Bicycle network design should intentionally minimize the number of times a person cycling must stop to maintain efficiency, unnecessary stop signs included.

This subsequently has to be built up again during acceleration by overcoming resistance due to friction and mass inertia.

Reupping this thread in response to @[email protected]'s video. @[email protected] lacks #empathy. We deserve a much more thoughtful city for all residents. #winnipeg #wpgpoli https://twitter.com/bpincott/status/1606019018732683264

“I’ve been thinking a lot about empathy lately. When I left Calgary City Council back in 2017, one reporter asked me what is the one quality I felt a City Councillor needs. I answered “empathy”. I still believe that, more now than ever. #yyccc #wpgpoli #winnipeg #cdnmuni 1/6”

Let's all work to make our river trails viable for transportation as well as recreation.

For thousands of years, fermenting beer was considered a household task for #women.

By the Middle Ages, some sold beer at English markets. Female brewers wore tall, pointy hats to be easily spotted. They stood by cauldrons & often had cats to keep mice away.

Sound familiar? It should.

You see, when male brewers felt threatened, they accused the women of witchcraft. These rumors may have led to some witch iconography we still recognize today.

Women used to dominate the beer industry – until the witch accusations started pouring in

Today, beer is marketed to men and the industry is run by men. It wasn’t always that way.

Takeaways from my first week here:

1. I am still very new here and have much to learn

2. Hashtags are your friend. Follow them. Use them. Capitalize each word in them

3. You will miss things, and that is the point.

4. For people you don't want to miss, click the bell in the profile or make some lists

5. Boost. Boost. Boost.

6. It is nice to make connections and not chase an algorithm

7. People seem to be happier here

8. Always add descriptions to your images

I picked up a Harman Kardon 730 vintage amp that’s a year older than I am. Pots are cleaned, bias is adjusted, and already it’s sounding very good. I’ve got a boatload of capacitors to change out, and a few transistors.

It took a while before the old server would acknowledge my new Mastadon ID existed, but I'm now a proud member of winnipegsocial.online.
