“However, researchers found given participants were likely to slightly reduce their reliance on cars, it showed experiencing car-free living, even briefly, could help people break away from automobility.”
I think this is an important secondary take away here. Reducing car use is still much better than continuing at current rate. (Similar to eating less meat vs going vegan cold turkey).
Owning a car does come with large sunk-costs tho - so you won’t feel the full financial benefit from just reducing car use (still have to pay rego, insurance, maintenance etc.)

On a similar note - I bought white as well as red reflective tape and stuck them to areas of my bike that made sense. I did the same to my helmet.

100%. Latex for side sleeping is so good.

I did when I travelled to Finland in summer and learnt they dont have public drink fountains in parks. I got so fuggin dehydrated that day 😆

There have been lot’s of memes since the social media age ban along the lines of “Now go outside and play! … Not like that!!!”

Sports clubs and hobby clubs for sure. In Australia we have clubs called Men’s* Sheds that are for things like woodworking, but also a place to talk about mental health - things like loneliness. (*I don’t think they’re all so exclusively Men’s sheds these days).

I play disc golf and that sometime feels like a church haha. Trying tk convince people it’s an awesome sport amd get them to try it feels like trying to convert someone 😂

That’s definitely one of the more unique methods of finding new music haha

Not answering your question exactly, but finding community (non-commercial) radio shows in your local area that you like is a good way to find new music. Find a few shows/presenters that play music/genres you like and they should play local artists that you might not have heard. They’ll also mention upcoming gigs etc.
