This is dumb. I can’t think of any way to enforce it, and although this obviously won’t pass and is just grandstanding I still pity the people having to think of how they can write guidance for the hospitality industry.
We already issue IDs to people in the sex they want. If you want a passport in a different sex than your birth certificate, you can have it, all you have to do is fill in a statutory declaration at the time of applying for your passport.
So if a trans man wants to go to the bathroom, do they use the women’s since they were born female, or do they use the men’s since they look male and have male ID?

Nah most bikes are much higher than those rails. If a bike isn’t (like a kids bike), they can go under the rails on the sides since there’s a sufficient height difference.
I think “they want to keep out motorbikes” is an incredibly lazy reason to have such a terrible and inaccessible design. Police enforcement is the appropriate way to deal with rare cases where someone takes their motorbike onto a clearly illegal path.
I have lived in areas where people ride motor bikes in areas supposed to be for pedestrians and bikes. They did it all the time. Some would ride recklessly, others were just riding their mopeds as a quicker path than using the road. It’s not the intent of the path and as a pedestrian it definitely puts you off using the path.
When I’m riding a bike, I haven’t had any issue with these types of bars, you can ride through them once you get some practice. So long as they are only used at entrances and not staggered along the path like your banana bar example then I would rather have them than not.
I haven’t heard of them, but if someone advertised unlimited internet and cut you off for 400GB of data then I think they would get in trouble for false advertising. If you average 400GB a month and occasionally hit 700 or 1TB I wouldn’t expect to have issues.
I often hit 5TB+ and never even considered I might hit a fair use policy. 1TB or less is well within the “I just watch a lot of Netflix” defence and so I wouldn’t be too worried about it.
Yeah, you usage is pretty normal these days, for the reason you describe. You’re not the only one having to download 80GB updates or 150GB games off Steam, pretty common these days.
Here’s our usage for the past few months. Just changed to this ISP in December which is why that’s so low:
It did actually surprise me to learn how much we use. At the last ISP they didn’t tell you how much you used, so I never knew. When we switched to this ISP I thought something must be wrong 😆
