Feel free to spit on the current state of transit; it’s shit in so many places and there’s no pretending otherwise. It’s important to stress that the transit will be unrecognizable from current state if properly funded. If people think I’m talking about them ditching their cars, getting on the existing transit and watching their trip times go up 292%, they’d be right to dismiss me.

Fine, two. Two-lane, no parking roads are still only a third of the size of four-lane roads with parking on both sides.

The roads are huge because of multiple lanes in two directions with street parking on the side. An ambulance only needs one lane.

What happens more often where you live – ambulances reach capacity or somebody gets run over and dies?

ped_xing, 2 months ago

Nobody’s proposing banning ambulances. You should be able to take the metro to the club. You should also be able to take it outside of the city and you can figure out the remainder of your journey from there. Reclaiming land from cars would also allow more space within cities for parks and such and decrease the need to get out of the city to escape dickheads leaning on their horns.

If I were a driver, I’d simply keep my automobile on land.

You’re welcome to ask things like that of me. This is within the realm of stuff I will gladly do for you.

I find np a worse message when taken literally. If I even have to write an email, it’s at least a little problem. yw allows for a problem you solved for somebody without suggesting that it doesn’t come at the expense of other priorities. Both will be interpreted the same way by almost everyone, of course.

Was it officer down?

Huh, wonder if they changed that. I thought they had people coming in from Sun Prairie back in the day.

Sorry, do you mean Madison or Milwaukee? All of Madison is within range and none of Milwaukee is. It absolutely sucks that she moved HQ even beyond Madison’s boring and sleepy west side where there was plenty of room. It doubly sucks that she was sending 20%+ of her employees on flights every Monday pre-covid and thought putting up some solar panels would make a dent in the environmental impact of that.

Standing right there, turn until you see a pile of trash bags and take a picture of that instead. There’s your legitimate gripe with Manhattan.

“Locally made” makes it sounds like they’re bringing them home from the farmer’s market in a canvas bag.

When I first started drinking coffee, I didn’t get the point of a packet of sugar. The coffee was still overpowering. You’d need to up the sugar content by a factor of 10 to get anywhere, so I just went with black coffee. An old roommate had the seem realization but went the other way – he would add the equivalent of 10 packets of sugar by just pouring from the sugar container for an uncomfortable length of time. Now the ridiculously sweet coffee is a regular menu item you can order without feeling self-conscious.

The number of times I walked out of the shower without using soap plus i times the number of times I soaped at least twice to avoid that scenario.

It’s a square root of negative one. A sneaky way to get two answers with one question.

Thermostat makes a little sense – I’ve adjusted it remotely after realizing I left it on during vacation.

It seems like a company that would require employee-purchased headsets would already require employee-purchased laptops. Do you know of any? Honest question; I don’t, but my bubble is pretty small.
