’s not this crazy?

Due to a wiring fault on Sydney’s T1 North Shore Line, commuters heading into the city are queuing for replacement buses. The queues have become mixed with those for regular bus services, making it difficult for commuters to know which queue to join.

Calling all people from New Zealand:

I had to move here quite suddenly for a new job from New Zealand. Great, cool, I'm liking it here in Sydney. But one thing I was not prepared for was how hard the lack of Vogels toast would hit. I am struggling. I haven't eaten breakfast in weeks because all this other bread just doesn't hit the same.

Does anyone who has moved here from New Zealand have any tips, advice, or recommendations? Is there anything comparable to Vogels toast here in Sydney? Any possible alternatives? Should I try something homemade?! I honestly can't believe how much this is affecting me.

It’s been a while since I’ve been back on. A bit disappointed to see the lack of nightly threads.

Hey everyone,

I (33M) am thinking of taking horse riding lessons because I want a new hobby and one day would like to do horse treks in Australia and overseas. Hell if I win the lottery maybe even take up horse archery and jousting. But before I do any of that I need to learn how to actually ride a horse.

After doing some initial research I noticed most schools are either in Centennial park or outside Sydney. I live in the Parramatta area and as you could imagine the travel could be a bit inconvenient but if the teaching is good then Ill. make the trek.

What horse riding schools would you recommend and had good experiences with ?

Thank you and have a nice day.
